Just got back from a day and a half at Sun-N-Fun. The weather was super, very unlike Florida for this time of the year. Highs in the mid 70s Friday and today. Last night froze my a.... off.
Brian and Helen had to leave for home a few days ago so it was a one man show at the kolb trailer.
I looked at the new break away tail wheel and I don't really understand how it works. It looks to me like you have to give it opposite lock to get it to release. In other words if you want it to go full swivel to the left you would apply the left brake and push on the right rudder to the stop. The design is simple and should be reliable just not sure how it works in practice. Please let us know how it really works. Has me scratching my head.
There is a beautiful customer Kolbra for sale in front of the Kolb trailer and sounds like they sold a completed Fire Star. Lots of activity. Not the same without John H there.

Rick N/Kolbers:
I miss being there. S&F has always been a special week for me. Met a lot of folks down there that I only get to see during the air show. First one I have missed since 1984.
Oh well, Miss P'fer is ready for the flight to the Rock House in Sep, VGs, brand new Odyssey PC-545, and all. The Odyssey battery that failed, was installed April 2007. I believe I got my money's worth, but I wish it had failed a few weeks earlier or a few weeks later.
