Jim S/Folks:



You are an inspiration to us younger flyers.  Hope I am

still as active flying my Kolb if and when I reach your age.

 

Still waiting on my exhaust system to be delivered from

Titan Aircraft.  New carb boots and spark plugs are on the

shelf waiting for installation.  Need to replace some rivets

in the rudder T.  Big tail wheels, hours, and rough fields,

take their toll on equipment.  Can't complain though, with

nearly 3200 hours on the old gal.  Another month and it will

be time to head West to the Rock House Fly In.  Hopefully,

we will have better weather for a cross country flight than

we did last year in May.

Just started covering a firefly today. I'm a newbie at it so it's going to take awhile but hopefully another kolb will be in the Michigan sky later this summer. Bought one of the last 447's for power. Sounds like there are enough Kolbs in Michigan for a get together sometime. Keep me in mind. I'm in Howard City 40 min north of Grand Rapids. Before I try to fly mine, I'm going to need a ride from somebody since I don't have any Kolb experience. CES308 in Houghton lake said he might be able to but it was last year when I mentioned it. Haven't talked to him again yet.

I'm looking forward to flying up the muskegon River. The scenery is great here. Lake Michigan may be within my reach. I fly out of Grant (01c)
