Hope I am still flying when I hit 80 , much l ess planning a trip such as yours!

As I look back 35 years ago, this month, when I bought my first Kolb kit, every d ay was a new day of building, modifying, experimenting, and making mistakes. The cross country flights were virgin territory everywhere I went. Most i mportant the lasting friendships from people I met along the way. Most of t he people I know, I met through these little airplanes. > > I have one more adventure to get under my belt before I settle down. Next month I turn 80. I plan to celebrate my 80th year by cruising the Great Lo op https://www.greatloop.org/ . It is an approximately 6,000 mile route alo ng the waterways of the Tombigbee and Mobile Rivers, Gulf of Mexico, the Atl antic Coast, Hudson River, Erie Canal, Lakes Erie, Huron, and Michigan, the I llinois, Mississippi, Ohio, and Tennessee Rivers, and finally the Tennessee- Tombigbee Waterway back to Demopolis, Alabama, where I plan to start my trip . I'm also going to try to visit Fort Hamilton, where John Wilkes Booth was imprisoned, on the Dry Tortugas, 75 miles out of Key West, Florida, while I am in that area. Entire cruise should take about 2 to 3 months depending o n the situation. I do not have a schedule to follow or dead lines to meet. I may make this an annual affair until I get too old to enjoy. ;-) > > Then I should have time to get started on the Memories of a Retired Army A viator. In fact, writing would be a good pass time for the days, maybe week s, of getting weathered in with nothing to do but polish Grumpy, my 25 foot R osborough RF-246. Should have plenty time. I don't plan on doing too much p olishing on Grumpy. > > To keep this Kolb oriented, I plan on meeting Marcus Kolb when I am in the Philadelphia, PA, area.

I have all the engine info, and the builder manual for the Firestar, but it seems to be lacking any parts info that would be pertinent to ensuring correct parts/assembly and replacing anything I may need to. I will be looking for some Kolbs next month @ SNF when I go, but would like to see if anyone here can point me in the right direction or if anyone has anything that may help. Emailing Kolb didn't get a reply, but didn't pursue it further, yet. Thanks for any help, hope to see some of you @ SNF, and any help is greatly appreciated, Thanks, Steve -------- Kolb Firestar new to me Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=487980#487980 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
