Larry > --- 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 ! Mike -------- "NO FEAR" - If you have no fear you did not go as fast as you could have !!!

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.

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 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.

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?

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 pongoflyer@gmail.com ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 06:32:01 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Greetings From: "Kip" Welcome aboard and keep us updated... :D -------- 2000 Firestar II R503 DCDI VLS 750 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=255308#255308 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
