Hi Folks:
We have had a lot of windy days here in SE Oregon. This morning dawned calm and clear.
First landing blew the left brake line out of the caliper fitting. Luckily it was at the Rock House.
Already got it fixed except for bleeding the brake. Soon as Roger H gets back from flying we'll get that done and be back in the air.
Got folks here from Australia, Hawaii, Alabama, Texas, Oregon, Utah, Louisiana, and Arizona. Despite the windy days, we have had a great time visiting with old and new friends.
John Galprin, the VG man is from Australia, touring the US with a Fire Fly and a converted Airstream trailer. We have enjoyed John and his stories and photos of flying agressive cross country flights all over the Land Down Under.
Wish all of you could fly out and join us here.

Well, Roger H got back from flying, but did not have a little hand pump oil can and 1/8" tubing to bleed the brakes. So...we scrounged up enough stuff to do the job anyhow. For a pump we used the quart ATF plastic oil bottle which we squeezed by hand hard enough to force fluid upstream. Found a gear lube bottle cap with spout to stick the tubing on. Went from 1/4" ID fuel line to 1/8" line to match up bottle to bleed valve. Read to go flying.
We have Kolb Fire Fly, FS's, MKIII, Murphy Rebel, Grumman Chetah, Titan Tornado, RV7 and a Talon (Maxair clone).
Us Kolb folks get along with everyone.
