Will be putting these items on ebay if you guys don't want them, but thought I
would give you guys first crack.
The 503 has 200 hours TT since new, the PTO end piston seized on initial break-in
run and was taken to 1st oversize. No problems since. B box, 2.58:1, electric
and recoil starters, includes a Warp Drive prop. Came off a Moni motor glider,
so the prop has been shortened. Includes exhaust system, modified to fit the
Moni. $1,000 plus shipping
Bendix-King KX99 handheld. Battery holds a charge very well, includes the wall
charger, $50 plus shipping
Terra TPX720 handheld, modified to mount in the panel, runs off the 12V aircraft
electrical system, no battery box or antenna included. Works good, but I upgraded
to a newer radio. $50 plus shipping.
Sensitive altimeter, works good, $50 plus shipping.
Also have a canopy for a Moni Motorglider, any reasonable offer plus shipping.

Subject: | Firestar 2 Progress, slow but continuing |
John H and Kolbers,
I realize full well that the oil cooler installation I described is "outside the
box" and not common. You will have to trust me that I did NOT do it this way
just to be a smart aleck (although I'm usually guilty of that too).
My first idea with the cooler was exactly as John H described... vertically mounted
at the rear of the fuselage cage. Would have been easy-peasy. But this created
two problems. First it would require longer oil hoses to go back and forth
between the cooler and the engine AND the oil tank. The HKS manual specifically
suggests keeping the oil lines short. Second, the exhaust will be running
through that same area right behind the cage. I wanted to keep any oil leakage
or seeping from the cooler away from exhaust components for fire safety. More
importantly, mounting the exhaust system directly behind the cooler would impede
the outflow of air through the cooler, reducing the effectiveness of the
cooler.
Nothing would have made me happier than being able to mount the cooler to the airframe
only. But the engine mounting structure/configuration of the Kolb was
done with the Rotax 2 stroke engine in mind, and adapting another entire class
of engine to it creates all sorts of problems.
Another recent poster (and a whole lot of previous posts) was 100% right... leaving
the 447 on it would have been much easier. But I have a good reason to want
a 4 stroke engine, and I have to put my nose to the grindstone and do what
it takes to do things right.

I don't know that I fully understand the way you have mounted the oil cooler.
How about posting some photos.

Yeah, I figure I owe the group some photos after getting everyone all riled up
again :)
I will borrow a camera Saturday if I can't find mine.

Subject: | Kolb Firestar 2 kit For Sale |
This is a reminder for the Kolb group that I have a partially completed Firestar
2 kit project for sale. This can be sold with or without a low time Rotax 447.
Had to promise the wife that if I bought a completed Firestar I would sell the
kit project that I had been working on.
I'd rather keep it and build it (was enjoying the build), but a promise is a promise...
especially with a 12 gauge pointed at my head.
Sell or trade.
