Hello all, 



Im looking to pickup a used brs from a trike and am curious as to how i would mount it on my firestar II. 



If have seen brs's mounted with what looks like an angles bracket, but it doesnt look like the one im looking at comes with it. Its pictured below.



Would this mount work at all or would the angled mount be needed?



Thanks!

Is the 2nd photo a flying airplane? Looks like the universal bolt is backed out.

The plane is listed is for sale on Barnstormers.At that price it seems like a pretty good deal.



It is a five rib original Firestar however, with a Rotax 503. 

I've seen the plane when owned by 2 previous owners. It was an immaculate Firestar.

Unfortunately according to the add,  it doesn't seem like the present owner will be flying it.

Gene Z/Gang:



Boy!  That brings back some memories.  In 1986, I was still building my FS. 

Drove down to Lakeland for Sun and Fun 1986.  I was drooling on Homer's FS, 

the 1985 Oshkosh Grand Champion Ultralight.  Homer asked me if I wanted to 

fly it.  Told him I only had 385 hours in my US before I destroyed it, and 

that I had never flown a FS.  He said, "Get in John.  You won't have any 

problem with it."  Homer was right.  It was an easy, beautiful little 

airplane to fly in all the UL traffic at Lakeland, for the first time.  That 

flight gave me a lot of incentive to head back to Alabama and complete my 

little bird.



What is unique about this FS is the factory design and colors of the paint 

job.  We had some fun, fun days back then.
