I want to be able to fly more times of the day then that. > Wes, I have found that if my back does not come off the seat and if my rear does not move relative to the fuselage, I am comfortable flying in unstable air. I use a five point seat belt harness. See: http://jackbhart.com/firefly/firefly78.html The original FireFly design used 15 inch chord ailerons which were impossible to deflect at cruise speed. On cross country flights this ensured you arrived with a sore shoulder and an upset stomach due to continuous dutch rolls to pick up the falling wing. By shortening the aileron chord to 9 inches and reworking the aileron actuation mechanism, I am able, by using two fingers on the stick, to keep the wings level in rough air at cruise. See: http://jackbhart.com/firefly/firefly26.html With these changes, the FireFly is a good rough air flyer. Aileron response is excellent and, it forward and side slip very well with little stick pressure. When I am going some where, I cruise at 2,000 to 3,000 feet agl where I find the air smoother and gives me more options if the engine quits. The roughest art of the flight will be climb out and let down. I keep the speed around 40 mphi and only worry about keeping the wings level. I can take a lot of bouncing as long as I feel that I have immediate control response. Flying comfortably in rough air is an acquired skill. I developed it by flying the pattern, starting with quiet wind days and then flew additional flights on days when the wind was progressively higher. Jack B.

See two of them on barnstormers with 912's for sale. I am still atleast a year off from purchasing anything but am trying to get informed. Are there any other sites to find classifieds for small airplanes like the KOLB? Also, what do you think the percentage of Mark III's have 912's on them?
