The weather looks good tomorrow for the Wauchula Fly-In. If nothing changes I will fly there tomorrow. Is anyone else planning to attend?

Rick and other Florida folks:
Just got off the phone with Brother Alexander... He allows that he intends to go tomorrow...
as will I, if nothing falls off my machine this afternoon... George said that there were
several other airplanes from the Venice area and one from Waumauma likely to go as well...
Wauchula could be a right busy place tomorrow...
The Blues are flying here at the MacDill AFB Airfest tomorrow.... mebbe we could get them
to divert for 3 minutes and make a low pass at Wauchula just to agitate the UL traffic pattern...

Gary I wish I was flying up to Wachula also. I am replacing the windshield in mine being it broke returning from Arcadia. I liked your center gap seal to the windshield that I made a mold and laying up the fiber glass now. Now that the mold has been pulled I can replace the windshield and a couple other mod's I'll see you all soon again. I plan to fly up to Sun-Fun....Ross

Hi, Guys,
Sorry I wasn't able to attend the Wachula fly-in. I also incurred some damage returning from Arcadia. Nothing like a close encounter with a wood stork, (heard a lot of stories about bird incidents there...). More like a ground event.
It was blowing 15 and gusting to 20 when I landed at Pompano, and no Kolbs were harmed in the process. However, when I was folding up the plane my luck ran out. After removing the main pin in the right wing and just beginning to lift it from the tip for the folding-back part, a gust took it right out of my hands. It pivoted up and over, held by the U-joint, and landed upside down, forward part on the main fuselage tube and the wingtip on the ground. The first two false ribs were pushed in about 1/2 to 3/4 inch about 8 inches back from the leading edge, and the last rib was also pushed in about the same amount. Got some rash on the fabric over the ribs too.
Talked to Travis, who offered to send me a new U-joint if I felt there was potential for having overstressed the joint, but he said they're nearly bullet proof, and it looks perfect. I'm going to have the A&P look at it and the rib deflection to see if it passes aerodynamic muster. Will also plan to attend the fabric seminar at Sun&Fun.
Alas, not flying till we get the annual, with a preliminary check by the A&P on Tuesday. Guess I've joined the "stupid Kolb tricks" club.
Looks like we'll probably drive to S&F. See ya'll there.
Dave
