As many of you know, words just can't adequately explain the rush of
excitement you get on a maiden flight. I still have the grin on my face and
it's starting to hurt. I feel like the Joker from the Batman movie. It's
such a pleasant relief to have gotten this flight under my belt. I owe a lot
of thanks to the list for helping me during the construction phase. And
there's those I need to thank who didn't do anything other than to make
their web site available for the Kolb wannabees and list lurkers. I was one
for almost 6 years until I took the big plunge and boy what an adventure
it's been. As with all lists of thanks, you take a chance of forgetting
someone when you list them individually but I'll do my best and start with
those who inspired me and kept me motivated as a lurker:

Hang in there Steve, I was on track for the eye to come over me at
Hernando Count airport. My MK111Xtra would not have survived the storm
because I have a shade hanger down there. When it made that turn to the East
I did not know how lucky I was at the time but it saved us over here. I wish
you the best in getting cleaned up over there.

Hey Guys,
I'm filling out the "NEW" W/B sheet...Oh, I found out what "Tare" is....it's
the weight of the chocks and blocks that are used on the scale to steady
the aircraft...
Anyway, I'm down to answering my last question...
Is the "MAC" on the Firestar II - 61 ?
After I turn in this W/B sheet, I'll be lining up my Airworthiness inspection.
I still have to get my Transponder checked and "certified" $175.00... and get
some insurance.
1 MAC please,

Kolbers:
Looks like Airport Manatee got by with a near miss last evening... The Firefly
trailer shifted around a little, but the chassis tiedowns held...
The storm turned about 2 hours prior to hitting the Bay... center of the track
just clipped the extreme southeast corner of Manatee county, opposite the airport
which is at the northwest corner... winds on the airport were only about 35
to 45 mph and blowing offshore, so Tampa Bay did not come in to flood the airport...
Not so lucky further south 2 counties... Heavy damage at a number of airports...
most notably Charlotte County / Punta Gorda airport...destroyed hangars, stacked
up airplanes... also Polk County adjacent to us on the east...Lake Wales
and Wachula airports had serious damage... Will be interesting to see what happens
to insurance rates...
Many thanks to those of you who sent notes of concern...

Hi Rick/Gang:
Thanks for the pics of your flight to OSH. I particularly enjoyed the
pics of Mackinac Bridge and the low level flight into the UL airstrip
at OSH. Sure missed being there and landing with you all this year.
Extremely happy your redrive problem caused only an inconvenience,
rather than the alternatives.
Good luck getting the redrive and the VW powered MKIII back into the
air.
I am still struggling through Mastercard receipts and attempts to
reorganize my personal admin tasks. Amazing how much stuff can happen
when one is away from the books for 48 days. No sweat, when I finish
the books, then it is outside into the unmerciful heat to cut knee and
waste high grass and weeds, just for a starter. Was more fun on the
fly..................
Take care,
john h

Yep, "This Side Up" & to distiguish me from the other yellow FS II at our
field.
Actually, my buddy, Chuck Reinert, who planned all the art work, picked the
colors which are the opposite of the Navy's Blue Angels. Apparently, some WW
II Corsairs had a similar arrow.
Some of what you can't see on the website include airbrushed art on the nose

Beauford and Steve,
So very thankful to hear that ya'll survived and that your planes are still
in one piece too. Does anyone know of others on the Kolb list that lives in
this area of Florida? I haven't looked at the news yet today, but knowing
that it was a category 4 hurricane I know that there is major damage where
it went onshore and some miles inland. My prayers go out to all of those
folks. Living 35 miles inland on the Mississippi Gulf Coast and working on
the coast, I am very aware of the aftermath these storms leave. We were very
fortunate here to have a cool front move in that pushed the storms away from
our area. Not very often we get low 60 degree temps in August. The really
bad part is it's not over yet. There are more depressions out there now and
who knows what they will do or where they will end up going. God bless all
of you.
Take Care,
John Cooley

Congrats James. And your right about the Kolb list. It is a great thing and
full of great people that's willing to help. I remember being really pumped
up about building a Firestar after finding Ben Ransom's web site and reading
his flying stories. And of course John Hauck's Ms Pfer, I saw it on a video
from the old Kolb and thought that is a great looking airplane. Since then
there have been many more that I have admired, some of which you mentioned
and they just keep giving and giving. Anytime someone needs help or ask for
advice these folks are willing to help out. Keep up the good work and fly
safe.
Later,
John Cooley

--> Kolb-List message posted by: Jack & Louise Hart <jbhart@ldd.net>
FireFlyers,
With full shoulder belts, I could not reach the flaperon knob. I modified
the existing lever so that the knob is relocated in a position to correct
the problem.
You can see the mod on the bottom of:
http://www.thirdshift.com/jack/firefly/firefly21.html
Today I flew up to Ste. Genevieve for a little grass strip flyin along the
Mississippi River. Could not stay long, and as I was waited for runway
access, four Kolbs touched down right in front of me. Quite a
sight.

Jokers:
Let's get a Gummint Grant fer the engines, and then use it to tow
BigLar's Lawn Ornament to next Sun 'n Fun. Seriously(?), if you could
get that sucker in a 90 bank, you could race it. OK, maybe need a bit
of wing, BUTT great possibilities.

I just got back from a fantastic flight!! My Himax flying buddy and myself left
our home base just north of Chisholm MN to visit a friend that fly's a Preceptor
pup. He's about 30 miles SE of us. We left at about 6:00 pm so the air wasn't
quite as rough as it was in the afternoon. At about 1500 agl the bumps smoothed
out and flight was a non event till we got to Zim. When we dropped to 500'
it was just a rockin and a rollin. All the way there we had a 15 mph wind from
the west and the gusts now were coming directly from the south. Needless to
say, The landing really I mean really kept you on your toes. We BS'ed for a
while and all three of us took off. Cruised around the Zim area for a short time
because it was getting late. The Zim area is allot of fun for us. It's all
flat farm land with a few trees. North of Chisholm is Trees and more trees. The
wind from the west never did let up so we didn't make it back to home base till
8:45 Thank god we both have strobes. That was probably the best flight of
the summer so far.
