Bob,
I've got an HKS on a Firestar. I bought it from Jerry Olinek @ Greensky Aviation
& had him install it for me. I have the Type 5 exhaust and it's a quiet engine.
the oil tank on mine is mounted above the fuel tanks. I would prefer to have
it somewhere else, but the way my FS is set up with a BRS there is no other
place it would work.
If you have not purchased an engine yet, you may want to consider buying one from
Jerry. He has done a few Kolb installs, is very knowledgable, and has advised
a few other Kolb owners on doing their own installs. The prices are all the
same whether you buy one from him or somewhere else, so you may as well get one
from a dealer with Kolb installation experience.
I've got about 103 hrs. on mine to date and it runs great. I've got some photos
I'd be happy to send you off-line, and if you need any other info on my set up
I'd be glad to share. Just email me direct, jdy100@comcast.net.

Have been flying with Bob my neighbor in his newly acquired Kolb MK lll,
he is progressing very good....did some stalls, slow flight, 360 deg. turns
around a point, climbs at full power maintaining a cetain airspeed and
descents with different power setting maintaining a certain airspeed.... and
one day just let him fly around the area looking at stuff he had a interest
in.....I just enjoyed the ride...thanks to all for your input on proper use
of flaps...the problem with the lexan popping in on the doors was because
it was to thin....we riveted a extra bow in each door which solved the
problem...will take a pic and post...was easy to do....when lexan needs
replacing will replace with thicker and remove the extra bow....The Mark lll with
the 912 80 hp performs very well and is easy on gas....I am very
impressed....tis a joy to fly...to help support the Kolb Company we could give
a demo
ride to those that might have the need....jim swan
