    Thanks for the heads-up but that that link doesn't show which plane you are talking about. Please be more specific. -------- Scott Olendorf Original Firestar, Rotax 447, Powerfin prop Schenectady, NY http://KolbFirestar.googlepages.com Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=120198#120198

    Hi Pat, This year's MV gathering was the 5th. I took my Firefly there in May 2002 and later shared some photos with John Hauck when I learned he had never flown in Arizona or Utah yet. He shared with the list and that added some fuel to the idea of a gathering in May 2003 that Boyd and Erich had apparantly started earlier. Cheers! -------- Jim Hefner Tucson, AZ Do Not Archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=120205#120205

    Subject: Re: Identification Plate - where to install?
    Assuming you are referring to the data plate -This is from the EAA web site - Placement of the aircraft data plate is also covered in Part 45.11, the pertinent part of which states: [T]he aircraft identification plate must be secured to the aircraft fuselage exterior so that it is legible to a person on the ground, and must be either adjacent to and aft of the rearmost entrance door or on the fuselage surface near the tail surfaces. Note that the regulation specifically requires the data plate to be on the exterior of the aircraft. It cannot be mounted on an interior surface, even if it is visible from the outside. The regulation also stipulates that the date plate should not be attached in such a manner that it will not likely be defaced or removed during normal service, or lost or destroyed in an accident. Thus, the data plate should not be placed on an inspection cover or access door, or on any part that is commonly removed for maintenance or inspection. It should be attached to the fuselage itself.

    I put mine just an inch or two forward of the forward-most tip of the horizontal stabilizer, on the boom tube. The DAR had no complaints about that. -- Robert On 6/23/07, Richard Pike <richard@bcchapel.org> wrote: > > Assuming you are referring to the data plate -This is from the EAA web > site - > > Placement of the aircraft data plate is also covered in Part 45.11, the > pertinent part of which states: > > [T]he aircraft identification plate must be secured to the aircraft fuselage > exterior so that it is legible to a person on the ground, and must be either > adjacent to and aft of the rearmost entrance door or on the fuselage surface > near the tail surfaces. > > Note that the regulation specifically requires the data plate to be on the > exterior of the aircraft.

    Subject: New Windshields
    Hey Guys, Travis @ The New Kolb sent me a couple of sheets of the polycarbonate windshield material and it arrived yesterday. For those of you that were thinking about replacing your "glass" (ws, doors, gap seal, etc) nows a good time. I had searched extensively for "Lexan" and found it significantly more expensive than his price. Besides, we have to keep up our occasional airplane parts purchases. Lestwise we having nothing to install on our favorite toy! On a side note. Afew weeks back someone was having serious trouble with the right turn on a MkIII. Something about the flying controls.....easy to turn left, but incredibly difficult to turn right. I don't recall seeing a post resolving the problem. Whoever that was, did you get things squared away?? How about an update? Mike in SW Utah Thanks, Steve. This was quite an endeavor, building the pool, shop and 65 yds of concrete. I did almost every sq. inch of everything. (This is the kind of stuff I did for a living.) $85K change to this house in 5 months. When it is done I will no longer do construction anymore. Too old for this kind of crud! That's why I built the improvements I did. Airplane shop for me. Pool for the wife. (Although I have been known to swim, too.) In a few days, I will be able to resume building the MkIII. Yay!!!! It has been a few years, but the time has come to get 'er flying. P.S. On a different subject, I flew my 172 over to the Hurricane airport a couple of weeks ago, and lo & behold!! There was a MkIII sitting outside of a hangar. Piqued my interest, so I walked over and introduced myself, and met the pilot. It turns out this is the very same MkIII that many of you were discussing a few months back regarding an accident that made the headlines. I asked him about the accident and he really downplayed it. He it was nothing much, only a bent landing gear leg. From the looks of the rest of the plane, I would tend to agree with him. The rest of the plane looked just fine, and didn't show any signs of major repairs. Could be an another example of News Reporting sensationalism!! Like "Kolb airplane crashes, hundreds injured, dozens killed, sparks 5 wildfires, and 3 apartment fires. Global warming sure to increase now.

    Subject: Identification Plate - where to install?
    John et al: I did the same as Robert.... Just forward of the horiz stab. A word of caution..... Make sure that you have your paperwork back BEFORE you do the engraving of the data plate. Make sure that the data elements that are called for on the plate are engraved EXACTLY as they appear on the registration. If the paperwork says "FS II" engraving "Firestar II" won't work. Fun!

    Thanks Mike! as of today we looked at the pivot point on the throttle lever at the main connection and there is plenty of room to get the connection closer to the center of the rear quadrant.....Kolbras work the throttle from the rear seat lever via a push pull tube to the front seat. what the upper cable slot is and it's attach point is still a mystry to me! -------- Paul Petty Kolbra #12 Ms Dixie Wating for final inspection and cert.
