Hi George,
Nice to be appreciated. I suppose that if we had lost the B of B there
wouldn`t have been any point in you coming in.
Without a Western front to worry about the Germans would probably have
rolled up the Russians.
You wouldn`t have known anything about it until the panzers came across the
Bering Strait and down through Alaska.
What a scenario!
Cheers

To All:
I have the BRS 500 that I removed from Duane the Plane's Firefly. I had it
repacked at the factory last month and it is still in the box. The original
rocket has a little over 2 years left on the ten year rating. Duane made his own
mount configuration which is simpler and lighter than the factory mount. I
upgraded to the 750 model because of the added weight of the floats on my
Firefly. I would like to get $800 out of it. A new rocket is $450, so even if you
go
that route it is still half the price of a new one. Please contact me on the
List, First come, First serve
BRS, Don't go anywhere without it

Steve, I am very interested in your BRS. My question to you and the list
is: will the 500 be adequate for my original Firestar with a 377 and me
at 200 lbs. My second question is where are you located. You can not
ship it UPS so I would need to drive and pick it up.

The BRS 500 is designed to lower up to 500lbs at an acceptable rate. The guys
at BRS told me that I could have used it in my application but the decent
would be faster. In other words, they say it wont break at slightly higher loads
but the touchdown will be harder. I would figure your total gross flying
weight( You, da plane, fuel). If you are at 500lbs you should be fine. If you are
over, call BRS and they should be able to tell you the increase in decent rate.
As for shipping, the chute pack itself can be shipped regular UPS, The
rocket requires a $50 Hazmat fee. You should consider whether or not you want to
go
to a new one or not. Also, This is the soft pack that fits over you head,
under the gap seal.

Hi Steve,
You might want to check that shipping again. I've sold a couple BRS chutes,
including one recently, and there is no legal way for you to ship the
rocket, unless you are certified to pack and ship this type of explosives.
Cheers,
Rusty

No problem!! Tell Alan to come ahead, the more the merrier!! I was

Steve,
I would also be interested in the chute if Dwight isn't able to use
it. Wish I had known you were interested in parting with it when we
dealt with the wing strut fairings.
Terry - Firefly #95
Haven't had time to install the fairings yet, but have studied the
situation and have a plan. Will let you know when I do get them installed.

Hi Rusty, You might be right, I have not done so since 911. In the past I
have shipped model rocket motors and other such things but as we all know times
change. I will check with UPS. However in this case it may not be a good value
since the motor only has a couple of good years left. The $450 from BRS as I
recall includes the shipping and may be abetter overall value.
Thanks
steve

Rusty/All, I contacted both UPS and FedX. Anyone can ship acceptable
hazardous stuff as long as the packing meets federal guidlines. The catch is that
you
have to go to a 2 day seminar to be certified. They tell me that it is not a
big deal, but it must be done. So for the situation where you only want to one
item one time it would not be worth it.
thanks for the question, and thank you Osama.

When replacing plugs, do you remove the plug ring when using a sensor
between the plug and the head. searched the archives but only found a
question and no answer.
Would be good and helpful if at the end of out post where the signature is
that every one put their location if only the state,********** just a

I'm not guru by any stretch of the imagination, but when putting the sensors in
place, if I leave the ring in, I have a LOT of trouble making sure the sensor
doesn't turn, so I typically leave them out. I guess some of the guru's have
figured out how to make sure they don't turn when tightening the plug, but I'm
tooo stupid.

Have heard pros & cons. The biggest problem would be if leaving the gasket
off causes the tip of the plug to be extended into the head far enough to
accumulate a thickness of carbon, and then the next time you took the plug
out, damages the threads in the head.
Next time you have a head off, put the plug in without the gasket but with
the sensor ring and see if the plug end extends past the head surface. If
it does, then I would keep the gasket on.

Got almost 640 hours on a 503 dual carb. I change the plugs at least every
30 hours (probably
too often since I use the expensive plugs). I take the rings off where the
sensors go.
Tighten down to 240 In lbs. Still runs like new.

No flames, Mike. I've read the same thing in several places. It's supposed
to give more accurate head temps with it under a bolt. It's hotter under a
plug. Lar.

A few misc details -- there used to be quite a few "breezy's" that flew
just fine. FYI they were a set of wings from a Cub or Champ, and
tail-feathers, ditto. Then a skeleton of welded-up 4130, whatever
engine was available, mounted as a pusher, and no covering anywhere
except for wings & tailfeathers. Usually not even a windscreen. Flew
like a (slow) dream, lots of fun, but you learned to keep your mouth
shut in case of flies, bugs, etc. Used to be reasonably common, but
haven't seen many in recent years.
In re the humungous "grizzly bear". A very excting and alarming story
-- but it set off my radar & raised a bunch of flags -- and I don't
believe a word of it. The "Alaskan newspaper" wasn't identified, nor
the "US Forest Service employee" who shot it. And the height of 14 feet
is WAY larger than any Alaskan Brown bear -- believed to be the largest
carnivore on the planet.
No. No way I'll believe this. An entertaining, scary, impressive,
memorable BS story. That I'll believe.
I haven't seen any of the pictures, but I have seen what Photoshop can
do.
Sorry, but I don't buy this for a nanosecond.

I was in Missouri in 2003, on Table Rock Lake, right near the Arkansas
border, and caught this Breezy flying by:

He looked like he was having fun! It had the distinctive sound of a
Lycoming engine when it flew by.

Jimmy,
The instructions that came with my Westack probe said to leave the washer
out.

I looked at your picture and noticed the aileron/elevator controls
attach to the stick very differently than mine. I have a goofy sideways
universal joint, which seems designed to fatigue the bolt that controls
the ailerons. I have been trying to come up with a better configuration,
like yours. I have to use a lot of force on the stick in gusty weather
and my 15" old style ailerons are hard to push against.
Is this a change by Kolb, or your own design?

If you will look at my website - http://homepage.mac.com/gene1930/
PhotoAlbum2.html , you will view the simple elevator trim system that
I have been using on my Firefly for about 3 years. The photos show
two springs from Lowes but I added a 3rd one after these photos were
taken. The system does eliminate the forward or back stick pressure
