Hey Craig you got fancier stuff in your Kolb than I have in my Sierra, (the new GPS 696 is a loaner). LOL.

Get that MKIII put back together and flying. MV will be here before you
know it, 5 months on my Alabama calendar.
John
Good to hear from you
Its going together John... I've messed around 4 8 years and it is time
to fly. I know I don't need an artificial horizon in Arizona or any
where I would fly ..but it just looked aircrafty. Had to have it. My
exhaust is the titan one you had before. mine has a different muffler.
Ya I did have trouble with it... it was welded up by a motor cycle guy
rather than the welder that did my tank, he was too busy to weld the
muffler and I should have waited for him... the welds the motor cycle
guy did not penetrate and he ground most of what was, off... the back
of the muffler and exhaust tube went through the prop slamming it into
the flap. ... I wonder if the new titan one would fit under my cowl...I
admire Rick for his project those things get a guy going... I had fun
doing all the stuff I did to my plane, the reason I did it was because I
can..... Not really to improve the design....I did it because I like
the way it looks. The kolb design to me is the spirit of true flight.
Great visibility!!!closest thing to a helicopter without the maintenance
or disk, slow enough to have fun, fast enough to go across the country
and almost vertical takeoff and landing...but john I have to tell ya,
you and lots of other guys are doing it...FLYING AND ENJOYING Your Kolbs
....it's time to stop the tinkering and fly!! I like your KISS rule I
could have been flying...let's see what we can do at MV... I'll race you
for breakfast....if I don't fly to MV this year I'm not going
Uncle craig
15 hrs flying
2,000,000 hrs fussing, tinkering and building--enough is enough
