| Subject: | Firestar for sale |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: " Joel Reed" <jfreed@dejazzd.com>
Hello I have decided to sell my 84 Firestar and get a two seater Kolb of some
kind.
1984 Kolb Firestar
hourmeter incidates 160 hours.
Rotax 377
two blade IVO prop
airspeed incidator
alimeter
dual egt & cht
tach
fuel gauge
BRS (pass repack date)
brakes.
5 gallon fuel tank (also has extra on board 5 gallons for 10 gallon combined,
easliy removed to make it FAR 103 legal.)
The plane is in good overall shape, it still runs strong. Flies, runs, and
performs great. It would not pass a beauty contest but it would make someone
a great beginner plane. I fly it at least once a week. I have it posted on
Barnstormers. asking $5500.00 or best offer. Located in south east Pennsylvania.
Happy flying
Joel

It's not a Kolb, but I went through the same thing right up to the day
the
plane went into the paint shop last week. See
http://www.ultrafunairsports.com/titanpaint.htm for some of my crazy paint
ideas.
No, I didn't design them. Most of them are actually custom paint jobs
on
Harley tanks. If you look closely, you can see the filler neck on some. I
used Photoshop and cut out the insides of a Titan line drawing. I then
pasted the paint job on a layer and moved it behind the line drawing.

Help,
I have been using a sigtronics transcom II portable intercom since 1997 in my
Mk 3 and have had it repaired three times. If any has an intercom (portable)
that he likes and is reasonable , please give me a recommendation.

if the flaps pull down in flight then why do i have to apply considerable force
to pull the flaps down? my flap handel has a small bit of play when in the
up position. and while sitting on the ground the handle is against the bottom
stop... when in the air the handel is against the top stop...
now i am guessing that if the flalps were reflexed up considerable that may be
true. but if riged as to the factory plans... they should be forced upward
by the air movement.... now i saw that someone had mentioned the scaloping of
the bottom of the wing as a cause.... i sugest that if you have that much slack
in the wing bottom fabric, that you did not get the iron warm enough to properly
taunt the fabric.

Hi Gary,
Follow-up clarification on the squares from my last email:
Cut out a bunch of squares from some kind of masking paper. Make these
a little smaller than the actual square size. You can use cheaper
regular masking tape to tape these paper squares on top of the
perimeter tape above. Now all of what will be the yellow squares is
masked off with paper in the middle and good edge tape along the edges.
Before painting, run your fingernail around the
The regular masking tape edges should be back just a little from the
outside edge of the good quality tape edges.
BTW, I also used this tape to do the star and the stripes along the
side of my plane. I also blended paint on the stripes so that they
start out metallic silver next to the star and gradually change to full
dark blue (no silver) by the back of the stripes. I just added a
little more blue to the touch up gun's paint pot till near the back
when I made sure it was only blue. This pic,
http://mae.ucdavis.edu/ransom/BensAlbum/1997/cows1.html and
unfortunately this one
http://mae.ucdavis.edu/ransom/BensAlbum/jun99/spring99g.html show this
part of my paint scheme. I will repeat it on the rebuild paint job as
it will bring back my plane as the friend I remember it to be. :)

Chuck,
I use a Headsets Inc. kit but I'm not sure of the model.
At any rate, I've been very, very, pleased with the performance.

I have a Sigtronics Transcom I bought in 1985 and used for instrument
training - at the time few planes were equipped with intercoms and I used
the audio out to tape the dual instruction - it was a good way to review the
flight and radio work. Anyway, I hadn't used it in ten years or more and
when I hooked it up in the Kolb, the squelch knob was a little loose and I
couldn't get it to squelch in the Kolb cockpit. I sent it back to
Sigtronics and ordered the high noise version upgrade at the same time - $20
for the upgrade and $7 to fix the squelch pot and $5 shipping. It works
great now - with the 912 at 5000 rpm and the squelch about half way the vox
works perfectly. Sure can't complain about the service. I'm sorry to hear
yours needed frequent repair. I guess mine had about 60 hours on it and ten
or twelve years on the shelf before it had a problem. Not so bad.

Ya, I put them in my D Clarks. Having been using them for about 50 hrs. The
other day the battery went down while flying and this noise like the engine
coming apart startled me but all appeared well. Then I realized that the ANR
was not working.
I love them!!

Joe/Duncan/Gang:
I have been using a Sigtronics SPA400 since the MK
III was built, 11 years. A couple years ago got
it updated to a SPA400N for high noise
environment. Works good. No problems.

I just bought the sig. spo20 hn. It has a feature that you can plug in a
cd player for those long trips. I have found that the music is a bit low to
enjoy, but the intercom is just great. It has a sidetone that allows you to
hear yourself when you are talking to the tower. That means a lot to me. I
never could get over not hearing myself talk. The Mark III that I just
bought had a intercom of some GA type that was just terrible, you couldn't
hear each other at more than 4800 rpm's. I plugged in the sigtronics and the
relief was immediate.

Boyd/Gang:
Flew my MK III for the first time in almost two
months,late this afternoon. Flap controls were a
little stiff, like me, from sitting without use,
but when released from the clean position that
drop to about halfway between clean and first
notch which is about 10 deg. They do not fly up,
but down aprx'ly 10 deg.

I'll let you check out the tauntness of the fabric
on the bottom of my wings when I get to Monument
Valley. I have never flown a Kolb that did not
push the fabric up into a concave shape. When in
flight, and I heat shrink all my fabric to the
max, the bottom fabric will depress. If it
depresses it is concave.
Hard wing cover is the only way to get a flat
bottom wing.
