I looked at that airstrip at Green Lake with next year in mind. Beautiful
place, about 1/2 mile from my friends' place. I don't regret OSH at
all. While at Niagara Falls the other day, I walked about 1-2 miles, and in
and out of the truck a few times. My left knee quit on me, and I've been
in agony for 2 days now. Miserable. Then too, the crowds at Niagara just
about drove me nuts. Can't handle it any more. I'm glad you guys
enjoyed it, but it's not for the Lar. I AM sorry about Iron
Mountain.................would've liked to seen you.

Some people out there, including me, would argue that the original Firestars
were the best-flying of all the Kolb models. The original Firestars are
still out there flying and doing what Kolbs do best.

Hi Gang,
Decided to junk my GPS 12 after it lead me astray. I asked around at our Eaa
Chapter meeting and several recommended the above. I checked Ebay and you can
buy one for $226.00. You can also call JA Air at 1-800-323-5966 and have one
shipped with the power card for $229.00 thru UPS. You could also bed on one and
probably get it cheaper. Go to Lorance site and you can down load the manual
free.

Tom --
I've had one for a couple of years, and I'm _very_ happy with it. The
screen is small, but it's sharpness almost makes up for that. The features
-- particularly the aviaiton-specific features -- are top-notch. You
should enjoy it!

Guys,
Another great but cheap ($200) GPS is the Magellan Meridian series. I
have the Gold model and it's not only easy to use, but has the whole map
of the US stored in it's memory along with all the airports. The mapping
feature shows what's under me as I'm flying along.
The screen is bigger than most of them with better resolution showing
cities/towns, airports, highways, RR tracks, lakes, and points of
interest.
A CD can be ordered for finer detail of city and residential streets or
topographical maps.
Batteries last 14 hours and can plug into a 9-35 volt external power
source. I use a 9.5vdc external rechargeable battery with the internal
"AA" batteries as a backup.
I love it and the price is right.

Hello Ralph I've recently purchased a older Firestar I (about 89) with
approx. 200 hrs. I am looking at adding a full enclosure before winter. If
you have any suggestions or advice please let me know and send me a picture
of your bird if you have one. I am attaching one of mine. Fly safe and have
fun.

I'm finally back from Oshkosh. I wanted to leave Monday morning early but
was delayed till almost airshow time by fog. I then got caught in school
craft county for most of the day on Tuesday by fog. Wednesday also fogged me
in Gaylord till almost 11AM. Then there was a big thunder storm that sat
over my runway most of the evening on Wednesday so I landed at a nearby
strip and retrieved my plane this morning.
I flew 20.2 hours from Grand Ledge Michigan to Oshkosh and back. There were
two times I had to back track or divert due to weather for a total of
120miles. I burned 81.5 gallons for a average fuel burn of 4.03 gallons per
hour. The VW ran super the whole way without skipping a beat even over
Beaver Island.
The trip was wonderful. The flight from Iron Mountain to Oshkosh was a
experience that I will NEVER forget. I flew with three other Kolbs and a
Kitfox the 120 miles on a morning that was perfectly smooth. We dropped down
to 300 AGL for approach to Oshkosh and blasted in at 75mph single file. I
was forth in line watching John Hawk then John Williamson then Scott Trash
ahead of me bouncing around in each other's wake for a fly by of the
Ultralight strip and then in for a landing. Wow what a blast. My face really
did hurt from a ear to ear grin. Thank you Scott for hosting the get to
gether at you place in what really is gods country. And thanks to everyone I
flew with for a super experience.

Rick/Gang:
Glad to hear you got back home safely and had a
good flight home. Was beginning to worry a little
cause you hadn't posted anything to the Kolb List.
Thank goodness I got out Sunday afternoon, 1400,
and really lucked out on the weather all the way
back to Alabama.
I am looking forward to another flight as good as
this last one.
Take care,

For my radio setup, which performs very well, I got all the parts from CPS (California Power Systems, www.800-airwolf.com). The Ultra-com headsets are comfortable and quiet, the Ultra-com II intercom is both battery powered and can be connected to the plane power supply. I got a comtronics patch cord with push to talk switch that performs well. The catalog has a list of radios that they work with (looks like over 70 choices). I use it with a Vertex standard pro V radio for good results. Only change I plan on is the shielded spark plug covers and maybe wires if needed.
Much of my flying is near or into busy airports. Last thing anyone needs is more
complaints of ultralights not communicating in the pattern. Seems like there
are enough places we are not welcome already.
