Reruns of Kolb flying beat reruns of Seinfeld any day :) Videos of some of
your takeoff's, landings, and other places you fly, even if not canyons would
also be great to see. I really liked the hat cam, that video turned out so
good I am going to make a helmet mount for my camera in the next few days.
Russ,
Larry's pictures were really great, nothing wrong with the quality. What I was
saying is that his videos would be incredible if he had something that would
shoot in a bit higher quality. Personally, I think if Larry put a good high
definition camera on that front of his Kolb, he could probably have some of his
videos shown on National Geographic or Discovery. Thats just really great
stuff !

I am the Kolb owner's wife. First of all, we are sorry Ellery had to wait 6 hours
in the hot sun, but we said we would be three between 2-3 and we were there
just after 3 pm, he got there early. I am not sure why he thinks we treated
him second class, we could not have been nicer to him. And yes, I did have the
gentleman in the bank verify that the funds on the check were valid and I am
sure if the situation were reversed he would have done the same. The gentleman
in the bank was only doing his job and was very professional and pleasant.
Ellery did present his driver's license and signature as did my husband...but
that was for a notarized bill of sale which is required. I have had a bad
experience, so in this day and age with photoshop I am very careful when purchasing
or selling something for such a large sum. My husband trusted Ellery 100%,
I am the one is careful with transactions. Sorry if that offended Ellery.
Yes, the battery did do damage to the nose, we hit some very unexpected rough roads
in South Carolina and felt really bad about what happened, but we gave him
a $700 intercom and headsets to compensate which he failed to mention. As far
as the weather cracking on the tires, that is a personal call, the tires were
fine and we had no problems from Fla to NC.
I am sorry Ellery feels the way he does, but he got a great deal and after I read
this I had to respond, I guess you can't make some people happy. Everyone
who knows my husband will tell you he is an honest upstanding man. Ellery is
the one with a chip on his shoulder.

Never mind, folks. I called GPL after I found them with a Google search.
I'll let you all know how it comes out as the person I need to speak with,
Gary, will not be in until the morning.

I have no dog in this fight. I wasn't there. I don't know either of you. All
I ask is that both of you end this, now. You've both had your say here and
now the appropriate thing to do if either of you wish to pursue this
discussion is to do it directly, person to person, email to email, and leave
the rest of us out of it.Just my opinion, and yes, I know how to use the
delete key, I just don't think I should have to.

Subject: | 582 NON Rotax electric starter question |
Doing the annual on my Mk 3 and decided to pull apart the GPL starter to
clean and inspect. To make a long story short, there are four 6mm X 1.25 X
18mm socket head cap screws that hold the spacer spool for the recoil
starter to the adapter ring that bolts to the stock Rotax crank damper. They
need to be 25mm (~1.0 in) long, IMHO, as they only have about 7mm (a little
over 1/4") of engagement in the adapter. The problem is that all I can find
at McMaster Carr, Fastenal, Bolt Depot, ad infinitum is 6mm X 1.00 thread
pitch. I've measured the bolts I have with my trusty SPI thread gage and
they are definitely 1.25 pitch. Anybody know of a source?

Just a note to introduce myself. I just picked up a Firestar KXP w/447. It
is currently based at 14N in eastern PA, where I also fly in the glider
club. This is my 3rd ul/experimental, coming from a Cobra & a Phantom.
I have a Commercial license, having flown ag planes in the midwest, and did
some CFI and glider tow work back east. I've always liked Kolbs, and am
anxious to fly this one. After reassembling it from the truck ride home, I
still need to attach the wing-gap seal, hook up the strobes and go over it
thoroughly before the first flight.
I know this list is a great source of veteran information, and look forward
to good advice since one can always learn from others experience.
Anyone else on the list in this area...give me a holler.
Cheers,
Bob Pongracz
Firestar KXP/447
