    Subject: 10K Club
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: Airgriff2@aol.com I have received a couple e-mails and it has been mentioned that flights above and beyond 10,000 ft. require a mode c transponder and we shouldn't discuss it. One can assume that a pilot may have had one on board the day they did the flight ? Or we can keep everyone down as achieving the altitude of 10,000 ft AGL PERIOD. I guess I'll keep it at 10,000ft. The certificates will state that the pilot has achieved flying his Kolb aircraft to an altitude gain of 10,000 feet above the ground. There also seems to be confusion on what AGL means? It means that when you looked out of your aircraft to the ground below, there was nothing between you and the ground but 10,000 ft of air. It does not mean 10,000 ft above sea level (MSL) Thanks fly safe Bob Griffin

    Subject: Old Kolb Kxx Kit & Rotax 503
    --> Kolb-List message posted by: jerb <ulflyer@verizon.net> Folks, A friend recently passed away. He had a Kolb pre 1993 Kxx (FireStar?) kit. He had all the parts but pulling them together might be challenge. If the main parts main parts could be pulled together like fuselage, tail boom all weldments, tubing, spars, pre-assembled ribs, gear legs, wheels & brakes, fuel tank, what would it be worth? He also had a Rotax 503 he purchased through LEAF. Can't get to it right now to determine if its a point or Ducati ignition, also what provision gear box. I don't think it had been run but can't determine it until it looked at. Having set for this long the engine should be gone over and new seals installed. I recall him saying some thing to the effect that LEAF had screwed him as it was suppose to have been a new engine but when he got it, he convinced it had been run. Having seen it in the past my gut feel it has been run for a short period, has point ignition, for now say it has one carbs, set up for premix no oil injection, and prov. 8 gear box. Would it be worth purchasing as a trade in to take advantage of the engine exchange being offered by Rotax or is it worth more just selling it straight out as is. jerb
