Do you have to pay also??>> Hi there, very little experience in this field as I have never filed a flight plan. Not obligatory here unless crossing water or over the countries border, which is about the same thing. Nothing to stop you filing if you wish and if flying across some of the wilder parts of Wales or Scotland you may consider it prudent. I don`t think there is any charge. I have always flown from a farmers strip, non radio, and just phone the airfield I wish to land at for joining instructions, circuit height, Left or Right hand circuit, QFE. I had a radio in my glider but always turned the darned thing off as it intruded on my privacy. The exception is during the last year when flying the Eurostar, which was radio equipped, when I operated from a rather upmarket private strip which happened to be inside a Military Control Zone. This meant getting radio permission to take off and exit the Zone and the reverse upon return.There was no charge. Usually airfields merely have a landing charge which varies from 2 to 7 which is the most I have ever paid. Sounds as though Canada is an expensive place to operate.

Myers Jr." Subject: Kolb-List: Twinstar Documentation --> Kolb-List message posted by: "George E. Myers Jr." Hello Kolb owners, My name is George and I have recently joined your esteemed ranks with the purchase of a Twinstar. What I can gather from searching the archives is it is a late 80's model. The uncertainty arises from the fact that no documentation came with it. None, zip, zilch! And other than a bent wing & broken axle it is in great shape. I plan on repairing the wing & recovering the entire plane but I need a construction manual, and a user manual if possible. If anybody out there has one I could beg, borrow, or purloin I would be forever grateful. Of course I would happily chip in the necessary bucks too. Thanks George E.

The Twinstar was a little before their time, but there's a chance they can still provide documentation. The SS I just purchased didn't come with any documentation either, and TNK was happy to provide a builders manual, and plans at a reasonable cost. In fact, they just arrived today. Cheers, Rusty
