Kolbers,
I had 10FR at the Watsonville fly-in and airshow last weekend. We were part
of an official act in FAA waivered airspace doing flour bomb drops and spot
landings.
My wife, 8 months pregnant flew along as co-pilot and bombadier. The winds
were gusting in a strong crosswind (of course).
Sadly, we lost the "bomb the outhouse dressed up like usama bin laden"
contest to a helicopter, but we won the spot landing contest by a landslide
(no helicopters for that one).
What was really nice to see was that afterwards there was so much interest
in this little airplane that the announcer had just described as "unusual."
About 5 different Kolb builders followed us back to parking and we stood and
talked for a 1/2 hour or so afterwards.
I'm continually impressed by the great community we Kolbers have.
