My "Merry Dawn" Kolb Mark II has a new home in Thomaston, Georgia.  She is in good hands as there is a good group of builders and flyers there who will probably spruce her up a little.  As you can see in this picture the new owner (in the blue shirt) is very happy with his purchase.



Now I am just a lurker, but I hope, maybe in another 15 years or perhaps sooner, to return as a Kolb Owner once again.  



Thanks to everyone who has helped me in this forum.  I've made some good friends here.  If you ever fly into Waycross, Georgia, give me a ring!



Thanks Merry Dawn for a great 5 years and some wonderful, awesome flights and some good learning experiences!  I will miss you girl!

Cristal -

Selling Merry Dawn must be heartbreaking. I hope that you are able to be a Kolb owner again MUCH sooner than 15 years!

And don't lurk on this forum - share with us some of the "wonderful, awesome flights and good learning experiences" you've had. 

Doesn't matter if they're in the past - they'll be new to us when you tell us about them.

Do all Kolbs use the same airfoil? What's the airfoil on the MkIII?

Thank you Arty. It was a tough decision.  I will keep in touch!

I heard from them today.  They really enjoyed their flight from Waycross to Thomaston, Georgia yesterday.  The buyer is already planning several upgrades.  That makes me happy.  Merry Dawn was in need of some nice little "tweaks" here and there, but I didn't have the time or the resources to do it.



I called her Merry Dawn because I flew her mostly at dawn and it made me very happy (merry).

My "Merry Dawn" Kolb Mark II has a new  

Cristal Waters

 



Cristal W/Kolber:



That is sad news indeed.  Hopefully you will not have to

wait 15 years for your next Kolb.  I know how much you

enjoyed your airplane.



Because of Homer Kolb and his airplanes, I have been able to

meet and make many new friends, Cristal included.



Was just on the phone with Larry Cottrell as I was pulling

my double rig between Wendover, UT, and Wells, NV.  Told him

I wished I had my MKIII now instead of the 5th wheel.  If I

did, I'd just fly right over those mountains to the Rock

House.  Straight line distance from here at Wells, is about

190 sm.  By road it is about 115 sm further.



Cooler weather and better flying conditions are right around

the corner.



Don't forget the Kolb Homecoming in November.  I plan to fly

my MKIII up to London, KY.  Hope all of you Kolbers will

also be able to attend.  Would be great to have some of the

old members of the Kolb List that I haven't had a chance to

meet and who have never made a Kolb Homecoming, make this

one.

On Behalf Of pcking

  

Do all Kolbs use the same airfoil? What's the airfoil on the

MkIII? 



pcking/Kolbers:



Yes, all the airfoils are the same.



MKIII airfoil is the same as all the other models, Homer

Kolb's.
