John and all, (yeah, I'm still alive :) correct about using a standard
drill bit with lexan, no prob. If you use an electric jigsaw that
has the
orbital action it will cut 1/8" fine. I wouldn't know about the
thinner stuff
but maybe if you backed it up with thin plywood to keep it from flopping
around. Be sure to put wide masking tape on the cutting area to save
from scratches. Clean up the cut edge with a mill file.
I just bought a cheapo electric planer at harbor freight and I'll bet it
would do a dandy job of edge smoothing set at minimum.

Hello Kolbers,=0A=0AAs you know, my Kolb Mark III Extra is in the capable h
ands of David Key, for which I am very grateful. Since I really wanted a h
elicopter, that's what I'm building now, although I'm sure a single place K
olb is in my future . . . . at any rate, when I upgraded to the Extra I got
the heavy duty horizontal stabilizers after I'd covered and finished throu
gh to silver the Mark III Classic ones. They are sitting in our hangar and
I'd like to find out if any Kolbers out there want them for their project.

=0A=0A=0AMr. Hauk is correct. Lexan (polycarbonate) can be drilled with nor

Hey Lisa,
Lucky you. When I upgraded to the Extra in 2003 no one said diddly squat
about different stabilizers.
Does that mean I'm going to be under stabilized with my classic ones?
Anyone?
Ironicaly I just saw on Barnstormers what you must be talking about and
wondered what they were. Square ends and exta bracing.

Vic,
My Firestar II & uncle Craigs MkIII Xtra recieved tape on all areas you
mentioned. We used 1" tape on the false ribs and areas of the fuse, 2"
or 2.5"" tape on the main ribs, 3-4" tape on the leading trailing edges.
Check out our website and you should be able to see these details.

Here are two very good short videos about flying in Monument Valley. They were
shot from an Ultralight Trike, but they are the best I have ever seen.

Valley. | JettPilot
Thanks Mike:
Nice video clips.
The shots of short final and touch down on the pavement were very
familiar.
Looking forward to my flight back to MV for the 5th time this May. Be
looking for you all there.
Time for a Navajo Taco Salad, Navajo fry bread and honey for
breakfast, when I get tired of eating eggs and bacon.
Best flying is before coffee and breakfast. Tough for me to get going
with no caffeine, but an early morning flight through the monuments is
worth it.
Attached are a few memories from MV 2005.

| Subject: | Recommended Prop for my Firstar |
Do most folks opt for the three blade prop or two bladed type. I have a two blade
variety and it's in need of being replaced. The engine is a Rotax 503 DCDI.
Where does one shop for this prop. The only source I have now is CPS in Calif.
I've heard the Spruce is pretty pricey.

| Subject: | Re: Recommended Prop for my Firstar |
Welcome to the most argued about topic on the list...
Props and the number of blades they should have is sort of a religion here -
and within this religion you have True Believers, a Priesthood, a Laity,
Backsliders, Infidels, Apostates and a Mixed Multitude.
But do not dispair - for a Love Offering of any amount of Seafoam, Bro.
Beauford will be more than glad to reveal to you The One True Prop...
Aw, ok - Rotax 503, DCDI, 2.58:1 B box - IMO, get a 66" two blade Ivo and
you won't go wrong. Google it, lots of folks sell 'em, shop around. Use a
prop extension, makes things quieter.

Group,
I have had a drop of about 300 -400 rpm static on my 447 with only 45
hours on it. what are the symptoms of stuck rings and can you tell if they are
stuck by doing a compression test? I noticed I was not getting as many rpms on
climb out but it still seemed to have plenty of power. Can the pitch increase
on the Ivo prop by itself???? Suggestons?

John -
GORGEOUS pics.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Larry Cottrell and
I make it there this May. The pictures sure keep the
memories flowing - last year's MV fly-in was a truly
great flight for me from start to finish.

| Subject: | Recommended Transponder |
I'm in the process of getting my Firestar registered. I will need a transponder
to use one of the airports I may be flying into. Any recommendations as to what
transponder I should purchase? I notice a Garmin 327? on ebay for about $1,600.
Is this overkill for what I need?
