Subject: | New Firestar at Oshkosh |
Kolb Aircraft has introduced a new side by side two seater Firestar at Oshkosh.
I talked with Travis while I was there, and he said it can be configured either
as a taildragger or a tricycle gear as shown. He told me any existing Firestar
II can be transformed by switching out the fuse cage, as the wings & tail
boom & empennage are the same. It has the droop-tip wing fairing as well. This
one had a 582 on it, and they said a 503 or 582 is what it's designed around.
I'd like to change mine out just for the extra cabin space!
This was my first visit to Oshkosh and I had a great trip. Wisconsin is a beautiful
state and unbelievably clean, much cleaner than my home state. We stayed
in a U of W - Oshkosh dorm room. I like the north's version of a heat wave, but
I wouldn't do well there in the winter. All in all, I had a perfectly good week
off doing nothing but airplane related activities.

Mike, I appreciate the offer, but there are things you just can't get to
after the fuselage is covered.
At this point I think I'll finish the Firestar first, put the 582 on it and
have a hot rod to play around in then sell it next spring to finance a new
cage for the Mk III, or not.

Subject: | Mk IIIC in Kansas |
Rick=2C
Ok=2C but the offer to take photos etc=2C still stands. Something to pon
der=2C though=2C
I DO know of a guy with a MkIIIC cage that is NOT covered.
His name is Brian Fell. He contacted the Kolb list back around November
asking
if anyone had converted a MkIIIC to an X. I mentioned Ken's Xtra that you
were working on=2C
and of course=2C mine.
He and I have had lots of 'off-list' emails=2C where I was suggesting how
I'd go about the
change differently=2C etc. He is VERY slow to get going with his conversio
n=2C evidently $$$
slowing him down quite a bit.
About 3 weeks ago=2C he reemerged when he sent me a 'joking' email of his
newly
arrived Xtra nosecone=2C propped in place on the front of the MkIIIC frame.
...and said it
didn't fit. The last I heard prior to going on our mini-vacation was he ha
dn't started anything yet.
If you haven't had much of a response to your request for your MkIIIC inf
o=2C
etc=2C and you are still in need of 'bare frame' measurements=2C pictures
=2C dimensions=2C etc=2C let me
know=2C and I'll see if I can get him to get you fixed up. Whatever works
best!
