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.

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

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.

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.
Enjoy

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

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.

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.
