Hi Chris M/Gang:
Notice, this post is addressed to Chris and everyone else on the Kolb
List.
Sorry, but I have to disagree with you. This is the Kolb
builders/flyers list. It is Kolb specific now, and was prior to my
membership 8+ years ago. Matte Dralle's guidelines, which he posts to
the List monthly, are located here. Take a minute and "really" read
and try to understand them before you make your next post:
http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?t 240
They are clear, concise, and are the "commandments" that Kolb List
members have used to keep this List one of the best on the internet.
We don't have List Monitors, Hall Monitors, are whatever else you want
to call them. We are "self policing". To me, that means I take time
to read Matte's guidance and try to live by his desires. If folks
keep disregarding Matte's guidance, then.......it is up to someone to
step up and remind that person of the correct procedure for being a
member of this List.
If someone does not want to comply with Matte Dralle's guidance for
the Kolb List, then he probably does not belong here.
I try to share what little bit I have learned building and flying
Kolbs with the List. However, it is a waste of time wading through a
lot of extraneous crap in order to get to something that is "really"
Kolb related.
The Kolb List has slipped somewhat in the recent past, probably
because folks aren't reading and abiding by the guidelines.
Of specific importance is to insure the subject reflects what we are
discussing, which helps us search the archives for info.
It is also important to cut previous posts, keeping a few lines of it
to insure continuity in the discussion. Takes a moment to cut a msg,
rather than regurgitate what has been previously posted.
Folks, I am as guilty as anyone else of breaking these commandments.
At times, I forget to change the subject line, send replies before I
type something, and all the other "uh ohs" that are made on this List.
Let's all try to make this List work the way it was intended, and the
way it has operated in the past.
I do not believe anyone is nit picking because they expect the List to
operate as prescribed. Jumping on John W, or anyone else, who
supports Matte's guidelines, is a waste of time and just might be
categorized as nit picking.
Thanks,
john h

I agree Mr. Hauck. This list is such a part of many of our lives that we post anything and everything because we want to share it with our friends on the list. That is only natural. When John W. reminded the list that we are getting a bit off topic, it was the right thing to do. I enjoyed the sound clip when I first got it from a friend over a year ago. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been sent this same clip multiple times. Consequently, my reaction was the same as John W's.
What I found surprising was how personal the responses were to a simple admonition to keep things Kolb related. John W. is many things, but "self righteous" and SOB are not among them.
Is it the weather? We usually don't see this kind of banter 'til February when everyone gets cabin fever and feeling pissy.

|
|
Hi Mike:
Nothing flies like my old mkIII. 
The little photo was taken by John W at this year's Kolb Homecoming.
This is the factory FSII that Dick Rayhill flies at Lakeland and Oshkosh. Since my mkIII was "powerless", I was also airplaneless at London.
The FSII flies like all the Kolbs, GREAT! Roll rate is more than adquate. I had a good time flying and demonstrating it. The winds were cooking out of the south, about 90 degrees to the Labhart Field airstrip. All the Kolbs that flew during the Homecoming demonstrated the excellent flying and handling qualities of our little airplanes. John W, Steven G, James T, and I flew as often as we could during the weekend, whenever the rain would let us.
Was a lot of fun flying a Kolb that weighed much less than Miss P'fer. Need to talk to her about that weight.
