 |
|
To the Kolb list:
I am modifying my newly bought TSC trailer and I need the wheelbase and tail wheel dimensions for the Kolb Firefly. My Firefly kit is arriving soon (my 2nd Kolb), and I'm laying out the trailer in the meantime.
Can anyone out there with a Firefly give me the spread between the centerline of the tires and the length to the tail wheel? Also the length to where you are currently supporting the tail boom for transport.
Much obliged!
Phil H.

Thanks. That's my 1988 Twinstar. No canopy, nosecone, enclosure, just bugs-in-the-teeth flying. I miss it very much. I'm at a point in my life now that I have my own little home in Tennessee, I'm totally gearing up my garage into a shop (on the dirt-cheap), and it's time to fly again. I live RIGHT next to Dallas Bay Skypark - 1A0 - and I have my Firefly on order; my 2nd Kolb - I get it in a couple of weeks.
But right now I sure could use some Firefly dimensions! The plans have none for the cage or landing gear.
I keep my ICON IC-A5 on in the garage and listen to the guys out at the field. The Kolb is, hands-down, the winner in my book.
I'm keeping my new Firefly 103 legal. I get the kit(s) sometime around Thanksgiving weekend. At some point later I might fab my own nosecose and fairing.

Hey Phil,
Sorry, I don't have the dimensions you need. I do have one of those mid 80's vintage Twinstars with no canopy or nosecone over at the Collegedale airport. You should come check it out sometime.

Excellent! How often do you fly? I'll be looking forward to some trips over there by air to get together to fly; you, me, Bob G, Scott K...

Looking forward to it Phil. I've only flown once so far (last week), but plan to fly maybe once or twice a week.
