Your aluminum gear legs will hold up just fine until you drop it in. You should
do your first flights in the mornings or evenings when the winds are less bumpy
than during the day. I have a Firestar II with added Stolspeed VG's, they have
made quite a difference in the way it handles when close to stall. Mine stalls
at 28 indicated, down from 35 and it just mushes now. I also fly another
Firestar II that has just gotten it's air worthiness cert. It flies the same but
the landing are quite different. It stalls at 36 indicated, and it stalls abruptly.
At altitude it sounds like the prop is starting to lose its grip and
bang, the nose drops quickly. This is where you practice, practice, practice.
!000' up is the only place to learn how the plane acts when it stalls. Down on
the runway, stalls get expensive real fast. This second Firestar has gone thru
the latter. But with a new wing and aileron, landing gear and some really good
workmanship, she is back in the air.

Here are the weight and balance sheets for my Kolbra (see attachments).
I have lots of flying videos (over 100) of the Kolbra.
You can see them here:

Hey thanks! Looks like the weights are very close, I guess with the 912 vs the
582 it was designed for it is just gonna be toward the back... I'll weigh it again
and double check all my arms maybe, noticed your mains were 1.8in where as
mine are -1 which would make a difference. Where is your battery located, and
how did you go about mounting it there?
Thanks for the w&b sheets and I'm already subscribed, not much out there really
on the kolbra...

I'm using an Odyssey PC680 battery and it's located in back of the passenger seat.
There really isn't much info on the Kolbra. I don't think many were built.
