I was not aware this HKS700e engine was being used on a Kolb Firestar.

"Here are some photos and a video of my Kolb Firestar with HKS engine. The aircraft is being flown from my 600 foot pasture air strip at the 4,000 foot level on the west slope of Mauna Kea on the "Big Island" of Hawaii. The engine is running well.

Regards,
Dave Bigelow"

  Dave- I've seen your plane before, and it still shows quite a bit of dihedral.  Did you make it that way?  How about cross winds?

I forgot about that, John. Sorry- probably the medication. What happened to that plane? Still wondering about the dihedral. That video gives me a little more confidence in my plan for a field up in Vermont. I have around 700 feet by around 200 feet to play with, with a clean drop-off at both ends.  Lined up with the prevailing wind, too. I have to have it cleared, filled, and graded. The timber might pay for it.

I would be curious to know what became of this plane and HKS engine, Anyone know ?

BTW.. This is a great website with great feedback, for a Kolb rookie like myself who has some catching up to do. Of all the times I ran into Homer at Oshkosh I wished I had taken the time to take a snapshot of the guy.

Bill S/Gang:

I started flying off 600 feet in my Ultrastar 26 years ago.

Stretched the field to 750 feet, flying the Firestar, with no brakes, and the MKIII with passenger, off it. Fairly good approach and departure. Elevation 410 MSL.
