Kolb list folks,



I got my Firestar back from Jerry Olenik at Greensky this past weekend with the new HKS on. Lot's of driving, but looks like it was well worth it from the installation job he did. I flew Wednesday late evening, & it demonstrated  lot's of power and proved to be very quiet. Flew some yesterday, mid-day in some very sloppy air, and about 1.4 hrs. this morning till the heat & winds got up again. 



I'm getting a good climb rate of about 650 - 700 fpm. Haven't seen that in a very long time, and it really gives me some confidence in the air again. I've got a 66" 2 blade Powerfin prop mounted. I've posted a couple of pics.

Hi Jim,

Glad to hear you are up again. We need more kolbs in TX. I think you  

will like your HKS I've had very few problems with mine (at) 80+ hrs.
