My Fuel tank and radiator (full sise rad in front of eng.) both vent out of
the small gap where the rear of the cage meets the boom tube. Has worked well
for 7 yrs now.

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Airgriff2@aol.com
My MK3 runs great with the 618 but in the last few flights it seems to have
developed a buzzing or whining sound at full throttle. As I level off and
throttle back, as soon as I come below 5900 rpm it dissapears. Probably prop noise
but I hav'nt changed anything and it never made this sound in 7 yrs? We all
know how as pilots that we are very sensitive to any change in sounds.
Thanks for any feed back.
Fly Safe

I have scanned in the weight and balance instructions and figures from
the Firestar KX/KXP manual. It's on my web site in the interest of
safety for those of you without the original documentation. I do not
know if this is the same wt and bal as for the original Firestar.

We went out this morning to Dungeness, WA, and pulled the crab pots; then had a huge feed of crabs. What Fun ! ! ! That'll be on the next web page. I built a web page on the adventures with Larry Cottrell in Klamath Falls, OR. Here's the address: www.webpictures.homestead.com/klamathfalls.html

--> Kolb-List message posted by: SR3SA2L1@aol.com
Hi All,
WANTED - ANY CONDITION - ALL OR PART:
I'm building a toy to encourage "The Kid" to take more interest in aviation
and tools. She will build on "A Real Kolb, just like Dads!".
1) I need a Firestar firewall forward cockpit frame (at least that much - the
rest of the cage is okay but not necessary). With or without nose cone (with
is better, in any condition, all or part). With or without rudder pedals or
joystick, etc., but with any part is better.
Does not need to be useable or straight - any year, condition or color is
fine. Rust is fine, dents are fine, holes are fine, cuts are fine, no fabric is
fine, fabric is fine, ugly is fine, no seat is fine. Just about anything is
fine as long as it is the front half of the kind used on the early Firestar. It
is okay if it is from a crashed plane as long as nobody died in the wreck
(yes, I am serious about that one - God told me I already have enough Karma debt
to force most industrial nations into bankruptcy and I don't want to push the
issue seeing whereas I do have to call upon "Her" for special favors now and
then).
I need the kind used on the early (late 80s to early 90s) Firestars - or
roughly same shape and size cage from any other single seat year or model Kolb
that has the forward slanting (triangle shaped) sides. Slingshot and Firefly I
think used the same shape and size cockpit sides.
Please contact me off list if you know of one.
Thanks,
Steve

Hey Lar
When do you think you will hit the Detroit area?
I have some Mk111 time booked for you. Might also have the club plane
do its maiden voyage on Sunday. Only 2 years to build that one. I'm slowin
down in my old age.

Kolbers,
Today I performed a massive Triple play.
First I took my first ride in a Vans aircraft, a beautiful 0320 powered RV-8,
the control response was beyond belief and the owner did a few turns at what was
probably around 3 Gs, what a trip, also got to see what a 200mph low pass feels
like, and experienced the RV grin that is still on my face to this moment.
WOW !.
Second, I finally completed my BFR in a 152, got about an hour in there.
And third but not least, drum roll please, ,,,,,,,,,,,,, at or around 8:30pm tonight
I took N616DR up on her maiden flight!!!!!. All went extremely well did
four circuits of the field, only could get 5600rpm WOT level flight so I'll have
to take a little bite out of the Powerfin. Temps were all great and trim
was near perfect, (she needed just a tiny bit of forward pressure).
Many thanks to everyone who helped on this list along the way, especially Terry
Swartz for his advice on the phone this morning concerning landing characteristics,
she landed exactly how he described, flew it to the ground with one notch
of flaps, pulled the power and she parked herself right now, no float whatsoever.
All and all it seems like a really solid plane and had a familiar feel to it right
from the word go, no surprises at all.
If weather allows I'll be back at it Monday evening and should have more numbers
after that.
Sincerely,
Denny Rowe
Mk-3 N616DR Leechburg PA 2SI 690L-70, 2.65 - 1 reduction, 68 inch F model Powerfin,
Gull Doors, tons of fun.

Should be there right around the 1st week of August, and I'm looking forward
to it. Sounds like I've been shanghai-ed to Oshkosh, so should be right
after that. What a great trip so far. GoGittin Lar
