Subject: | Lake Mille Lacs fly-in Part 1 |
We flew the Kolbra to Lake Mille Lacs (Minnesota) on Saturday and it turned out
to be a pretty good winter fly-in here in the northland with lots of aircraft
landing on an ice runway.
Twin Pines restaurant hosted the fly-in. Temps were in the 20's with blue skies
and calm winds.
I will post video of Part 2 tonight.

my eis had a plug on the back that had wires that would allow for remote

Subject: | Re: Kolb Firestar II Cockpit Enclosure |
When we rebuilt N582EF after the crash, we did it this way. It works ok, and it
is very airtight in winter. In summer, you about have to take out the back windows
or it is too tight and you get too hot and stuffy.
We also had to put a padded partition between the cockpit and the storage area
in back to try and reduce some of the noise.
If you have back problems or are not very flexible, you will have problems getting
in and out, and you need to be able to fold and tuck your head to get in and
out.
If I had it to do over, I would have made it about the same in the back, but done
a one piece wrap instead to make it easier to get in and out.
Hope this gives you some more to think about.

Richard,.
Thanks for sharing your photos, looks like a top notch job you can be proud
of . Lots of creative Kolb Firestar modifications. Glad I posed the question,
I've learned a lot !
Boyd,
Thanks....The EIS and dash modifications will come next, I've saved your examples
from an earlier post.

The Kolb Firestar.... What a great tribute to Homer's great little airplane; when

Me BIG headed????
I don't think so (although I may act a little arrogant at times and don't mean
it).
Part 2 is uploading right now. I will post it tomorrow morning. I hope you guys
like these. If you don't want them, I'll go back to "lurk mode". Please let me
know one way or another.
Thanks,

Yes keep them coming please. I haven't seen winter for almost ten years.
Seeing bikinis on the beach every day trumps snow and ice but I do enjoy

Ahhh gees, bikini's on a beach? Here I'm trying to make winter go by quickly making
Kolbra videos for you guys and now you mention "seeing bikini's on a beach".
What's it going to be? Bikini's on a beach or flying Kolbs?
(Rick, I know you are going to say, "Well I have both" ...
By the way, we are expecting a foot of snow here in Minneapolis tonight and tomorrow.
I hope that makes you feel a little better :)

As promised, here is Part 2 of the Lake Mille Lacs fly-in last Saturday.
I fly in ground effect for miles over the lake. Winter is the only time of year
this can be done safely.
