Possums,
Was it you who posted a Youtube video flying down a picturesque river with some classy background music?? I saw it in the era when the video where you were chasing ducks was posted.
Reason I ask is I have a friend, Jim, who is a pilot for Continental (and won this year's Iron Butt Motorcycle Rally - 12,700 miles in 11 days!!) and I'm trying to whet his appetite for a Kolb. That was one of the best videos of low and slow I've seen, and of course a Kolb is one of the best flyin' machines to do it in.
Hope you see this because I can't contact you off line. I just got a new computer and my primary success in transferring my email address book from my external hard drive to my new computer has been to frustrate myself. Woe is me! Genuine unadulterated concentrated woe.
Happy New Year to you and everyone on the list!

Hi Steve,
The FlagFly is a total blast. The airstrip where I have it was sold the first of the year. Butch, the previous owner, said it would remain an airstrip, but I haven't heard from the new owner yet. I'll attach a couple of pics flying down and over my house and back to the strip, where my dog is waiting in the pickup. Sent them to Don G., who built it, and he emailed back that looking out under those stars and stripes made him "giddy." I understand why; he did one heck of a fine job building it. The paint job alone is a labor of love!
Dave

That paint job is amazing. I really like it.

Speaking of the firefly, there is a vid on youtube of what looks to be the Kolb factory firefly flying at what I think is Sun-n-fun by (again I think) John H:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SFhiQRlGwA
It too has a nifty patriotic paint scheme.
I've lost count of how many batrillion times I've watched this vid.....

Lucien,
Just got to opening the list from the 15th. Thanks much for the link of
John taking off and landing the other FlagFly in heavy wind. I admire
his control. I've seen the video before and always wondered if there
was a reason he cut the power and then poured it on again, or was he
just playing. I'm going to bookmark the llink this time so I don't lose it.
Now, if anyone has the link to Possums flying along a lazy southern (I
think) river...
Best,

John, you sure had a handful with those wind conditions in a Firefly!
You handled it well ...

Thanks, Ralph:
Could not have done it without a good airplane.
The ultralight strip at Lakeland is notorious for difficult wind.
