AZ Dave/All
Uncle Craig and myself and another good friend(retired DPS heli
pilot/officer) spent last week at El Mirage dry lake bed near
Victorville CA for flight testing and to attend the annual PRA (popular
rotorcraft association). Flight tests went well and soon we will have a
full cowl on the engine. Excellent place to fly. Perfect weather and 6
miles long and 3 mile wide of the smoothest packed clay lake bed.

Tim,
Yeah, just commented on Uncle Craig's reply. OK, (and you know what's
coming) now when are you gonna put that extraordinarily beautiful Firestar
in the air? Like I mentioned to you before, If you and Uncle Craig take
both your birds to Oshkosh or S & F, you'll drive the judges crazy trying to
figure out who to give the Grand Champ trophy to. Those sure are pretty
birds.

AZ Dave,
Thank you for the kind words about our Kolbs. Our primary goal is to
get uncle Craig's plane inspected and registered and test time flown
off. Then we will concentrate on my Firestar II. I plan to start flight
school to obtain my private pilot certificate this fall. We'll keep you
all posted.
Tim/Craig

Congratulations to Uncle Craig on the successful test flight of his beautiful Xtra!! Looks like a perfect place to do flight testing for sure! I agree with AZ Dave that you guys definitely build prize winning Kolbs!! Can't wait to see your FS II. Will it be at MV next year? How far along is it? Post a few pic's if you would. I'd love to see your bird.
I see you are going for your private certif in the fall. I'm interested in your rationale vs SP certif if you don't mind sharing it. I'm working on my private now and have soloed and soon will start the C/C's.... knowledge test planned soon. I have learned a ton of good stuff and have a lot more to learn so I'm happy I took the leap to private. They really drill safety stuff into you for sure.... emergency procedures and practice galore... all good things.
Congrats again to Uncle Craig!!

Jim
Are the "C/C's" you mention cross-countries? I've always heard them
described as "XC's"
Wouldn't be the first time my ancient terminology has been changed
for more modern version ----

XCs are where you go cross county/country and land on x-ed out runways.

You don't on some Baja strips. The X's were made out of three-foot high boulders when I last tried to drop into the old favorite backstreet strip at San Felipe. Landed instead at the way out of town International. Tower never responded to myriad calls.. Fuel tanks there had never been filled, airport was dedicated and never used and dust on the unmarked floor. Toilets clean and of course no paper or water. Nobody home.

Russ, you are right... x/c is more proper.
