    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "David Paule" <dpaule@frii.com> I forgot to mention that there's a generous radius under the head of the bolt. You MUST use countersunk washers to accomodate this. Otherwise you'll drive yourself nuts waiting and listening for that "Bling!" sound that the bolt head makes when it comes off.

There are many pages and quite a few explanations covering most of the comments mailed to them. I'v gotta say that it is a bit tough to make sense of when I am trying to see how my plane will be covered in the new rules. The grandfathering is obvious, but runs out in about 4 years if I read it correctly.

    --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Dave & Eve Pelletier" <pelletier@cableone.net> Jim & Dondi, Y'know, I'm in the process of re-covering my MK III. A couple of years ago I repainted my Firestar. I'm a real novice at this and needed a lot of help. I got it from your staff. EVERY time I called I got real good advice and the person on the phone didn't act like I was intruding on anything and just stayed on the line 'till I completely got the help I needed. You've got a great bunch of folks that are very customer-oriented. I certainly recommend you guys to everyone. Thanks for the great service.

    Subject: LSA rules
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: Charles & Meredith Blackwell <wozani@optonline.net> Many thanks to John Williamson for taking the time to answer some questions off line for me on the new rule. I feel lucky that he has a good grasp of FAA speak and some working knowledge of what they are saying in the new rule. I will take his advice and make sure my MKII is registered correctly with one of the ultralight organizations and my BFI papers are also finished before Sept. 1, 2004. That will give me at least 3 years to figure out how to get everything else taken care of. I would suggest everyone else at least do that minimal bit to buy time to comply with the new rules. In the meantime I will re-read the rules that I downloaded from the USUA website. Thanks for everyone who is talking about and trying to understand these rules, with lots of opinions we have a chance of getting it right. Charlie, MKII in NJ do not archive
