Welcome the the List. If you want a Kolb 103, the only current one that qualifies
is the Firefly. The original Firestar with a 5 rib wing and a 377 qualifies,
as does the Ultrastar. Somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I think that's
all of the 103's.
Other people will check in throughout the day, so keep an eye on your e-mail.

Our modification of an original Firestar into a Firefly (Original Firestar wings,
Firefly fuselage) met Part 103 with a 277, now we are using a 377, and have
chosen not to go back and weigh it - it would be really close but - who knows?
(Don't ask - don't tell?)
However, it still has all the original Stits from the 1980's that was painted with
automotive paint as a top coat. If we tore all the original fabric off and
redid it with Oracote I am sure it would make weight.

Forgiving is tough, being forgiven is wonderful, and God's grace really is amazing.
