Kolbers:



Just got off the phone with Travis, Bryan, and Dennis.  Kolb  Aircraft will

be arriving Lakeland Sunday after next, 25 Mar 2011.



Looks like it is time to push Miss P'fer (P fer plane) out of the old

sagging, rusty tin covered hanger, fly over to Ronnie Collin's airstrip,

across the lake and six miles west of Gantt International Airport, borrow

his water hose and wash the barn dust, bird and bug crap off in preparation

for the flight to Sun and Fun.  



The last cross country flights I did was in Nov 2011, and May/Jun 2011.  Boy

am I rusty.  In fact, haven't done a whole lot of flying this past year or

so far this year.



Look forward to seeing all the old familiar faces again, and new ones I

haven't had a chance to meet.  Always good to put a face with posts to the

Kolb List.



This will be my 29th consecutive visit to Sun and Fun, the first was in Mar

1984, where I hung on the fence, watched Dennis Souder wring out the new

Ultrastar, and drooled on it when it was not flying.  I purchased my first

Kolb Kit, had received the plans and building manual prior to departing for

Lakeland.  When I got home my engine and several large boxes of material and

parts were waiting for me to pick up at the country store up the road. 



Anyone else heading to Lakeland this year?



Plan to arrive Lakeland Monday or Tuesday, weather permitting.  Will stay as

long as I can stand it.

a year ago a friend and I were looking into the commercial usefulness of the  club plane format to introduce people to aviation and familiarization to ultralite flying. 

our hope was to gather enough info to build a process that would allow pilots to utilize their plane - wether experimental, amateur  built or certified, to introduce people to flying. This could mean training use for cfi's, for ultralite pilots to gain experience before flying alone, or for people to just get a ride in a cool looking plane at a pancake breakfast. 

 my friend mark has become a CFI and started a flying club in a exp challenger.last year I had 11 paying club members. a lot of people have contacted me about my fly for fun club. i am still building a data base of  info on flying clubs and  am willing to share this with anyone wanting to learn how to start one. 

I will be at sun fun all week and can be found in the old ultralite headqurters  tent in Paradise  city's new sport plane area

Don't know if my old MKIII would stand another tornado or not.  Don't want

to find out.



Hopefully, we will have great weather.

I hope to fly up on Thursday and stay thru Saturday morning.

If the weather isn't right, I will drive up. Not sure if I'll camp at

LAL or S. Lakeland.

For anyone interested March 21-25 At the Wauchula, Florida Muncipal Airport is the Annual Bensen Days Spring homebuilt rotorcraft Fly-in. Wauchula is about 35 minutes south of Lakeland down US-17. It is more of a family atmosphere type of gathering. Come see the latest in Gyros and experimental helicopters. Camping and food is offered at the airport. A lot of guys camp at Wauchula and attend SunFun. It's a big event for the rotorcraft crowd and people will be there from all over the world. If you ever thought of flying rotorcraft it is worth the trip. Thanks
