I have some sad news to report. Mark's hanger at Forest Lake (25D in
Minnesota) was broken into last night and my Kolbra was targeted. The
thieves stole the engine, battery, aircraft seatbelts, and all avionics
by unbolting and cutting off the engine cable and unscrewing the panel
and cutting off the wires to all the instruments. Mark's large
snowblower, tools, and battery charger were also stolen. Mark just
finished building his new RANS S-7 and he is worried that his fuel may
have been compromised although his airplane looked intact.
They got in through the locked door and then opened the bi-fold hanger
door to bring a hoist and vehicle into the hanger. This was all done
under the cover of darkness. Mark called the police this morning and
they have the engine serial number (#4400582). The Warp Drive tapered
prop was also stolen (#T9433). The engine had a Titan exhaust system
with a specially-made prop spacer. This polished aluminum prop spacer is
very large and is one-of-a-kind. If anyone has any information on this
please contact me or local law enforcement (651-325-6461 Forest Lake
Police Department). Please be on the lookout for anyone who has recently
acquired a used 912UL 80hp engine. The instruments, include an EIS,
transponder, Microair radio, ASI, altimeter, and compass.
I would appreciate it if you could forward this to other lists that I
am not aware of.
Here are some pictures ...
Thanks for any information about this theft,
