 Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2012 2:25 pm Post subject: First flight of my Kolb |
 |
|
At last, my Kolb Firestar took flight Sat. after 2 1/2 years of the joy of building, blood sweat & tears. After a few crow hops and a flight around the pattern on Saturday, I went for an hour flight on Sunday. My baby is a Firesatr II, Rotax 582, B gearbox, Ivo 3 blade 66". It flies great, cruise speed is 80mph at 5500 rpm, stall occurs at 40mph.
Many thanks to all the folks on this list, as I researched many of my questions here. Also much thanks to Travis at kolb.
