No problem whatsoever. Let's start with the basics. Is your aircraft an
Experimental Light Sport Aircraft (ELSA) or an Experimental Amateur Built
Aircraft (EAB)?
Do you have an experimental certificate for the airplane (pink piece of
paper) and registration (known as the "hard card")? If you have an "N"
number you should have the latter. If any of the other paper work is in
doubt and If your aircraft is an ELSA, the hard card is the most important
piece of paper to have and it must have been issued before 2-1-08. The
reason for this is that the FAA granted an extension to the time limit for
completing the registration process for an ELSA, provided the aircraft was
registered before 2-1-08. If you have the registration all the other
paperwork can be straightened out, if you don't there is still an option
open to you, but it is extremely limiting to your flying.

Hi everyone on this great list.
We were here all day Monday working as usual. Monday was a regular work
day for us.
I would say we were outside taking down signs or we could have been on
the phone when Bill tried to call.
Below is my email address that I check often.
travis@tnkolbaircraft.com
We would like to thank everyone that attended our Homecoming this year.I
was very pleased to see all you guys.
Thank you so much for all the support and the friendship.

Hi Bill,
How goes the Firestar flying? Sorry to hear about your unintentional
donation.
The Kolb guys are really good folks to deal with.With the Kolb
Homecoming and other stuff they may have needed a short break before
getting back to work.
How many hours have you put on your bird since you've got it?
Us busy-bodies would like to know :-)
Best Regards
Carlos Grageda

Can anybody tell me where I can get a replacement weight for
my Firestar II aileron? I am not having much luck with the "new" Kolb
factory. No answer.
Seem to have donated this one to the countryside this morning.

Thanks to all for your replies. Didn't mean to sound disrespectful to your
company, Travis! Didn't think about the fly-in, as I am so far away. Found
a replacement locally for $1.00, so I am back in business.

It's an ELSA. I've got the airworthiness card (pink) and am in the process of getting
the registration transferred into my name. I just don't have operating
limitations and need to do a new weight and balance.

Don't think there has ever been a operators handbood and operating
limitations published by old or new Kolb. I have never encountered any
through 1991, when I built my third and last Kolb. Don't recall seeing any
publication that looked official with Kolb operating limitations.

I fly from a dirt strip, not with a Kolb however.
The plane will get dirty and you best not have any grease or other sticky substance
on your hinges, rod ends, pulleys or other moving parts(Tail wheel) as the
sand/dust will stick in it and wear your parts due to vibration, control actuation
etc.
Just use a dry lubricant such as graphite or silicone.
If its an UltraStar your prop is going to get chewed up as well so Leading Edge
tape would be useful.
I don't think your tail surfaces will suffer except for getting dirty, so a good
dusting of the tail after flying would be a good idea.
Make sure the the surfaces are dry if you are taking an early morning "dew" flight
otherwise you will have a mess to clean up off your tail when the dirt mixes
with the dew and "adheres" to you tail.

| Subject: | Re: passengers/ law suits? |
You must have insurance if you fly passengers otherwise your are risking all for
THEIR amusement.
Those waivers do not hold up in court as the state a federal laws prevail regardless
of anything you had them sign.
The only thing they are good for is to try and convince them not to go flying with
you and as proof that you made them aware of risk(Maybe they get 2mil instead
of 4 mil).
Insurance companies can and will recover their losses any way they can regardless
of the policy holders wishes.
Its nice to share your fun with your friends but when the chips are down people
do whatever they have to in order for their own families survival in which case
all bets on how "nice" they are/were are off!
Bottom line is that YOU need insurance to fly them as doing otherwise is merely
tempting fate.
Hate to sound so negative about it but that is the cold hard reality.
(Mileage of the above varies by each state having its own rules)

HiGang:
Got a snap shot of me and John Williamson flying formation during one of the
early Kolb Homecomings. Was probably 2004 or 2003, maybe 2002, because John
W was still flying the Jabiru.

If your Kolb is in the ELSA category (not E-AB) you can easily get your qualifications
to do your own annual inspections by attending Mike Huffman's 2 day course.
He will be conducting another fixed-wing course on January 22-23, 2009 at the Sebring
Regional Airport, Sebring, FL in conjunction with the U.S. Sport Aviation
Expo.
Go to his website for more information:
sportaviationspecialties.com or email him at SportAviation@gmail.com
