Right on. So go to Lowe's, buy a 5/8" grounding rod and use it, it's what I used
on the MKIII years ago, since the MKIII has 5/8" axles, and I expect the FS
does too. When you get done, take it back to Lowe's for a refund.

Yes, I remember the year Patrick and Windy Ladd (sp) visited us at the
Unplanned, Unorganized Kolb Flyin, Monument Valley, Utah. Think that
was probably 2006/7???
Hi John,
That would be it. I remember on the drive to Santa Fe looking at the
GPS in the car. It read `In 150 miles Turn Left`
Thats America.
Have a good meet.

Hi all,
I have apparently been hacked and a number of messages waiting in my

If anyone thinks that they are due a reply from me please let me know.

The thunderstorm season in East Tennessee is nearly upon us... Do the
honorable thing, sir....
Select some irreplaceable thing to protect...(e.g., the Missus... or your
Kolb)... Drive the rod and secure the
strap.... Then hit your recliner and rest easy that honor, fair play and
Lowes were all served well...
Tech note: If you elected to ground the Missus vice the airplane, you might
need to put the recliner
out in the hangar...fer a while, anyway... just a thought....
Always glad to help out.... As usual, worth what ye paid fer it...

OK - when doing pre-marital counseling, I need to remember not to let either of

Got it!

Good to see Chris A back on the List.
Happened upon a little history and decided to share it with you all. This
photo is me and my FS at the Prattville, Alabama, airport, Fall 1989. What
a difference 25 years makes.

More history. Me and my Ultrastar, 1984. The first airplane I built and
one of my favorites. It was also the first fixed wing aircraft I had every
flown. My test flight was also my fixed wing solo flight. I taxied up and
down the cow pasture airstrip. The pasture was rough with cow pies
everywhere. After a couple trips up and down the 600 foot strip I got tired
of getting covered with crap and beating up my brand new airplane. Next
time I turned around at the end of the strip I pushed the throttle wide open
and took off. It was wonderful to fly again for the first time since I got
out of a Huey 8 years prior. Wow! The Ultrastar didn't fly like a
helicopter, but I soon got used to it. Those were the good old days.

Brother West1m:
To address your repeated question, sir:
The U-shaped tube under the nose was reportedly installed by some builders
to keep the machine from going up on the nose
if mishandled...repeat MISHANDLED. It does not appear on my 1998 factory
Fire Fly plans and, near as I can tell, is not mentioned in the factory
building manual for the Fly as it was sent to me at that time. There is no
such U-tube device on my Fly.
IMHO, if the would-be Fly aviator applies the throttle gradually on takeoff,
uses average to good tail wheel technique, and refrains from stomping on the
brakes while in motion, the U-tube is not required for normal Fly operation.
As I recall, I have never seen it installed on any Fire Fly I have
personally observed. I have no clue about what it was connected to when it
was installed, or how well it did, or did not, work.
If you have safety or structural concerns about it, I advise you to consult
with Travis at the New Kolb Aircraft Co..
Your results may vary. The laws of physics apply. Do what you think
appropriate. Gravity is a bitch who ultimately wins...
Worth what ye paid fer it...

Thanks for the reply! As I have been working to repair the fiberglass nose cone
obviously cracked up from a noseover it looked like something that belonged there.
