John W,
There are a few Kolbers in Western New York that would probably like to
see you and your Kolbra if you come by this way.

"Bad news, folks. Pat Ladd just notified me that Goulding's Hotel in
Monument Valley is sold out for the weekend of May 17, 18, 19.
Larry Bourne"
Larry/All:
The Red Bull Schedule for 2007 has NOT been finalized and posted to
their web site as of a few minutes ago. They indicated it should be
posted in a few weeks.
http://www.redbullairrace.com/race2007.php
Previous races have always been held in large popular urban locations
where as many spectators as possible can be reached. Monument Valley
is just the opposite of all previous race locations.
Recommend we hold off until Red Bull finalizes their 2007 schedule
before we jump to conclusions to change the dates of the 2007
Unplanned/Unorganized Kolb Flyin Monument Valley.
This is a flyin. Those that flyin usually tent camp. Don't ever
remember having a problem locating a spot to set up my tent.
Take care,
john h

My guess is that no matter which date it's moved to,
there will be a problem for some. (As someone who
plans to fly from western Oregon, putting the fly-in
into April is a problem - it's usually raining!) And
moving it later into June - the heat! Last year we
flew mostly in the morning and evening due to the heat
- and it gets worse the further into summer it gets.
John W. suggested Kayenta as an alternative - what's
that like as a camping spot? And for those of us who
don't have wheels (except attached to our planes) -
can we walk to a store or restaurant?
John H. suggested we wait until the Red Bull races are
solidly confirmed - that makes sense to me. I know
this is supposed to be an unorganized (disorganized?)
fly-in - but I hope someone will track the Red Bull
Air Races so that as soon as possible a decision can
be made about when and where the MV event will occur.
Some of you are retired, but I need to clear my work
schedule. Larry Cottrell and I are planning on
flying to Texas and coming back via the MV Fly-In. So
we'll need to change our timing if the MV weekend
changes.

| Subject: | Firestar II - new owner in Henderson/Boulder City, NV |
Hi All,
I wanted to introduce myself and my new aircraft that I have yet to fly. I hope
to contribute to this forum in the future.
I just purchased a Kolb Firestar II in Needles, CA. a couple of days ago. The paperwork
I received shows it as FS 496? I may have the wrong number but it is
in the 400's I believe. I was told it was built in Phoenix, AZ circa 1996. It
has approx. 180 hours on the A&E. A Rotax 503 engine. I'm reading as many of these
posts as possible for future reference. Everything looks good with the exception
of the tail wheel which is worn down. I called Travis at Kolb and ordered
a new one for $25.
I'm a retired US Army Officer (CID). I had a private ticket 35+ years ago but have
not flown in as many years (I probably had 200 hours in the mid 70's). I'm
taking lessons from Don Wyatt in Boulder City, NV (Ultralight Flying Machines).
My plan is to get experience in Don's Quicksilver Sport and then transition
to the Firestar. I also will mention that ordered the King Sport Pilot DVD's
and hope to take the written test within the next week or so.
My Firestar is not "N" numbered so I also am focusing on getting that process started.

Happy new year all
I have re-installed the engine after the oil seal was replaced and put
the cowling on. We decided to started it up and do some tests before the
final inspection with the faa. The sound is defiantly different. Much
quieter. I decided to taxi and see how all the oil lines were doing and
get the temps up check the H2O system ect. Inspected everything, now
check it at higher rpm's-check the two ignitions it looks good, then
decided to do a fast taxi. WOW my heart pounding as I put the usual
power setting I have come accustom to and she leaped into the air 50 60
feet! I just wanted to taxi at 50 mph. I was trying to keep her just
above the runway and settle back to earth. But no she wanted in the air.
Me fighting her, trying to coax her back to the ground-but no-- like a
dolphin, up and down. The air speed was 70 no 80, pull the throttle back
Oh! She's coming down to fast. Put a little power in 60 man, the run way
is shrinking underneath me---time for power and get altitude and go
around. No doors 4850 rpm and I an indicating 90! I come around set up
the approach come across the fence at 65 hold err off hold err off,
power back a little---oh! Cross wind left aileron hold--- hold-- a
little-oh-bounce-- more power-ease it out-rudder -- and then settle to
the runway. MAN! I had such a grasp on the stick my arm now feels like
I've been to the gym. You may remember my post about air speed and could
not get over 60 mph. I did just a few hops and when we went to the dry
lake bead the oil seal .went out. So the time in the air has been
minimal. I'm surprised John H or some one did not spot my problem at MV.
No pitch! In the time we had spent on doing the repair from the 4th of
July incident I forgot where to pick the pitch with the protractor. We
had maybe 5 or 6 degrees only. I'm embarrassed to admit we did not look
for the proper procedure to pith the prop. John I put the X back on the
extra along with your pitch number as a starting point, using the
protractor at the tip of the blade This bird wants blue sky!!. A few
years ago the speed we saw was 80 mph with doors off. today 90 with
doors off and lower power settings with the cowling. The temps were
good, but today was a cool 70 degrees in Maricopa. It looks good.
Have lots of success this year in all you do, and happy flying!

hd89044,
A name would be real nice so we know what to call you!
If you had a Private Certificate 35 years ago, you still have it. Go to the FAR
and go thru the procedure to get a new copy of your certificate. There is no
reason for you to do anything with the Sport Pilot material other than for your
own use. If you have a Private SEL Certificate, the FAA won't issue or test
you for a Sport Pilot Land Airplane rating.
Go to a local CFI and get current with a Flight Review, "N" number your FireStar
and the whole world opens up to you.

| Subject: | McMASTER-CARR, OUTSTANDING SERVICE |
Some time ago, someone on the list mentioned McMaster-Carr as a good place
to purchase industrial hardware. Well, I just had an occasion to order three
items from them and I can hardly believe the fast service I received.
I ordered via the Web today at about 11:10 AM. Then, almost immediately, I
received my order confirmation back at 11:17 AM. About 4:30 PM I opened my
front door to get the mail and something was blocking the door. I looked down
and saw a small package. At first I thought maybe it was some medicine my
wife had ordered, but then saw it was addressed to me and it was from
McMaster-Carr. Same day service! Outstanding!! I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Ellery,
Good eye. That is my trailer/hanger. It is built out of thin wall box tubing
and covered in prepainted corrugated steel roofing. It is extremely light and
pulls easily. It has paid its way in hanger rent many times over. Now if I
can just talk the county into letting me hack a taxiway through the trees.......

Larry Cottrell and Arty,
I'm not going to be able to decide if I'm going to MV till the end of March.
But I live near Dallas Tx in an airport home (F69) you can park your planes,
get gas, food, wash cloths, take showers and sleep in beds right here at the
house. There are over a dozen resturants, gas stations, a home depo, a
walmart, and a full sized shopping mall less than a mile away. It's not as
fun as camping out but I'd be happy to have you over. If I can't do MV I'd
still like to meet up with you on your way through Texas.
