Thanks, Stan's still working on his FS, I think he always will be, but he's flying it regularly. Yes, I'm still using the Cuyuna... I have a newly rebuilt 447 but I have to build a mount for it, and it just doesn't seem all that urgent. -Dana -- Friends help you move. REAL friends help you move bodies.

    Hi Mike Welcome. To the Kolb world , Your gone'a love it. I fly trike's too . Its like riding a bike and then driving a car. When I fly my trike I get on it and fly it like riding a bike When I fly 3 axis, I get in it like a car. Different controls to do the same thing. In you firefly do lots of taxiing till you get the feel . The more power the more the tail works. Get your taxiing with tail up, going up and down the runway keeping it on the ground. When you are ready to fly, roll on the power to full and let it keep climbing up to 2000 ft or more and get use to the feel, check your stall speed, When you ready to land it come back and do lots of flybys, getting lower to the deck. Then do your touch and go's What you do land, fly it down with power till your on the ground. Don.t cut the power till you are on the ground, then roll the power off. Kolb's are great plane's enjoy. Hope it helped Safe Fly'n Bob Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=355188#355188

    Bill, I have a 2003 Mark III Classic with a 912 ULS 100 HP engine that is in excellent condition. 276 hours total. Will sell the Kolb because I just bought a Tecan Bravo. Was asking 26,500, but will take 25,000. If interested, call me at 803-221-6090. I will be away from my computer for several days, so do not respond by e-mail right now Thanks, Eddie

    Dana, Thank you for the fine videos. It was sad to recognize Griswolds plowed up runway though. I spent quite a few fine afternoons visiting with ultralight and gyro friends over there with my Firestar. It did scare the crap out of me flying the 2-stroke 447 over the L.I. Sound. If you see a raggedy ol green/white 172 circling your field, itll be me. -------- Jerry King Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=355196#355196

    The first one is a little long but worth watching all the way through I think. The camera and mount information is on the end of the first one.

    Subject: Re: Flaps or falparon on the Firestar 11
    if they feel the flaps are a worth while addition >> Hi Boyd, I have one of the very few Xtra`s with flaperons actuated by a handle which sticks out from behind your right elbow. The arrangement sucks although surprisingly you get used to it. it seems that the kit was made just about the changeover between the old and new companies and the new company killed the design and the flaperon system stone dead.. As far as the efficacy of the flap system I can find no fault. It does what it says on the tin, increases the drag, lowers the stalling speed and enable very steep approaches. You will probably need it one day. I usually use one notch of flap but sometimes the whole lot just for practice. Not often as with my system the top notch is very difficult to reach. I have no problem with flaperons as such versus flaps. I had flaperons on my Challenger for ages but there they were part of the trimming system. Dropping full flaperon moved the trim right forward. That does not happen with the Kolb. I certainly would not be without flaps or flaperon although I some times land without them just for fun. You just take up more room on the approach. Cheers Pat

    Dennis Great seeing you and others in Marshall. If you strain your eyes and use your imagination, you can see my house about 25 miles east in the last video. The scenery is even prettier now as the leaves change and the visibility is great. Come on down (or up from Memphis) the White River and visit us in Mtn. View.

    Larry, I must have flown right over you on the way there Saturday afternoon. E-mail me at dlong1957@yahoo.com and I will get you on my MSUG flyers list and calendar. Just my local e-mail notification of events in this area. The weekend before one I flew to Jonesboro Classic field, on to Ash Flat then to Arkavalley then to Charles Baker for the hangar party and on home. Lot of flying that day but it was fun to make one EAA meeting and then 3 fly-in events in the same day. Weather was great. -------- Dennis Long Oakland TN 2001 Kolb Mark IIIC 110+ hours since March 2011 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=355225#355225

    Great video=2C it bring back a lot of good memories and a few scary ones al so. I lived across the line in Mo. and had flown down there many times year s ago (70 & 80's) before it was build up as it is now. I learned after find ing bullet holes in my wings after flying low and slow. The pot growers tho ught we was looking for them I guess. We learned to carry repair tape with use all the time after that. > Subject: Kolb-List: Fall flying in Arkansas video. > From: dlong1957@yahoo.com > Date: Sun=2C 16 Oct 2011 07:48:40 -0700 > To: kolb-list@matronics.com > > > The first one is a little long but worth watching all the way through I t hink.
