    If you don't find used legs, give that working man Travis a ring and he'll slick you right up. It's reassuring to know you got the right stuff the first time.

    As far as mounting what is involved? Do I need a new mounting kit? Any idea what they cost? Mike Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=405437#405437

    Mike, I checked the Two Stroke Installation Manual and the 503 and 582 have the same mounting dimensions, 94 mm X 153 mm, so you should be able to just bolt the 582 on. As I said before, if you use an "E" gearbox you have to move the hole pattern aft 3/4" (.750") to clear the starter motor and the rear motor mount cross member on the Kolb fuselage weldment.

    George, For the Firestar the aluminum and steel gear legs are the same. At least the ones I have for my 5 rib Firestar are.

    Jack and Bob, There's an easier way to adjust the thrust line. Run the forward motor mounts short side up, run the rear motor mounts long side up. Takes about an hour to accomplish but you don't have to buy anything. I've set up both a "C" and an "X" this way. It does make a slight difference in decreasing pitch changes with throttle setting. Didn't notice any speed change one way or the other, but it did make a slight improvement in the Kolb Mk III's already impeccable handling qualities.

    Thank you so much. This is all very new to me and I still can't believe I own my own plane. Most people seem to be trying to talk me into going with the 582. My budget is limited but I want to do it right the first time and not be sorry I didn't upgrade to the 582. I guess I have some decisions to make.

    Mike, If you have the 503 it will serve as a good single place engine and you can save your money until you know that you want to do. Your choices aren't limited to just a 582. Flying the 503 for awhile and getting used to the plane will give you more time to explore your options.
