| Subject: | Save weight with Oratex fabric |
Hello Kolbsters,
If you need/want to save weight on you project, you should consider using Oratex
fabric. It is not the cheapest way to go, but it is pre-painted, non toxic and
available in two weights. Both weights are lighter than normal painted fabric.
All the winning planes in the open category at the Valdez Fly In, are now
using Oratex to drop weight.
Enjoy,
Nick Cassara
Palmer, Ak

I have just added over 50 airport cafs (and still growing) to current listings
in the Airport Courtesy Cars website and app (just in case your courtesy car isnt
available when you arrive!) These listings are highlighted in red so you can
easily find them. If you have any additions or corrections, please email them
directly to me at airportcars101@gmail.com. Thanks and Happy New Year! Glenn
PS, Submit your ramp fee's experience also for inclusion in the website/app!

> Is the Ultrastar or Firefly with a 447 really under 254 lbs dry weight?
I recall weighing my Firestar I, it came in at ~180 lbs with no engine or
prop. Or instruments.
> Could it ever be 103 legal?
I can't see any way, unless you come up with a super light engine of some
sort. Maybe something like the MZ201 (69 lbs) incl. reduction, electric
starter, exhaust. But you'd hafta add the prop, battery, etc. I've seen em
fly just fine on the Rotax 377, but that's 85 lbs. My 503 is right at 100
lbs I believe.
I can't comment on the rest of your questions.

Sorry to butt in on an ultralight discussion.... you Ultrastar and Firefly guys
NEED to check out the Polini and Simonini engine websites. There are many many
many pounds of weight to be saved by using the later engines from the paramotor
community. There is a very good chance you will have more power, LESS WEIGHT
and higher reliability by using one of these newer engines. ANYONE trying to
meet Part 103 needs to be familiar with these engines.
