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...

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.
