Hello all:
The fog cleared just enough to get 1.7hrs in yesterday. The 34 degree air was smooth as silk. I put handwarmers in my gloves (like Arty does) and stayed comfortable. Here is the address to a google video of flying above some clouds over the practice area.

I've also attached a picture of my place with Grants Pass airport in the background. Flew a total of 80.8 hrs in '06. The 503 has 381.7 on it. Should I sell it as while still on the plane, or rebuild? Happy new year everyone.

Hi Roger and all,
Great photo of your place and the video was excellent.
I flew the Kolbra out to our annual "Bluenose Breakfast" at Horshoe Bend (F78). It was 30 degrees when I took off at Arlington and warmed to a balmy 40 when I landed back at KGKY.
The attached photos were at today's fly-in.

Ellery,
Good eye. That is my trailer/hanger. It is built out of thin wall box tubing and covered in prepainted corrugated steel roofing. It is extremely light and pulls easily. It has paid its way in hanger rent many times over. Now if I can just talk the county into letting me hack a taxiway through the trees.......

Your trailer looks the same as mine framed up with thin wall box tubing but covered in real heavy canvas and a zippered door on the back
I have it on barnstormers now any one looking for a nice detailed Firestar ,Trailer , Floats,ski's,wheels with all the bells and whistles you can fit in to one
Looking to get into a Mk 3 Classic or Extra
