Robert,
Manufacture - SteelMasters www.steelmasterbuildings.com (but there are several competitors with similar structures)
Many sizes available, mine is the "A" style 46' long 30' wide.
Cost for basic building kit (all arches, back wall, nuts and bolts) $5500
A slab is not required, but I chose to build one. And will finish with a standard
stud front wall. Has been a real joy to work on, very precisely made!

Mike, your messages about the new hangar are getting me all anxious to get
mine up, too. Now if I can just find a cement contractor. As my aussie
buddies say, "Good on ya, mate." Can't wait to get started and give my Kolb
a nice secure home for tornado season.

Guys,
Just have to boast. I took and passed my Sport Pilot Practical
(flight test) today in an Aeronca Champ. At long last I am a Sport
Pilot.
Although the Skies are clear, the air was rough and about 26Kts at
altitude, I sure am glad the examiner to it into consideration, every
time I looked at the winds aloft forecast it changed so my cross country
was hard to figure but even that worked out OK.
So how is this Kolb related. Well my Ultrastar has been sitting in
the hanger for three months while I flew the Champ to get ready for the
SP test. I sure am looking forward to the next day it gets up to 50
degrees so I can get back to the low and slow relaxing flying that I
love so much.
Of course if it stays cold I can get some air time in the champ.

Subject: Kolb-List: Ultrastar Information
I am looking for anyone that owns or has owned an Ultrastar. I just
bought one that was recently completed and I am looking for any reports
or problems with this design. Also looking for info on handling and
areas to watch as far as this plane is concerned. The plane has about 2
hours of test flight, and the local pilots that flew it have some
knowledge, but looking for everything I can on this unit, as it is not
my intention to die flying ultralights!!

See what came from our `deregulation` talks - "foot launched
paramotorhangliders"
evolved into what we generally refer to as "Ultralights". It will
never happen again in a
million years.....if the FAA could have seen it coming. Most of us
here have been illegal
for the last 20 years - I know I have.
Like the "Cowboys" of the old west, just a "one time thing".
I think they're just trying to round up the mustangs here for the last time.
Glad I was there while it lasted.
My grand kids will say "You used to do what!!!"

Dan,
Way to go!! Glad you got that out of the way. Looking forward to
flying with you again, maybe to Homer's again next year. Now get back
to the a real ultralight, not the Champ.
I'll be contacting you later about another Lancaster/Lebanon County
Ultralight breakfast after the New Year,
Terry - FireFly #95

Rick,
Concrete guys... they must be the unsung millionaires of today! Took 3 months
to get my slab done (which only took two days time once they started), and so
far now only 4 days on the building (including the scrubbing time to clean panels
i stored improperly for the past 10 years!). Gee, had it all worked out,
less than a week total time!
When you get ready to start, and have any questions feel free to ask. The first
building i helped put up we knew very little about "how" to do what the simple
construction details called for. We got that one up in just a few days, but
what i learned from that experience has paid great dividends on this new building
in ease and saving time.
You will love it when its finished! Gonna make a great home for your Kolb!

PS: I know this is not of interest to most, but kept it on the list because its
an open invitation to anyone that is working on a simiular building to contact
for suggestions and my experiences. Hope that does not offend anyone. Thanks!
