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.

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. https://vimeo.com/45984093 The password is "owyheeflyer" Larry -- *If you forward this email, or any part of it, please remove my email address before sending.* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
