Have you been to OH2fly.net web site?
Yes, I have seen that site. That's what I mean that the problem has been
solved several times in different ways before, but each had to do it
themselves. Most of those are built from scratch, but I don't have a
workshop or time for that.
The last one in that list, David's, looks the simplest, if I could find a
similar trailer. Right now looking at used travel trailers to something
similar. When they're aging and out of style and getting musty inside, they
have little resale value, and there's lots of them laying around. Strip out
all the household furniture, and they're a fairly lightweight trailer. Just
have to get one big enough and cut a door in the back and arrange fittings
to hold the aircraft. That's what a fiend did here for the Mk3x he's just
about finished building. Then I'll just have to find a welding shop to make
an opening door and the fittings. Shouldn't take too long if I can find the
right little shop.

All those connectors and adapters is what have kept me from using a
radio. I admit that=2C since I fly few hours out of
my own strip=2C there is no urgent need=2C but what the hey!
-shouldn't I be able to plug my old headset into my
icom?
The old GA microphones used a telephone standard microphone and plug=2C and
the standard stuck. There's no room in a modern handheld radio for
that great big plug=2C so Icom and others had to use modern small plugs...
and they provide an adapter (at least they did with my A24). Along
comes Comtronics and others and it's a lot less cumbersome to use a
single plug=2C so another adapter is needed (and of course the military
helmet uses a different standard. So it goes.

Hi Chris,
nice pics and it is a good thing to get a positive piece in the newspapers
instead of the usual `plane crash` write up
I don`t think that the reporter is in line for a Pulitzer though.
Cheers

I thought is was a pretty good article, sport aviation needs all the help it can
get. I agree 'Good PR for a change !'

| Subject: | Helmets / Intercom Set for sale |
Kolb Friends -
I am selling a flight-helmet & intercom set, and I wanted to offer them
first to folks on the Kolb List, before posting them for sale on
Barnstormers.
This is a Comtronics Instruct-Com system, with 2 helmets and an intercom.
Year of mfr: 2003.
Helmets (2) are black - one size large, and one medium.
Intercom unit is a Dual-Com II, with individual volume controls for both
pilot and co-pilot, and with a music input jack.
Includes all interface cables, including PTT.
Also comes with a special patch cord, which connects one helmet directly to
your radio and a PTT (bypasses intercom).
All components are in excellent condition.
When I first began flying my Mark-3, I wore a helmet for the 40-hour Phase-I
flight test period. Afterward, I began using regular headsets and have not
used the Comtronics system since. The passenger's helmet has less than 5
hours of use, total.
New, this set was nearly $700.
Will sell for $300.
Please contact me off-list, if interested.

I have enjoyed your videos for the past year. I live in Howard city Michigan just
an hour and a half southwest of you and hope with your permission to visit
someday and maybe get a ride. I have just started building a Firefly and hope
to have it done by next summer sometime. I'm an ex general aviation pilot and
flew a t41B cessna 172 for several years. I have no experience in a tail dragger
or using a stick instead of a yolk. Thus, I'm hoping to get a ride with
you someday to at least get the feel of a Kolb before I try to fly my own. Maybe
next spring when the weather tries to get warmer again. Nice finish Job on
your plane by the way. I'm hoping to have something just a little different
on my finish Job as well. take care and keep the vids coming

plane ! I would be happy to take you up for a ride and let you get a feel for
it .I also have a 172 K I have had since 1990...I'll show you when you come up.
Thanks for watching my videos and I'm glad you enjoy them !

| Subject: | Kolb owners in Oregon, Washington? |
I really should take a look, and test-sit, a few Kolb aircraft before I
decide what to build. Is there a builder or owner around here (Portland,
OR)? The factory referred me to the forum.
The Kolbra and Mark III are both on my short list, but I would "settle" for
a Firestar II, since all models share so many components. I have my private
ticket but will convert to sport pilot.
Thanks!

Nice video, I wish I had some scenery like that around here. Is it normally that
quiet in your cabin. It sounds like you could hold a conversation and the
engine noise would not be that bad. In mine it is so loud you can hardly hear
yourself think.

Hi Folks:
This afternoon I pushed my MKIII out of the hanger for the first time since
22 June 2011, the day I returned from Oregon. Since then the battery has
been maintained by a small solar panel battery maintainer. Not only the
aircraft battery, but the ICOM A6 battery as well. I had nearly 13VDC to
spin the starter. Only fuel in the tank was 100LL. Took a fuel sample,
aprx 8 oz, and found no moisture or other contamination. Avgas stores well.
The 912ULS fired right up after a couple blades, and ran just like it did
the last time I flew.
I changed the oil and filter, Shell Rotella Full Syn and a Fram TG3600.
Normally I use a Fram TG3614, but Wal-mart was out of them. The TG 3600 is
the same filter, but about an in or so longer, giving a little bit more
filter capacity.
Tomorrow morning I will go fly after I check the float bowls and the fuel
filter. This time of the year is the best time for flying here in Alabama.
The photo was taken May 2007, Alvord Dry Lake, Oregon.
