I have rebuilt three UltraStars and had an original Firestar and did some
checking of this very sort. I am sorry to report that it would not be that
easy or practical. You need to change the entire vertical assembly and
ventrical fin where it comes into the boom at the back. You need to replace
just about everything back there. It is expensive and time consuming just
to "not" have to take one bolt and nut off. While I am at it, I flew with a
gentleman from Florida this last weekeand he has a Flyboy. It is
beautfiful. Kept up a good pace in the air and was very docile. Looked
very good next to my Slingshot. If you might be interest in it, go to:

He had a Kolb Mk II for a long time and he traded for this. He is looking
to buy a Pelican next which was a Kolb Factory plane for awhile. Ted Cowan,

Jim,
Having had to rescue my MarkIIIC from Texas in 2004. Go with the 26'. I used
a 24' foot. It fit but ended up with extra nose rash. Hardware and fittings on
the door cut into that 24' if I remember right.
Also difficult to tie-down to prevent load shifting even a little bit. Suggest
frequent stops in the first few hours to check that. Not good to get all the
way home and find damage because bumpy roads shifted things around.
Bigger will be better.
Do not archive.

Thanks too much,

My local airport- Skylark Air Park, East Windsor, Ct.- has advised me that as
of Sept. 1, 2008 mogas (92 octane, no lead, no alcohol) will no longer be available
due to changes in the law. All shipments were made out of Albany, N.Y.,
and they will no longer be stocking it up there. This will probably affect all
airports in the region. Skylark told me that they will not stock any variant
of mogas, as it would be the same as auto pump gas. They will still have 100LL.

I'm not in the market myself, but that's actually a VERY attractive
airplane! Kinda like a more sleek Kolb. Pity it's a nosedragger...

| Subject: | Firestar Project- training |
Today I went up to the airport in Northampton, Mass., and started my refresher
flying lessons. I had an hour in a Cessna 152 doing basic flight manuevers.
I felt awkward at first, but got the hang of it again in about 20 minutes. The
152 was older and well used as a trainer, but solid. My flight experience was
all in an Alon A-2 Ercoupe 39 years ago. I had just gotten up to a couple of
hours of take-offs and landings when I had to quit because of an injury. Biggest
problem today- unfamiliar with the Cessna dashboard. Just for any lurkers out
there- first lesson in 39 years on Friday the thirteenth, in a plane with tail
number ending in 513. The only bad thing was that I still liked it. This could
have serious financial consequences.
My wife takes her first refresher lesson tomorrow morning.
