Gentlemen:
With help from some very good friends, I started the repairs on my airplane yesterday
evening. We were able to get the tail disassembled, the old boom removed,
and the new boom drilled. So we're well on the way.
Thanks again to everyone who offered advice and suggestions. Another good day of
work, possibly next weekend, and I should be back to flight status.

The Tailwind and Pietenpol lists begged and pleaded to have enclosures
enabled on the lists. I compromised and enabled jpg,gif,txt,xls,pdf,doc
filetypes. These are probably pretty safe, I suppose, from a virus
standpoint. To keep the Archives at a reasonable size, I still preclude
the enclosures from getting appended to the Archive.
I could enable enclosures on the Kolb-List too, but it will mean that the
messages will likely be filled with a lot of extra garbage as I am not able
to do the same kind of filtering that I can when enclosures are turned
off. This means that all of the ads and stuff that people's email
applications attach won't get filtered out.
Its up to you guys.......

Hey Guys,
I vote that we at least TRY IT....
Building is made alot simpler ,when you can click a couple of Digital pictures
of the problem and INSTANTLY show others the problem ,rather than trying to
explain the details...a picture is worth a thousand words......
Come on guys , Yea or Nay
Only question is, do we send the vote to Matt , Or to the "List"
My vote is LETS TRY IT !!!
Gotta Fly...
Mike in MN
PS I'll bet any "LIST" that has made the switch , doesn't want to go back....I
follow the Tailwind list (it's going to be my next plane) and I envy the way
they can instantly show a problem or a solution.

Matt,
What if you made your own file extension for attachments, like ATM or
something, and then you could still filter everything but that. You would
then only be able to include one pic type, say jpeg, but you could still
filter all the standard file attachments but your custom one. You could
have several that you dec0oded for gif and jpeg, but since they would be
different then standard you could filter all the others still...

I would go along with pics enabled IF, they were limited to jpg, sized down
voluntarily by the senders, and maybe limited to one per message.
You could excise them from the archives automatically. If anyone wanted
a copy they could do it for themselves. My opinion, worth every nickel.

Jimmy,
I fold my plane every time I fly and I do not use any spacers in the locations
you are asking about.

I saw a trailer today that was used for a Mk III. The trailer was big, with
lots of windage.
Since I have a large, lightweight sailboat, a 27' trimaran (i.e., no lead
keel) I'm familar with towing that size of trailer. Also, there's an email
forum for the boat that's discussed the matter extensively.
Here's the general requirements for your tow vehicle:
1. Wheelbase, at least 118 inches. More is better. Much better.
2. Tow vehicle weight, at least 4,000 pounds.
3. Power will be adequate with any reasonably popular vehicle that neets the
other two requirements.
4. The allowable trailer weight should be greater than what you're towing.
Don't take it to the limit.
5. You need the real towing package, from the factory, including the
transmission oil cooler.
Two examples that I've used successfully are a '97 Chevy Tahoe and a Toyota
Tundra. Vehicles in the Explorer, Cherokee, Tacoma, 4-Runner class are not
suitable. If all you're doing is taking it down a back road at 30 mph to the
airport, they'll work, but it's a close thing even there.
Incidentally, gasoline mileage drops in half towing the trailer. Not
kidding - I've seen 7 to 8 miles per gallon. I plan 120 miles between fuel
stops.
The main issues are control on the highway and in traffic situations. Having
semis pass can also be exciting. Crosswinds are, too.
When towing, I've found that keeping the speed below 65 mph is desirable.
Faster means less control. I can cruise all day long at 63 mph without
strain, but a highway emergency at 70 mph can be tricky.
Between 10% and 15% of the towed weight should be on the tongue, or you'll
have trouble with stability. Fixing that is the easiest way of alleviating
difficulty, once the tow vehicle is adequate.
Trailer braks are more problematic than they should be. Keep them in good
repair.
I live in Colorado. I've towed my boat to Florida and back twice, and
California once, in the three and a half years I've had it. And I have to
take the boat over the Continental Divide to put it in the water at Lake
Dillon. That means up long steep hills, and down long steep hills. The road
peaks out at about 11,600 feet or so.

The fuselage tube is 14' 6" long. The wing strut tubes are 6' long and
consist of 3 individual tubes plus the tangs. The landing gear legs have no
measurement. I believe they are pre drilled. If not I will go and measure
mine later.

Thanks to the various people who advised me that a Firestar with a 503 gives
acceptable performance up in Colorado, following my request for comments a
month ago.
Thanks to Gregg Waligroski, who actually has a Firestar in Colorado with the
503. Gregg showed me his and spent quite a while discussing it with me.
Afterwards, I chanced to browse Barnstormers.com, and came across Ed
Babovec's Firestar. Ed's was local and for sale, and I bought it.
Please understand that seeing Gregg's and buying Ed's took place in a two
week period. And that I wasn't seriously interested when I first contacted
Gregg. So this was sort of an impulse purchase.
One thing that illustrates some of life's coincidences is that I'm currently
working a project at a certain company. I'm a contract employee there, for a
few months. As it turns out, Gregg works there too, on the same project.
However, he works in a different area, and I hadn't met him prior to
learning, from the archives, that he has a Firestar.
I haven't flown the Firestar yet. I need to do a weight and balance and
tweak a couple small things first. Also, I need to finish my transition
training from a larger airplane first. Incidentally, the tweaking is
honestly small: Ed flew the plane to the airport I use for me.
Thanks, everyone!

| Subject: | FSII in a Tee-Hangar |
--> Kolb-List message posted by: "David Paule" <dpaule@frii.com>
The FSII, folded, fits nicely in a tee-hangar alongside a Cessna. The FSII
is against the back and a side wall in the narrow part of the tee, facing
forward. The FSII cockpit is just beneath the Cessna's wing. The folded FSII
wings are clear of the Cessna's tail.
The Cessna has to be careful when the flaps are coming down in the hangar,
as they can interfere with the FSII windshield - careful positioning gives
good clearance, but be careful.
Watch out for the prop if you've a 3-blade prop.
Put the FSII in first, then the Cessna. Move the Cessna out to get the FSII
in or out.
This should give some of you a chance to keep your FSII in a hangar at low
cost.

Any suggestions for a cover for a folded FSII?
How about just for the cockpit and engine area?
Thanks!
