Hi Rick,
The silicone thermal conducting paste has been used by Rotax for more years than
I can remember. It is in the Line Maint. Manual and in service bulletins. Rotax
also says not to use anti seize. Anti seize has no other redeeming quality
other than what it was originally designed for and that was to keep things from
galling or freezing up. It's old school because it was used back when they
didn't have the thermal paste and didn't know anything else. Times have changed
and there is something better. Use the silicone thermal transfer paste it's
better and for the health of your engine.

| Subject: | First flight of my Kolb |
At last, my Kolb Firestar took flight Sat. after 2 1/2 years of the joy of building,
blood sweat & tears. After a few crow hops and a flight around the pattern
on Saturday, I went for an hour flight on Sunday. My baby is a Firesatr II,
Rotax 582, B gearbox, Ivo 3 blade 66". It flies great, cruise speed is 80mph
at 5500 rpm, stall occurs at 40mph.
Many thanks to all the folks on this list, as I researched many of my questions
here. Also much thanks to Travis at kolb.

Now that the Firefly's sold, I am going through the hanger, looking at
anything which might be valuable to some one (other then the data
plate and Airworthiness Certificate!)
I have a 2.25" VSI, and a full helmet, which I will offer to the List
prior to posting on Ebay or Barnstormers.
VSI: Range: 0 - 2000'. Aircraft Spruce has a similar one (10-05500)
for $265, while Wicks has them for $254. Note this is an un-certified
instrument with no data plate or markings, but it does work.

http://www.wicksaircraft.com/catalog/product_detail.php/pid=15322~subid=11458/index.html
First Lister to respond has it for $150, including shipping anywhere
in the lower 48.
Also, any interest in the helmet?
Regards,
Chuck
