Hi Richard
Think I have it this time...
The white tail feathers and boom tube and the blue/black fuselage on
the gear are what is being sold...plus the wings in the previous pics
along with engine and prop...Pretty much sum it up? Herb

2 blade Ivo in excellent condition.

Cage is excellent. Instruments will be included. Nose bowl fairing not
included, it is going to our Firefly project. Two damaged nose bowl fairings
included, I have figured out how to repair them, but now I don't need to. You
can fix them if you wish. Or Bryan will be glad to sell you a new one.
>
> Landing gear is straight, includes cable brakes. Previous owner modified the
axle/gear leg fittings to make them stronger. (?) Your call. Factory upgrade might
be an idea...
>
> Boom tube ~ Since the FSII uses the latest quick fold mechanism, we are taking
the boom tube and tail assembly from this airplane and grafting it onto our
Firefly project. So you will get a Firestar boom tube and tail assembly from an
original Firestar. As best we can tell from the plans, there is no difference
in the tubing sizes or dimensions of any of these parts. If anyone on the list
knows different, I would be glad to be corrected, however, this is how I see
it to the best of my knowledge.

> The original Firestar used the original Kolb tail folding mechanism which is
not as convenient as the current mechanism. It would not be terribly difficult
to upgrade the tail to incorporate the current tail ring, vertical tail post,
and elevator control system into the tail boom and elevators, but that is your
call. I do have the elevator actuator/cable attach mechanism which can be included.
I do not have the tail ring/vertical stab assembly or the elevator inserts,
you would need to get them from Kolb if you wanted to upgrade to the newer
system.
>
> Or if you don't need to fold the tail on a regular basis, this system will work
just fine.
>
> By next week I/we (my partner & I) will have migrated the FS boom and tail to
the FSII cage, & the FSII boom & tail to the Firefly cage (all the dimensions
are identical) and I can post pictures of that, but right now it is a slow night
and I am bored, so I'll get things started now with just a few pictures of
the wings.

> $3500 for everything. No N numbers, no registration, this is a pure basket case
sale, and the buyer will be signing for a collection of unairworthy parts of
unknown description. Everything has been de-skinned, no plumbing, fabric, wiring,
Lexan, fuel tanks or cables. (Scrounging is good)
> You will be buying in effect a KOLB FSII (mostly assembled kit) that needs to
be recovered, wired, plumbed, and totally rebuilt, registered, etc. but signing
a bill of sale that says you are buying a collection of unairworthy junk.

No tire kickers, price is firm.
