Here are some more photo's of the Oregon Desert. Doing my best to get the engine broken in. Temps were low 40's, Sky clear, with a lot of haze, no noticable wind. I flew cross country to a friends place, Crystal Crane Hot Springs. Total of 141 miles, average speed of 67 MPH. I did burn a bit more gas than I thought I would. A total of 8.25 gallons.Larry C

Cool photos, Larry! Do you ever fly lower? Ever thought of landing on a mesa?

According to my wife, my biggest problem is that I fly too low.  Actually if I am not going somewhere my average height is about 100 feet, sometimes lower, but this time I had to go to 7000 just to clear the mountains. All of the terrain under the plane is not suitable for landing. That is the nice part about flying high, it all looks good and smooth. The little dirt roads are your only hope of not tearing something up, and it is generally a long way to any where you could find help.

Larry:
It is difficult to understand just how desolate and sparsely populated your neck of the woods is until one actually flies it in a Kolb.
Can't wait to get back.

Really great pictures Larry, that looks like a great place to fly. That HKS is a great engine to have considering the terrain you fly over.
