Thanks for the posts Rick N. and Craig. I am still here and building slowly but
surely. I worked last night on the baffles for the engine. To do a neat
secure job is time consuming.
You all have been a real help to me. I am still studying on what prop to use and
where to get the exhaust/parts.
Thanks for asking about me.
Bob

I took my son for a ride in the Kolbra yesterday and he took a video of the landing
from the back seat.

come up with...I have seen many people have the Carlisle golf cart tires on
a 6" rim and call them Tundra Tires.... They are Heavy and Stiff, and the size
is all I see that is close to being what is referred to as a Tundra Tire.....
These Tires I have are Soft and only use between 5 and 10 pounds of air, and
they are Light Weight........... They act like the Big Boys Tundra Tires in Alaska......
The Rims I have are 8" in Diameter, and fit on Black Max and Hegar
wheel hubs, and maybe others..... Anyway I would like your input on what you think
about my Tire and Wheel Combo........

Hello, i dont mean to bring this up from the grave...but im curious as to how the
axles that come in the kit are mounted onto the current FS landing gear. Are
they a pretty easy replacement or do they require a bit of fabrication?
I have a fs2 that could use a new brake setup...

Here is a Picture of my Kolb Firestar II with a different set of Wheels on the
Black Max System...... If you buy extra wheel hubs you can change both tires in
less than 5 minutes.... You remove a cotter pin then unscrew a Nylon Nut using
a Ratchet and 15/16" Socket. Put the different set of Wheels on, replace the
one nut and cotter pin, and your ready to Fly.... In this Picture I have 8"
rims that have standard DOT approved Radial Trailer Tires... .. I use this set-up
when I am using the paved Runway.......... When I am on a Grass Strip it
is back to the Tundra Tires.......... Joe

Ralph,
That was a very nice Video. Was that taken with the passenger using a hand held
Camcorder?
Have you ever used a Camcorder mounted outside of the cockpit, like mounted on
a Wing Strut or Boom Tube..........Joe
