It is at http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/mweather.html You can readily set it up to fetch the reports from the stations you choose, and make it display values in any format you choose. (meters, feet, celsius, centegrade, etc.) Richard Pike MKIII N420P (420ldPoops) ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:50:56 AM PST US From: "Paul Petty" Subject: Kolb-List: fly in --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Paul Petty" Kolbers, Due to unforeseen problems I will not be able to attend the factory fly in. I was really looking forward to it. Please take photos and let me know how it goes. Hopefully next year Charley and I will be there in Ms. Dixie. Also thanks for the replies to the fire star question. Fly safe and have a good time.

There are 3 different Firestars, the "original", the KX/KXP, and the Firestar I/II. Each of the 3 have a different fuselage. The first two are no longer manufactured. The number of ribs has been covered in other posts.

Wednesday night will be spent at Wetumpka, AL. Plan to leave 08A before 0900 hours on Thursday with pit stops at Rome, GA (RMG) at about 1030 hours and at Rockwood, TN (RKW) at about 1300 hours. We should have a flight of three Kolbs and arrive at 3KY2 about 1530 hours. If you can join us on the way, Great! If not, then we will see you at the Fly-In/Drive-In.

However, if you're talking about talking to someone else in 1) The same aircraft, 2) In another aircraft or 3) Possibly someone on the ground, that's another whole matter altogether. I personally like the tin cans with a taught string to communicate with my student pilots, but I have had some problems with this method conversing with the airport unicom traffic. As long as I stay in a circular pattern above the field I have had great success talking to persons on the ground. It's that air to air stuff I haven't been able to master. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I set up a dealership for products from three of these. I will be bringing them to the TNK Flyin to test out. I plan to give away a few as door prizes. I will let the hard core Kolb drivers tell me what they like best. You would be able to buy them from me or other sources. I plan to offer a special discount to Kolblist types. I will post results after the show. Again you won't have to buy them from me there are other sources but I will try to find the best option that everyone likes and share the info.
