Robert,
Great idea doing the spreadsheet on Kolb pilot ages. Would it be possible to do one with engine / gearbox / AC type / fuel burn / performance / hours on our Kolbs?
Darren, Central MI, age 49, FS1, 325 hours, Hirth 2702 (40hp) 2.29:1 gear ratio, 64" warp drive (at)09 degrees, 2.3 gal/ hour average, 55mph cruise.

You know, if you guys want to do polls, at least use some of the free
technology around!
I've set this up -- took me about 3 minutes... MUCH easier to see what the
poll is about, it self-organizes, and self-reports.

Since this forum has been such a remarkable source of mostly useful
information and I'd like very much for it to continue for a very long time,
I'm curious to know if there are a good number of youngster Kolbers coming
along to gradually replace aging oldster Kolbers. So, if you don't mind,
please respond with your age. If this gets enough response I'll compile and
post the results.
I am only 61 so I hope to have lots more flying years ahead of me.

That's easily done! But, as they say, you can lead a horse to water...
I'll try to have something available by the end of the day.

Gilding the lily a bit isn`t it? What about propellers? you could have a separate column for make/lenglh/number of blades/, pitch,. ground adj/ air adj.Wooden/fibreglass, how many bolts....
The age thing is of some use as it perhaps gives a wake up call that we do not have enough youngsters coming along to sustain growth. If I was building Kolbs I would be very interested and adjust the advertising accordingly.
Is it really worth the work involved to know that someone, somewhere is getting better fuel burn than me. i am not going to rush out and start tearing carbs to pieces on that basis. All information is interesting of course but in varying degrees and it must reflect the work involved in collecting and collating it.
Its like having 64 options on your watch. Not because you need them but because `its nice to have`
Sorry, must go now. I see by my watch that the surfs up in Hawaii.
Cheers
Pat
