		  Hi AllI bought a beautiful factory built Firestar / 503 with 45 TT. The only fixed wing training I have is 6 hours in a C140 tail dragger. I am now  starting to take additional lessons in a Piper Cub. Before soloing in the Firestar I would like to experience the handling of a Kolb which would make me feel much more comfortable. I live in Western Washington state. Does anybody know of a possibility to have some training in a MkIII or similar in Western Oregon or Washington ??Your info would be appreciated.Thanks a lotAldo not archive

Hi Alfi,



I have a Firestar II and found it to be very docile and straight forward flying planes.  The Firestar has light controls but not sensitive. 



I suspect that when you can solo in a cub then you will be pleasantly surprized in a Kolb. Just make sure the weight and balance checks out and do a thorough pre-flight.



I also have a Maxair Drifter (single) that I fly and it is similar to a Kolb but alittle slower to respond due to all the flying wires.  If you cannot find a kolb two seater around, you might seek out a two place Drifter to obtain some dual on. It is a tandom arangement like a cub. 



I have flown the Challenger Two place, and it is no where near to what a Kolb is like to fly.  They tend to be sluggish by comparision and the rudder feels somewhat vague at times.



Those are my opinions and if you need some help just, holler ....
