    Subject: Questions about Kolbs...
    Hi everyone, I have been shopping for a good used UL - I am looking for a legal weight U L that is easy to trailer and assemble in the field.=C2- I used to fly the old Teratorn Tierra, and it never was practical to traile r and assemble in the field. =C2-The Kolb Ultrastar and Firefly seem to f it the bill, but I was really interested in what Kolb owners think - I had some pretty basic questions about these: Is the Ultrastar or Firefly with a 447 really under 254 lbs dry weight? =C2 - Do they fly well? does the landing gear hold up for off-field operation? Has anyone flown both Ultrastar and Firefly to compare how they handle? Do you like your Kolb? =C2-Any bad things about owning one? What is the actual dry weight of a Firestar I or II with a 447 or 503? =C2 -Could it ever be 103 legal? Thanks in advance for this info, or for any advice you may have... Jeff Craddock Lakewood, CO.

    It seems that the tail tube on my FSII attracts mice at my country hanger. I have collected one in the shop-vac and another with a sticky pad under the back seat. The first one left a nice 5" hole chewed into my cabin cover. That's when I knew something was amiss. I don't like the idea of mouse urine on my rudder and elevator cables. I'll get some mothballs over there soon, couldn't hurt.
