So, I like saw one these Kolbs, and it's like made out of paper or something.   Are they really safe?  I mean the one I saw had a mexikan (overweight) in it and hard as I tried, there wasn't an ICE agent to be found!  My plane is made out of metal     I'm going to fly up to Monument valley the same week as you girly men, and show you what a real plane can do!

The kolb is a stronger plane than you think and dam sure is not made out of paper there the best little planes you could get compared to any other of its class  if you had done your home work you would have realized this before you made a donkey's behind  out of your self

Dave, yeah I used paper to cover mine instead of that dacron stuff. It seems to work pretty good considering I've been flying so long. Am I a "girly guy" or just plain stubborn?

No Ralph, you have earned your status as a true Kolb (alpha male) pilot.  Would like to see you make MV some time.  How runs the rotax?  Do Jim and Dondi still provide the dacron for Kolb kits?  I wish I had another one, but I can always steal Will's in a pinch.  I'm building a Mosquito XE this year, a small helicopter.  With any luck, (or perhaps a lot) I'll be bringing it to MV next year.

Best regards,

Dave

If You have never heard of me you must not have been on the list to  long or just not paying attention, I dont just fly around the patch I live on the other end of the country,  so..... No.... I wont be going to MV because my little paper airplane  will fall apart if I run into rain somewhere along the way

Try Wal*Mart shopping bag material and waterproof glue.  Works great, 

is water resistant, and extremely light weight.

Hi Ellery,

  

 Dave sold his FireStar to a guy from Mexico and now flys a tin  can. When ever he flys my FireStar he regrets ever selling his to  the Mexican. The tightwad finally got Roadrunner so he is back on the  list after a long absents and is just messing with the new list members.   

 Check out this webpage for our first flight to Monument Valley in July  2001.

I assume you're talking to this Larry, Paul, but I'm not sure what you mean.  Wish I could've joined you at SnF.                         Lar.                        Do not Archive.

Yeah Will, got to mess with the natives.  For all the list members who don't know me, I do have a few hours in the Firestar, quite a few, many hundreds, perhaps more!  I have a deep respect for the design, as I've used it both for work and pleasure, and in all weather, (except I don't do no ice!).  Now, what's the count for MV this year?  I just know big Lar is flying Vamoose in, right?    Looking forward to seeing old friends and doing some good flying.  I intend to give a lot of free rides to the local kids.  

Dave.

No, but Paul, every post from you  - Outlook Express puts it in my "Deleted 

Items" folder, no matter how I try and configure it not to. Not saying it's 

you, but since the topic has come up...

funny, but Ralph ends up there for me. I have tried everything that I know 

of but he is still "SPAM" to my computer. I had a dog once that was a good 

judge of character, not sure whether to believe my computer though.

Something that may be a factor is that I'm still fooling around with Gmail for biglar email, and have been too lazy to get around to making the new settings.  If I reply to a message, then delete the original message, it seems like gmail may be shortcircuiting the whole thing somehow.  If I just go back to Inbox, seems like all is OK.  Gotta get offa my dead duff - this gmail is a real PITA.   I replied to this thread earlier, and don't see my reply in the sequence.  This time, I'll leave the original in the inbox and see what happens.                       Lar.                 Do not Archive.
