Subject: Kolb-List: 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.

I rolled out Dart today to check on the fire. The visibility has finally
cleared up a bit. It was quite windy, but since it was early, it was only
just faster one direction more than the other, and my crosswind strip while
pretty short, was right in line.
I have been having some issues with my oil pressure in my HKS after a
recent oil change. I replaced the recent oil filter with a new and
different one, and had thought that it had helped. I had only flown some 12
miles when the pressure started fluctuating enough to cause an "alarm" from
my EIS. Not wanting to walk back through a charred landscape, I turned tail
for home, so the video is not as extensive as I would have liked it.
The Kolb however preformed flawlessly as usual, and while the wife thought
my landing was one of my best, it scared the crap out of me. My depth
perception is not the greatest, and a 10 MPH headwind had me a bit slower
than I really wanted, but the Firestar made it look easy, and a little
throttle at the right time kept us high enough to clear the fence and touch
down like a feather.
