Being from Minnesota and flying without an enclosed cockpit, the secret to staying warm is dressing in layers. This traps air between the clothing layers and insulates the body. Keeping the body warm will keep the hands and feet warm. Here's what I put on when going flying in sub freezing temperatures: Over the underwear with jeans, wear a long thermal underwear shirt then a summer T-shirt (usually the Kolb), then a thick sweatshirt, a windbreaker (Kolb), outer winter snow pants and jacket (Columbia). On the feet wear two pairs of socks then wool socks and insulated snow boots. For the hands, ordinary insulated ski gloves are the best. A good snowmobile suit with thermal underwear would be another option. I was flying off the frozen lakes the day after Christmas and was plenty warm in temperatures that were about 25F. I was so warm that I was sweating at times.

Any problems at all? I met an aviator who has a Jabiru in a Titan and he complained about over heating.

But still its worth asking if a more cleaner design has any over heat problems, in a pusher configuration. ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 09:49:22 AM PST US From: bob n Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Cold weather gear for hands --> Kolb-List message posted by: bob n I have to have a lot of hand protection since my hands are getting peripheral neuritis as well as Raynauds Phenomenen (just means hands get very cold at even 60F) so I use a combination of heavy sno-mo gloves after first putting on thin silk(?) fairly tight-fitting inner gloves. They look like black silk hose, but help (me) a lot. When I was at Thule AFB in early '50s, we had double gloves and mittens and huge white felt boots, called Mickey Mouse boots--only good for dry snow.

This link is just one supplier of such grip. With these grips on a snowmobile I cannot run them in high, it's just to hot, I run in low all the time. In an enclosed Kolb they would work great and will work on 12 volt dc, or can be connected directly to the engine lighting coil. Check it out at http://www.denniskirk.com/powervendor/details/detail.asp?serverid=nlSnow&Par tNo=391079 Or you can go to this site http://www.jrgraham.com and order a parts and accessories catalog for snowmobiles, they have a very good universal grip heater that goes under your existing grip. There price for that model is $23.95 and it will do two grips. Unfortunately you can't order off of this site at this time. Maybe in the future, for now you'll have to settle for ordering a catalog then call your order in. Good luck Guy Swenson Flying heaterless in MN Brrrrrrrr.

Harley Davidson offers a heated vest,gloves,pants and socks. I have not tried the system myself but a bro of mine bought one and says it works great! Has a thermostat to control the amount of heat you want and the whole thing is a thin inner liner type. I have seen him blast past me with temps in the 20's (and that's cold for this part of the country) and smile and ride on. Works off the bike battery.

I don't like the way the digital zooms so an optical would be better. Here is a picture I took today of Raul's FireStar. http://www.members.aol.com/uguribe/pic01.jpg AOL users click here Most of the time I reduce the size of the pictures so people with slow connections don't take all day to download but I didn't reduce this picture so you can see how nice they come out with my Olympus C-700 digital camera. As far as posting pictures to the list you can send them to matronics photo share and he will post them to the list for you. http://www.matronics.com/photoshare/ Regards, Will Uribe El Paso, TX FireStar II N4GU C-172 N2506U http://home.elp.rr.com/airplane/ do not archive ________________________________ Message 29 ____________________________________ Time: 09:33:19 PM PST US From: WillUribe@aol.com Subject: Re: Kolb-List: FSII Seat belts --> Kolb-List message posted by: WillUribe@aol.com Does anyone know if the front and rear seatbelt harness are exactly the same for the FireStar II ? Ron Laklew Hi Ron, I have two different seatbelts for the front and the back. Both have the same lap belt that ties to the cage on the landing gear sockets. The shoulder harness for the rear passenger is an upside-down Y which attached to the fuselage tube. My harness (The pilots harness) is attached to some cables and the cables are attached to the wing bolts with tangs. This help the passenger get in and out easier without getting tangled up with the front seat belt.
