    Hello John, G'day from Colorado! I live near Denver and fly an Ultrastar out of Erie airport (KEIK). I would send the list a picture of my plane but don't know how... I am a retiree and I'm returned to aviation last autumn after a 30-year lapse, and I spend most of my flying practicing tailwheel landings. Its challenging flying as my airfield is famous for crosswinds, but weather here is otherwise pretty good if a little cold. I fly using a snowmobile suit when its cold. Come summer (assuming lifting of COVID restrictions), I plan to do cross country flying to see the rest of the state - Colorado is really quite pretty. USA general aviation flying seems unaffected, but I only see solo flying being done, which is a good thing as its good social distancing. In general, the USA did not take COVID seriously and now is a mess. We have the worlds highest COVID death toll. Some US cities ignored White House baloney and went under stay at home order much earlier - San Francisco did so in mid March and has stayed healthy. Like Australia, the US economic situation is pretty bad. Amazingly, a few US states are still 'open for business', which improves their economic situation some, but seems like insanity to me... We still don't have toilet paper in stores here...Kudos to Australia for doing it right! Jeff CraddockLakewood, Colorado

    Jeff Craddock, I see you are a guest. This forum is about Kolb aircraft and not for political comments. Please put your opinions about the White House on another forum. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=495847#495847

    Hi John, What an amazing story you have and so much fun! Thanks for sharing it all. I have just finished building my Firestar II here in West Australia and am now test flying the 25 hours from our club field at Bindoon, a bit over an hour north of Perth. (https://superlight-aircraft-club-of-wa-inc.business.site/?m=true ) I had never had a chance to fly a FSII when I bought it at the factory, so it was fortunate for me that one of the very experienced and capable club members was my 'test pilot' for the first 5 hrs, as required by the RAAus. I'm also prevented from flying because of the inter-regional travel restrictions, but making the most of it anyway by catching up with other things/projects at home. I only have just a few hrs flight time on the FSII and just love the open air amazing view - like riding a motorcycle through the air. Some photos attached, including the 'alternative' panel (and pink flying socks) which a friend of mine suggested :-) Cheers Steve
