I am Bill Sullivan, and my wife is Norma, called Tiny. Newcomers to the list, both
reading and contributing. Enjoy it very much. We are in our late 50's, and
just decided to buy a used Kolb Firefly. Question: Is there anyone in our area
who can give a couple of lessons in a dual control Kolb? We live in Windsor
Locks, Ct., right near Bradley Airport. East Windsor, Simsbury, and Ellington
airports are nearby, as well as Robert's field, which is turf, and privately owned.
We would also like to know if there are any local clubs, or Kolb owners
near. Thank You
Bill

Today, I made a flight from Alvin TX to LaPorte TX (T41, only about 25
miles) to get signed off to fly solo in my Firestar II. I made it over,
got my endorsement, and flew back to my home airport (6R5). The
instructor at LapPorte had given me my tailwheel endorsement there
earlier this month in a Legend Cub. I still have to complete one more
X-wind landing lesson at my other flight school and then complete my
checkride before I get my Sport Pilot license, but at least now I can
fly legally out of my airport. I feel much better about things being
legal, even though I have about 20+ hours in my plane. I honestly felt
like a kid who just got his driver's license...no big deal to most
others, but very exciting to me! This has been maybe the most inspiring
year of my life, flying my Kolb is great fun! Thanks to all who have
helped me out along the way.

Hi Bill, there are three Kolbs at Goodspeed (42B); two MKIII's and my
Ultrastar (though I'm keeping mine at home in the trailer during the
winter). There's also at least one Kolb at Richmond in RI. I don't think
any of them are instructors, though you might be able to get a ride in one
(more likely in the Spring when it's warmer, I'd imagine). We often get
together at Goodspeed on Saturday mornings even when it's too cold to fly.
Did you buy your Firefly locally? Just curious because there was a nice
one at Griswold (N04) before it closed (as well as a Firestar, my
Ultrastar, and one of the MKIII's now at Goodspeed); I was interested but
the owner supposedly wasn't interested in selling, so I bought the
Ultrastar instead. We're still hoping a miracle happens and Griswold
reopens, but we're not holding our breaths.
Boy, Roberts sure is close to Bradley! Are visitors welcome? Do you know
if they have a letter of agreement or do you have to contact Bradley
approach? I see there's also Bancroft just south of Roberts.

the additional rates added later on. keep on flying and having fun.

Hi Bill,
I am located in Miami, which is a very long way from you, but the weather is warm
and if you find yourself down here on vacation, and would like to get some
dual in a MK III, I would be happy to take you up. This offer is open to anyone
that needs to fly a 2 place Kolb before attempting to solo their own Kolb.
Mike

Jimmy,
Congrats! Glad to hear it. It's no small event in terms of time,
effort, cost, and especially the opportunities it will provide. I think
any amount time you fly with a good instructor is a good investment.

Has anyone tried installing the BRS in a Firestar other than above your
head? I'm trying to find room to engineer a starter and I'm running out of room
with the BRS next to it. Quicksilvers have the BRS in all sorts of odd looking
configurations including shooting the BRS to the side of the aircraft.
I have my softpak mounted below the boom and below the gas tank aimed out
the right side.... Of course I have never had to use it. Oh, I have a KX
Firestar. with a 447
