Well I guess I will be parting with the Firestar soon to get into a Mk3 Extra Kit I sure am going to miss all the fun I have been having in the firestar But hey I will be back in the air in yet another KOLB before I know it as soon as I get the Extra Built I just feel the extra will be a better machine for the type of flying I like to do, I want something that has enough room to carry all the things I would need for a long cross country so I can attend some of the events You guys all meet at and get the chance to put some faces with some screen names
I will be traveling from Maine to Minnesota and back on these routs I would be happy to meet any of you guys in my travel if its not to far from My trail
Driving Directions from 288 Avenue Rd, Levant, ME to North Saint Paul, MN

Where do you plan to find enough room in an Xtra to stash you gear for a long cross country?

Ellery:
If you are going to build a new one, now is the time to determine how you want to configure it for cross country flight.
Most everyone that builds a Kolb never considers fuel and cargo space until after they get it flying. Then they get tired of flying around the patch and want to venture out on cross country and extended cross country flights. Now they want cargo room and fuel.
As far as the other seat is concerned, I don't particularly like putting cargo in that area. I tried it once. Makes a much nicer flight desk to carry flight essential "stuff".
I would not want less than 25 gal fuel and enough cargo space to stow enough gear to keep me going for a long time.
Looking at the new Xtra, there is enough space for a toothbrush and a couple MRE's.
The open area above and behind the bulk head is a perfect place for a 25 gal fuel tank. Utilizing this normally unused space opens up the lower rear area for cargo. Individual seats that are hinged in the front allow stowage of equipment behind and under the seats. I can get 6 to 8 MRW's and 35 sectionals in the nose of my old mkIII. The floorboard in front of the passenger seat is also a good place to stow a large bag of supplies, tools, and gear.
Take care,
john h

We are on the same page John H. When I rebuilt my firestar I had other intentions in mind and accomplished them Now that I will be building the xtra I know what I want in a long cross country plane Fuel is the biggest but a Baggage compartment is another that I will be adding to the Xtra I am not interested in having the ability to look behind me so that won't be a problem there Cabin heat and some of the things I added to the firestar will still be incorporated in to the Xtra
I cant wait to get started on it
