      OK to do your weight and balance put plane in the flying attitude with no 
      fuel or people aboard and a scale under each wheel Left Main, Right Main,& Tail
      
      Wheel record these weights then hang a plumb bob line even with the very front
      
      of the nose cone and call that your Datum line and measure and record from 
      that line to the center of your tail wheel ,mains ,fuel ,pilot ,passenger 
      ,parachute
      
      The CG of a person is at the front of the stomach (navel)
      
      add your total weights together 
      add your total Datum measurments together this is your arm
      weight times arm equals Moment 
      Weight devied by moment equals CG in inches 
      
      this should tell you where your CG is but I am not sure where it should be on 
      a firestar 11 maybe someone else on the list can tell you the window of your 
      model 
      I hope this helps you

      Ellery,  Thanks for the response.  I have done W & B on other planes but I 
      did not know where the datum point was that was established by Kolb.  I got 
      the  window percentages for the Firestar II from another member on the list. 
        Now I can get busy.
      
      Thanks again
      Galen

        We welded in the new Gear socket on the Firestar 2, that my buddy =
      bought down in Tulsa with a broken leg.See you don't have to shoot them =
      when they break a leg :) Only caught the fabric on fire once. He decided =
      to recover the fusalage after finding some of the tubes rusty under the =
      fabric ,also because it was covered in aerthane vs polytone which is =
      alot easier to patch. The org. builder must not have use expoy primer =
      because when you pulled the fabric off all the paint would come off the =
      tubing down to bare metal.That or bad metal prep.On other projects that =
      I have had to recover that used Stits epoxy primer the glue joint failed =
      before the primer would.
             So I can get back to covering my Classic Have all the flying =
      surfaces & fusalage up through taping will start covering the wings =

      Just an update on how my nose Skid Hoop performs...
      
      http://wingsforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=174
      
       It's been called a "monster".....But it works EXACTLY like it's supposed 
      
      to.... I'm at a new field, and it doesn't have a flat spot on it....
      
       I Taxi'd to the hanger...after I stopped I tried to get it a little closer....
      
       Up came the tail....It's came up before , but just slightly....This time
      
      it touched the Hoop.....The hoop stopped it before the tail was very high
      
      and when the tail came down, it didn't make you cringe because it didn't
      
      hit that hard.....My Nose cone, Strobe & pitot never touched the ground.
      
      
        I was going to keep it on during a "training period".....I might just
      
       leave it on....
      
      
       Yep, got a new home for my bird...Got 3 runways ( crossing each other)
      
       And it's One GIANT , BUMPY , BOWL
      
       Also , Cheap hanger space $45 Folded , otherwise $90 month

      Their is "no" minumum pilot weight....but there's a CG range that needs
      
      to be right.....Lighter the pilot....More weight in the nose.....
      
       "I" weight 200 lbs , "I" have 16lbs of dead weight in the nose....to get my
      
      CG in the "front half " of the CG RANGE
      
       I'll move my Batt some day so I can get rid of "dead weight"
      
        I sent the Weight & balance figures to the list for you....

      This spring I removed the last 15# bar of lead from the nose of my 
      MkIII.
      I will now be able to use the vacant chamber for drug smuggling.
      With zero trim on the little springy gadget, the plane is neutral at 
      cruise
      and slightly nose high with reduced power.  -not enough to change 
      anything.
      Now to coax my lady friend into the right seat.  A couple notches should
      take care of her 120#.
      I'll placard the plane with a "no fat chicks" sign.

      Hi John,
                  I don't really know , I've never flown without it.....It's pretty skinny....I
      wouldn't think at these speeds that it would effect anything...
          I was thinking I could make a better looking one, getting the same clearance
      but stretching it forward....I've seen some pictures of other peoples like that....
      
        I've lifted the tail too many times not to have "something" up there....
      
      Gotta Fly...

      Was at a flyin about 10 years ago in SE NY state when an Original FS showed up
      with skid protection on his nose pod.    Picture attached.  Bet he didn't have
      to add weight to the nose to meet his CG.

      Bob/Gang:
      
      My mkIII is neutral in pitch trim with power off.  Bring up the power 
      and nose up forced trim is required.  All of the mkIII's I have flown 
      trim out about the same.
      
