Dennis,
I have a Firestar II, and it's insured for hull & liability thru EAA/Falcon. For
insurance purposes I have the plane valued at $28K, and I have $500K liability
coverage. I don't get the deal John does, but I don't have his experience either.
Mine costs $1350/yr, I that was based on 350 hrs in the plane & 410 hrs
total, and hangared inside. It's pretty easy to get if you are ready to write
the check.

Hi guys,
It is with an extremely heavy heart that I must sell my Firestar.

If anyone is interested please call me at 405-426-2014 or email me off list
at camp405@gmail.com and I will give you all the details.
Thanks Chris

Subject: | Fw: Kolb Construction Videos |
Hi Folks:
Travis asked me to forward the following Kolb Aircraft videos with the Kolb
List.
He also told me the company is doing well. They are building and selling
Kolbs.
Kolb Aircraft is oriented to building Kolb kits the way Homer Kolb did it,
integrating improvements of the kit without changing the type kit and
purpose of Homer's designs.

My Zenith CH701 friend has a 912S. It has the characteristic on the ground
of stopping when the throttle is pulled to full idle. As his friendly Flight
Advisor I find this worrisome if not downright unsafe. I've tried to get him
to increase his idle stop screws but he views it as a deliberate design
"feature" to replace the absent mixture idle cutoff. Any comments or
experience to assuage my fears or convince him of the error of his ways?

Tom K/Gang:
The 912 operators manual indicates the idle speed to be 1,400 rpm minimum.
No mention of "deliberate design feature to replace the absent mixture idle
cutoff."
I believe if Rotax wanted a mixture idle cutoff, they would have equipped
the 912 with a mixture control.
Never lost a 912 with the throttle closed during an approach, and don't want
to. For that matter, never had a 912 quit running in flight, except when I
screwed up and tried to fly with contaminated fuel. I didn't know the fuel
was contaminated because I did not drain fuel after I obtained it from an
unreliable source, even though I thought, at the time, both places were
reliable aviation fuel suppliers.
I have found with my one 912UL and two 912ULS's, they all like to idle
around 1,500 to 1,600 rpm.

Subject: | HKS Engine on a KF |
I was not aware this HKS700e engine was being used on a Kolb Firestar.
"Here are some photos and a video of my Kolb Firestar with HKS engine. The aircraft
is being flown from my 600 foot pasture air strip at the 4,000 foot level
on the west slope of Mauna Kea on the "Big Island" of Hawaii. The engine is running
well.
Regards,
Dave Bigelow"
