The buyer came yesterday, took it and paid me. This morning he called and asked out of the deal. Since i am a firm believer in the Golden Rule, I let him out of the deal and gave his money back. He brought his wife, was 74, and I suspect she put him over the coals at the motel last night. So the Firefly is back on the market again.

From: "ronlee" Do I ever agree with agree with the testing advice. I also have been a welder for most of my working life and I can guarantee that a pretty weld is not necessarily a strong weld, nor is a weld full of porosity any good. Test it by bending, twisting, hammering or what ever you have to do to break it. When you do break it look to see how well the weld penetrated into the base metal. it should pull some of the base metal out when it does break. A poor weld that looks pretty can also be brittle and break with little bending. Any time you test for a certified welding job they will do all of the above. -------- Ron Lee Tucson, Arizona Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=350475#350475 ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 02:47:45 PM PST US From: George Bearden Subject: Kolb-List: CORRECTION Firefly license requirement wrong: > This allows you to fly it with a Sport Pilot license.

FireFly license requirement??? I believe you are referring to a different model Kolb. FireFly is Part 10(we don't need no stinking badges)3. No license required... If you kill yourself in a FireFly the FAA will refer it to the local police as a suicide. -------- Henry Firefly Five-Charlie-Bravo Do Not Archive Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=350517#350517 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 09:32:45 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Kolb MIIIX vs. Classic From: "Mic" Thank you one and all for your input and a very interesting discussion.