      A lot of pitch change can be made by adjusting the leading edge of the 
      horizontal stabilizer up and down.  For my mkIII, once I found the 
      sweet spot, I have not changed the position.  Even after installing an 
      11 lb Maule Tundra Tailwheel, Miss P'fer still needs nose up trim for 
      cruise, and during power off, she rides pretty much tail low.
      
      Never added weight to nose or tail to bring the numbers on the weight 
      and balance together.  I figure weight and balance is done in a static 
      situation.  In flight, a lot of things are changing on Kolbs.  As long 
      as mine flies well, stalls nose first, has plenty of control 
      authority, both pitch up and down, I am happy.
      
      Two up in mkIII's normally requires a lot of nose of pitch with power 
      on, and little or no nose up pitch, power off.  Most of my flying is 
      solo, which I prefer.  Airplane performs much better without the extra 
      load up front.
      
      Loaded for long cross country flights, 150 lbs of fuel and 125 lbs of 
      gear are stowed behind the bulk head.  A small amount finds it way to 
      the left seat, behind the left seat, and about half a dozen MRE's go 
      up in the nose.  Takeoff weight is very close to 1,200 lbs.  She flew 
      well with the 582, 912ul and now with the 912uls.  A great little 
      airplane that continues to satisfy my flying requirements.  Still 
      haven't found anything to replace her with.

      In the picture on eBay, it appeared that there are 14 full ribs, plus the
      two root ribs.  I asked the seller which it was.  His answer was that it
      could be either.  The sellers response to an earlier question about the
      difference between the FS I and FS II wings (drag strut, etc...) implied
      that it was a FS I.  Make sure you know before you buy.

      Well, I know what the problem is. I am so surprised that all you expert engine
      and Kolbers didn't pick it up real quick. One trip to view his photo's gave me
      the answer..."CHEAP CIGARS"!  Yep, that's it, cheap cigars. Kolbs deserve and
      rightly expect quality in fuel, pilot, Oil, and flying fields. Why would they
      or should they expect "CHEAP CIGARS"? 
      
      And most times we oblige them. But a cheap cigar? Unacceptable! Beauford, You change
      your cigars to something of quality and that thing will run like it was
      designed to do. And you can take that to the bank!  Now as for adjustable wrenches
      ..........
      
      You just need to know where to look!

      Bill, 
      
      I have to agree with you. I used to be in Astronomy and of course, the last thing
      we wanted was clouds. Clouds are fliers friends because the let us know what
      the movement of air is way up. Last week I was at my instructors field and the
      clouds were going in two directions. And where they me was shear. Later in
      the day, no clouds and the air was stable. I have been loking up and watching
      the clouds a great deal more since I got into flying than any time before. The
      weatherman doesn't have anything on us fliers!

      Well, thanks to the kind heart of John Jung, I now have a pair of DRE-2000  headsets.
      Even at list of $ 129 they would be a good deal. But John did me a deal
      and I had an opertunity to use them on Saturday. To me they hear great. The mic
      picks-up real well and the hear-yerself aspect is great. The noise limiting
      is really good and the earcovering was comfortable. The mic stays near our lips
      and the cords flex well. I don't know how much better it could have gotten.
      thank you John. I would love to get a radio in as good of a deal as the headset
      was.
      
      As I examined the internet to see what John was offering me, $ 129.00 was the Best
      price out there. As a matter of interest, I went to the DRE web site and talked
      with them. They indicated that the DRE-2000 was no longer being made. Nothing
      wrong with them just too much of a mix. They offered me a DRE-4000 for $
      20.00 off the $ 149.00 price. If anyone would be interested, go to their site
      call them on the phone and ask for the deal.
      
      Now I hear ya here in Ohio, Ralph!

      Hi Ralph,
                    Your bird is the one I've seen with the hoop sorta stretched
      
       Forward.... But it looks like the nose would hit at the same time...?
      
       it's unlikely that a wheel is needed up there....when the tail goes up, it's 
      
      usually stopped or very slow....
      
          Gotta Fly...
      Mike in MN / N381PM
      
      PS MUD flaps....? keeps the mud off the wings ?  When I was going thru
      
      my tailwheel endorsement, the Aeronca that I was flying would sling it
      
      all over the wings and tail ....the ground was soggy from snow melt...
