 |
|
Kolb Aircraft has introduced a new side by side two seater Firestar at Oshkosh. I talked with Travis while I was there, and he said it can be configured either as a taildragger or a tricycle gear as shown. He told me any existing Firestar II can be transformed by switching out the fuse cage, as the wings & tail boom & empennage are the same. It has the droop-tip wing fairing as well. This one had a 582 on it, and they said a 503 or 582 is what it's designed around. I'd like to change mine out just for the extra cabin space!
This was my first visit to Oshkosh and I had a great trip. Wisconsin is a beautiful state and unbelievably clean, much cleaner than my home state. We stayed in a U of W - Oshkosh dorm room. I like the north's version of a heat wave, but I wouldn't do well there in the winter. All in all, I had a perfectly good week off doing nothing but airplane related activities.
