Subject: | Firestar to MK III C transition. |
To all
Please give me in the simplest form the major differences between the Firestar
I and a MK3C. I have sold my Firestar KX to a fellow in TX and I am buying the
MK3C owned by Keith Anderson in Oregon. I intend to get my SP rating and I
have an instructor lined up. I have 100+ hours in an Ultrastar and 100+ hours
in the Firestar all within the last 2 years. I have been reading the old posts
and I am looking for the most important tips you all have for me on this transition.
I know I will have to learn the 912 80hp engine but I have plenty of
local help for that.
Thanks
Dennis Long in W. TN.
Moving on up.

I am familiar with Keith's plane, and own a Firestar II and have owned a
Mark III. If you can fly a Firestar, you shouldn't have any trouble with
the Mark III. Its bigger, should be faster, land pretty much the same if
not a bit slower, carry more weight. The comparison that I would make is
that you are trading a sports car for a van, but you will have more
range and can carry more stuff. Should be no problem for you.

I agree with Larry. If you can fly one model Kolb, you can fly them all.
Since Larry hurt my feelings referring to MKIII's at "vans", I will have to
fly circles around him next June, if I can make it back to the Rock House.

My experience flying Kolb's started with some dual in a MK lll to give me
some idea how a Kolb was to fly, I then purchased a Kolb firestar ll and
have put a lot of hours on it and enjoy it. I had as with every airplane to
get used to some things. This last summer I put a lot of time in a MK lll C
and found it to be the same airplane as far as traits as the Firestar. It
is a good airplane and you will enjoy it. You need to get used to it, I
would suggest spending time just setting in it to become familiar with were
things are, spend some time taxing, become familiar with the required speeds,
in other words the things you would do when flying any different
airplane....I would not fool with the flaps until I had got somewhat used to the
plane. I would use no flaps on take off and when I was used to flying the
plane then I would deploy the flaps at proper airspeed and with some altitude
to get used to them, I would also suggest that upon the lst flight to go up
to a safe altitude and do some stalls to find out where the indicated
airspeed stall is . I am sure I have repeated a lot of things you already know
but it is always good to be reminded. The most important thing is to
always fly the airplane', don't let it fly you.... Jim Swan up in cold and

I had an Original Firestar (corvette) with a lot of changes to it to reduc
e drag I could catch a friend of mine in a PA11 and pass him, I kick my
self in the A%# for getting rid of it, and Getting into a MK3C I call (Sl
ow Poke) 30 MPH slower than the firestar but fly's the same gets off quick
and climbs like a home sick angel The Mk3C has more drag a lot more I hav
e been making changes to it to reduce drag . although it has enough room
to haul plenty of gear and a chance to give someone a ride. if I can get
this MK3C to go like my Firestar I will be happy with it, if not I will
probably sell it, I just cant get my self to try to do long cross country
s with Ole Slow Poke when I can take the scenic rout and drive there fast
er its hard to make a change and lose that much speed for me anyway
The firestar Held 10 Gallons of fuel and would sip 2.7 GPH
The MK3C Holds 20 Gallons of Fuel and Gulps 6.+ GPH
sorry about the long rant
You should be all set to jump into it and fly away if you have 100 hours
in a firestar though

I feel the need for a bit of a disclaimer here. The plane that he is
buying has a 80 horse 912 on it and if he is getting the whole package,
( trailer and goodies) is getting a good deal. The plane will fly faster
than his Firestar, I would expect the cruise to be about 75 to 80 true
airspeed, and the 912 is pretty easy on fuel. The Mark III that I had
was powered by a 582 and sucked gas. That by the way was the only reason
that I got rid of it. Didn't think I could afford a 912. If it had flown
like John's Pfer I sure would have kept it. ( Now are you happy, old
man?)
I am quite sure that you will like the plane and get a lot of enjoyment
out of it. If your path goes any where close to here you are welcome to
stop by for the night. Klamath Falls is about 6 hours ( 330 miles) from
here.
