I agree with Bill. Mine was marked FS001 and I'm sure it was not the first Firestar.

To the best of my knowledge the first Fire Star is in Homer Kolb's hanger in Springville,
PA. I watched Dick Rahill crash it at Oshkosh in 1989. Homer completely
rebuilt the first Firestar not long before he passed. Got to fly it at
Sun and Fun 1986 or 87, then again at the Kolb Farm in 2008 (?). Was powered
by a Rotax 377 originally, replaced with a 503 DC when rebuilt. Also had VGs.

The previous owner did not have much in the way
of information. The plans I do have I bought from Kolb. Like I said. it looks
like I will have to make my own serial number.

Is this a previously registered a/c? If so, the serial number in the
eyes of the FAA is on the registration paperwork. There is no
requirement that it match Kolb's number (the person who registered it
could have called it a <buldername> Blowhard serial number 10,000), but
there *is* a requirement that your data plate matches the registration.

With what I have for information this plane has never had a N number. There is
no data plate or evidence of a N number removal.

If you intend to fly it as an ultralite, all the above is moot.

RE: SN..
Was this ever registered before? Or was it flown as a U/L? If it's ever been
registered, the FAA should have a SN associated with the plane/paperwork. :-)

I cannot see anything on the plane or information given that would suggest it has
been restored by the FAA.

If you know the original builder.. Kolb might have records of who bought kits or
plans? I'm not sure of when they changed ownership.. so that could be a problem,
but might be worth a try. It may not be an issue, if it's never been registered.
I know with a U/L transition to ELSA, it was "pick a number" and put
it on the airplane and related documents.
