Robert,
This is uncle Craig's nephew...Milo. Wow, what a neat and clean gap
seal, it's this kind of stuff that I love about this list. Reading your
previous post I imagined what you were describing, but to see the
pictures in the last post....WOW, I really like it and think it's very
cleaver!
Uncle Craig's gap seal took many man hours to engineer and build. At
times I wish the "fancy" would have been "simple" and we would be flying
much sooner.
On another note: I finally named my Firestar II plane. The official
name is "Iditarod". Some folks at MV heard the reason for the name.
Kinda crazy story, but over the years as I would erect the plane in
front of the house, people all over would stop and ask questions about
the project. Uncle Craig and would laugh afterwards on some of the
comments such as, "what is that, a helicopter"? Or "what is that, a wet
sub"? OR my favorite and most unique question to me personally, "what
is that, a dog sled?" I thought, Dog sled? My knees went weak, and I
held back the outburst, and had fun with the question and nodded "yes,
it's my Iditarod sled I'm preparing for this winter"....... There was a
few other questions about where I keep the huskies, here in Arizona or
elsewhere??????? The following day- I shared this experience with uncle
Craig and we couldn't stop laughing- A fully enclosed Iditarod sled
designed and made the hottest desert in North America......so there you
have it... Good times, that is what this Kolb family has given me.
Currently test flying uncle Craigs plane, mine soon to follow.
Take care,
Tim Gherkins
