Guys,
My regulator has puked on my 447 Rotax. There are 2 regulators listed in the
book. One requires a 1 amp load and the other no load. Which is best? Thanks!

I am in the process of restoring a tired firestar. It needs to have the
wings recovered since they are over 15 years old and the original builder
failed to silvercoat before spraying the final coat of paint. I do not have
the construction instructions and am having to sorta "wing it" on the how
and what to do. Does anyone know how much fabric and related materials
(rivets, tape etc) is required for two complete wings only. If anyone has
an old set of instructions that are no longer needed I would be interested
in purchasing them from you. Thanks, George Murphy

Jim,
It was good to meet you and talk about Kolb's. You made a great choice
and I know you will be happy with your Mark III Extra.
Now for the fun part, building! Hope you take and post pictures of your
project as you proceed towards completion.
My wife, Pat says hello and says she enjoyed meeting and talking with
you.

Hi All,
I had computer problems for a while and have been on and off with the Kolb
List for what seems like a long time. I believe (translation = "it is my
illusion") that I have a grip on the machines once again. I had offered to send
plans for ? (builders plans, ski maybe?) to several people and now I do not
recall if I got them all out before the machines outsmarted me and broke.
Are any of you waiting on any copies of plans from me? If so, sorry for the
delay. Contact me off list and I will get them out ASAP.
Steve

Snuffy/All:
Now you know how I felt when I dropped in
unannounced and found no one at home.
Naw........just kiddin'.
Was a great spot to camp and plenty of mosquitoes.
However, they were very gentle biters. By the
time next door company left, I was in my cozy
little tent, in the dark, eating my MRE.
Speaking of camping, and the heavy thunderstorms
and rain storms we had at Oshkosh this year.
First, they were refreshing, afternoon, night and
the very early morning variety. We got them every
day. Of the four of us in tents, five counting
Lloyd with the pretty little Kit Fox, none of us
had any problems with wind or water in our tents.
Todays technology for tents, sleeping bags, and
air mattresses is super. Not a drop of water did
I get in my tent.
Take care,
john h

Well gentlemen - I'm new to the list - A good friend has gottem me involved with
the "Kolb Thing" as he calls it. His is an older firefly, and hasn't been
off the ground in two years. The fuel system was a mess, so we went through the
whole thing - engine and all. We've both taxi tested it and we'll be putting
it in the air on the next calm day we have off. We're in Virginia - so lately
the weather hasn't been conducive to test flights, thunderstorms predicted
every day for about the last 10. I have alot of GA experience and about 20 flights
in an Aventura UL - any tips for my transition. I have talked to many
Kolb fliers and they all tell me to throttle it to the ground and no problem -
then today a fella - who flies Thundergulls told me they ground loop easily and
to be careful. Never heard this before but thought I'd poll the masses.

Wouldn't it seem that the people flying Kolbs know much more about flying
them than a person flying a ThunderGull. Listen to the people that fly
Kolbs. Do you have a FireFly or FireStar?

The fella got it all wrong , what he ment to say was Thundergull pilots
tend to "Fall on the ground" when they get looped. Does not have anything
to do with Kolbs.

I forwarded your questions to Jim and Dondi Miller of Aircraft Technical
Support, they are flat out the best folks in the business of covering

Kirk,
If you have electric start the 1 amp load unit will work fine across your
battery, if you do not have a heafty battery, go with the no load unit.

Wow - less than 24 hours on this list and I have already been fascinated -
It turns out that it isn't a firestar but an Ultrastar. Cuyuna engine below
the wing... Does that change any answers? Thanks guys! Dave

I came slow close to coming home the night you were here too. We had arrived
at my girlfriends house that evening from Canada and I was going to head
home from there ( about 50 miles) but she talked me into staying there the
night instead. I got home about noon the next day ( saturday). Which wasn't
long after you had left. Mosquitoes do get bad here but none of those really
nasty ones like we had in Nam. One of those darn near kilt me in 69. Glad
you felt comfortable here. If you're ever here again or any of the group
stop here for the night and I'm not here, the little travel trailer is
always unlocked and feel free to use it. It has a heater and cookstove in
it. Water is available on the house outdoor faucets also. Latrine is back
in the pines. Kirk

Right.
The latrine was the easiest facility to find in
your campground.
BTW: I landed to the west and took off to the
west. Plenty room for all kinds of air ops.

I have a newly restored 1986 Kolb Twinstar that flies just great. Somehow
thru some wheeling and dealing I came into possession of a pair of Puddle
Jumper amphib floats and am wondering if anyone has ever installed them on a
Kolb and how they worked.
