I have a Kolb Firestar II with Rotax 447 that's 12 years old    Check out my blog to see the dolly I designed & made for it. I dislike the full canopy right now in the summer heat    I've made a windscreen    I also have a set of snow ski's for my Kolb #1044   But we don't get hardly any snow here in upper NC anymore    Global warming    Naah... I think maybe the sun is just getting hotter   Or the earth is getting closer to the sun  I had tinted canopies on the sailplane I use to own. That and airvents are a needed item as well. This is my first post to this group. Peace

Hey Tommy,

                    I see you found the place....

 This site has "archives" , so if you need to look up info....there's

alot to pick from....But you'll notice some "clutter"



 So if you post something that you think "is not" worth archiving ,

and concidered "clutter"....Just write , Do not archive , and

the system will see that ......  "DNA" , doesn't work...



 If you notice on the bottom of "my" post , it sez Do Not Archive....

it automaticly puts in on everyone of my posts , because I use it as

a signiture....( nothin I say is worth .02 cents )



                Gotta Fly...

PS  Post some pictures of your plane, we "LIKE" pictures

Hello,



This is my first day on the list.

A friend has introduced me to Kolb, he sold another plane and bought an

"Ultrastar".

I have an excellent classic ultralight, but the Kolb may be fitted better to my location and needs; so I will not walk away from my love easily and without guidance...BUT the performance I saw and read about got my heart thumping.



One brief thing that caught my attention was a comment bay a Kolb owner that the installation of a larger windscreen caused him hassles when he flew; is this generally an issue when retrofitting pods and windscreens to Ultrastars?

Are they very sensitive to wind deflection and C of G?



Cheers,



huronflyer

CYEL, C-IIII
