Re: Well, I pranged the Kolb
Blame Cosner for my landings .. he was an early CFI of mine. Daryl, you never met Mike - he has a spot in the museum hangar for his Comanche?
YIKES!! ? Glad to hear you are okay¡that gear did strike me as a bit on the frail side when I took a close look.

Re: Well, I pranged the Kolb

Thanks for your offer - and for your help with this project.?
