Maybe Kolb should go in the go-cart business too?
Did you notice the extra corner gussets on the elevators and rudder? I figured
i would build mine in instead of adding them later like you had to do. :-)

Hi Scott:
Glad you picked up on the corner gussets. Don't forget the rudder
too.
Has Kolb incorporated them into the plans? I think not, but have not
seen the new mkIIIx plans.

"fish scales on floor pan"
Boy PlaneCrazzzy has too much time on his hands. Too many Z's in his name too.
I'm jealous as hell though. I want that enclosure and the fish scale floor
pan, and the checkerboard seat cushions. I better get busy and earn some Z's
for my name too.

I just read the Navman thread from PlaneCrazzzy, and I have had the same experience
when buying ( usually not buying ) from Aircraft Spruce.
I was looking at an intercom from them, the TL-2424, listed for 430 dollars. They
changed the name just enough to make it hard to do a search on, but using
just the numbers, I found the SAME intercom under a different name from another
avionics shop on the web for 280 dollars.
Same deal with a K&N Fuel filter, Aircraft Spruce is selling it under the name
Micron 100 fuel filter was selling it for 120 dollars. Lockwood aviation and
others sell the same filter under its real name for 49 bucks, less than half of
Aircraft Spruce.
I may buy some very small stuff from Aircraft Spruce if no one eles has it, but
I dont like getting gouged [Evil or Very Mad] I will always research the real
name of whatever I am buying and get it elsewhere.

I have one of these on my MKIIIX works well---Milow Tim on the other
hand has retro fitted a refueling boom from a black hawk helicopter to
the nose of his Firstar he says he needed to get the pitot tube out
there a few feet as there is quite a pressure wave in front of the
airplane to get accurate speed information. And he likes the look

Arrived 1030 and left 1630. Demo rides going all that time. Winds were 10-20
kts, changed at least 180 deg during that period. Most, if not all, exhibitors
were showing their stuff. Included a couple of trikes and a gyro or two.
Primarily a show case for the aircraft exhibitors. A few traditional vendors....
, but mostly promoting (vs selling) their products/services. (Ins, avionics,
power plants, props, chutes, etc..)
Several of the attendees who partook of the seminars had good comments.

They "are" a handy place to order from , but like you say...a little
research could save you money....
About the "miZer"..... I might be wrong...Sounds like there "is" a
differance with the transducer...somethin about a check valve or somethin

Hey Thanks!......( I think )
Those fish scales were done in only a couple of hours....
And I sewed my upholstery on a regular sewing mach....just bought upholstery thread
& needle....
It's gonna take a little more for the windscreen....but the same thing could be
done by just bolting /Riveting it together....
Main thing is....get inspired....make a wish list of things "ta do"

| Subject: | Firestar construction question - Windscreen |
I notice that my Kolb Firestar has a steel cage with a Lexan windscreen that fastens
to each side of the steel enclosure. Each side opens up and out. I have
a picture that shows this better than I can explain. This looks different than
the other Kolb Firestar's I see on the Web. Was this an option on the part of
the builder or a feature that can modified. I'm almost thinking this is an added
safety feature but I do not know for sure. I'm inclined to think that the
Lexan enclosure sans the metal frame is more appealing because it affords a better
"view".

Hi Bill,
It's an angle grinder with Scuff pads (2") The WD is put on to avoid
build up on the pad which would start gauling the aluminum....
The way I laided out the piece was about 1"x1" ( a little bigger )
In one row , I would center the pad where the lines crossed....
In the next row , I'd center in the middle , between the squares....
Next row , back on the crossed lines....
Below is a picture with the air tool in it....

But it does look like it would be cheap to put new lexan on it....
