Hi Jeremy,
I'm still here and still have my Firestar II. Don't really participate on the list
any, just lurking. Email is jcooley380@att.net
Since I'm typing I'll let everyone know that i bought a Mark III Classic kit from
Jeremy a few years back. Worked on it for awhile making mods to be like John
Hauck's plane. Like the long sexy legs I guess. Also bought a 130hr 912S from
a guy that had a Slingshot in Rome Ga. Jeremy had built the wings/tail feathers
already along with some other stuff. Life got busier and the project has
been on hold.
--------
Be Safe,
John Cooley

Malcolm,
If Ellery doesn't want your Navman Fuel 2100, let me know. I'll buy it from you
if you don't want too much for it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO3rTAqh9zg
Mike Marker flew his Rans S 18 here yesterday from Los Lunas N.M. An
over 700 mile trip in one day. Quite a substantial trip in an 80 MPH
plane. The weather out here is as bad as it is every where else, and
yesterday was about the only semi clear day for the flight.
This morning dawned a bit better than we had anticipated and most of
the storm was in Idaho, so we decided to go to the Steen's. It was calm
on the ground but the winds at 5000 feet had me cut back to 47 GPS MPH.
Not that bumpy, but slow for sure. I had not used my little camera in
quite a long time and apparently the battery has suffered for it. I only
got 39 minutes of video before it shut off. I cut most of it out, and of
course missed the only part that I wanted. On the way home at 94 GPS MPH
I flew through a house sized cloud that had moved into the area, but
alas it was too late.
I was way too high for video, but perhaps you can see some of what the
country looks like.

Excellent reply there Mike.I did know of a guy that installed a 912S on
an older MII.Adriel Heisey from out in Fort Defiance AZ installed a 912S
on his MII several years ago.I know he did several mods to make it work.

The MkIII is a significant change from the MkII. With it's 6" main
fuselage tube and 6" wing spars, it is quite a bit different than the
MkII's 5" tubes.
Beefing a MkII up, or converting a MkII into a MkIII is no simple
task!!! I mean......it's not easy like converting a MkIII Classic into
a MkIII Xtra!! (LOL)

Travis/Gang:
Let me help out a little.
Adriel had a Twin Star, was looking for reliability over the 503 more so
than performance, based on his professional aerial photography work and
the environment in which he flew.
The Twin Star was designed for the Rotax 447 40 hp engine.
The MKII is basically a Twin Star with an enclosed cockpit, if I
understand correctly.

Thanks, buddy.
I understand where you are coming from.
I am sure we both have the same ambition to fly again. My mkIII will
get a rest and you can continue working on your fire fly.
