A very light thin walled piece of tubing solved the Firestar II weak frame issue.

Gerry,
Hands down..... the Kolb Firestar is probably the most fun aviation experience
you will most likely ever have. [ But the little Kolb is a bit frail in
places.] But nothing that can't be resolved if you are resource full.
I flew nearly two hours today and shared a heavy thermal with a bunch of rising
corn leaves and a couple migrating hawks within fifty feet of me . My little
Firstar II moaned and groaned a bit but the seat back brace never bent a
bit this time.
And Remember....... :)

My new plane has oil injection and i have never used oil injection befor so im
getting used to topping it off. it looks like my last 2 nites flying four short
flights 4 landings and take offs with taxing and such I burned 9 gallons
gas in 2.2 hrs and used 12 oz of semi synthetic oil.
Is this a safe amount? of oil for that many gallons of fuel over that time on the
tiny tac?

Oil injection runs proportionately to the throttle opening...Good
thing...lean of oil at low speeds and likely 50 to 1 at elevated
rpms.. notice the lever on the oil pump... it has a linear function... Herb

I flew yesterday morning to the Jordan Craters Lava Flow. I had flown there
before we moved here and wanted to get some videos of the area. It is an
area of very nasty places to not go down in, and while my engine and plane
did not let me down, it has been a trial getting it so that you could see
it. I am not sure if it will run all the way through or not. Please be kind
enough to tell me if it does not.

Doesn't that come out to 96:1?
Is that right?

That`s the ratio I got, when I did the math. (96/1) Seems a little lean
on oil to me. I took my oil injector off my 503, so I could install an
electric starter. I premix 50/1, so I`m not sure if an average of 96/1
is good or not. As Herb said the amount of oil injected varies with RPM.
Still that might not be enough oil. In order to average 96/1 it has to
be running at an even higher ratio at some throttle settings. That would
make me nervous. Lanny FSII

I guess I don=99t understand =9Chigher ratio at some
throttle settings=9D seems that the oil injector has an
actuator that is linked to/with the throttle....when you are at idle,
there is only a small amount of oil being injected,,,, when you are at
WOT the oil injector is pumping more oil,,, but the ratio of oil to
gas should be constant. more throttle =more gas and more oil
less throttle=less gas and less oil....but both should be a constant
mix..... the only experience I have had with oil injection was with a
snowmobile.... when the injector failed for the second time,,,,, I
removed it and went to pre mix.
