John,
I believe you should be concerned about your total empty weight being accurate.
If it's not accurate, the CG position is probably not correct.
I don't think you can build a Firestar with a 503 that light - even a 5 rib wing
version. The Firefly (designed to make part 103 limit) with a 447 and minimum
instruments just makes the 255 lb. figure.
Are you putting us on?

For those who are interested I found a single page mounting instruction
sheet that I got at Oshkosh for the BRS VLS chute for the MK III Xtra. I now
have it scanned into a JPG and can send to who ever needs it. Just reply to

tour photos url for listFellow Kolbers:
My flying club recently had an event in which we flew around the so-called Thumb
of Michigan. I've placed a selection of pictures taken during the day on this
website:
http://www.staliteaviation.com/mi_thumb_tour_05
The site is primitive, i.e., there is no navigation, you just click a picture to
see it, then use the Back button to continue browsing.
The folders with people names represent pictures of the Kolbs owned by those men
and who went on the tour. Three of these men, Al Bumhoffer, Mark Gray, and me,
are participants on the List. The Misc folder is a collection of photos of
all kinds of aircraft, people, scenery, and so forth that give, I hope, a general
flavor of the day.
