I do have another plane an d this string on the re-registration bugs me as much as you. So I asked on e of my good friends at the FAA to get the name of the individual responsib le for this process (the "stuckee"). His name is John Bent at the FAA regi stry. Email is john.g.bent@faa.gov and his phone number is 405-954-4331. He is just one guy in the bureaucracy so don't get mad, just express your f rustration and hopefully he can fix the system. -----Original Message----- From: Arksey Sent: Fri, Jan 27, 2012 3:20 pm Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: FAA registration renewal I would think in this day and age we could start a petition using the inter net that we could sign and send on to anyone willing to listen...flying wea ther in michigan is not good for ski's bare ground here...jswan Jim Swan Kolb Firestar ll, 503 Rotax , 6147 Wilcox Rd., Eaton Rapids, Mi 48 827 ph 517-663-8488 GPS GPS FOR MY RUNWAY N 42 deg 28.581 W084deg 44.825 In a message dated 1/27/2012 10:15:44 A.M.

They did install a set on their factory demo Xtra once. As far as making droop tips a common factory option, you'd have to ask them. Call Travis @ Kolb Aircraft. "Some" guys have built their own droop tips. Here is a picture of mine that I made for my plane last year.
