I just bought a used Kolb Firestar, that was in my price range.
It has some wind damage from a wind storm that pulled the anchors up, and flipped the airplane over.
Here are some pics, if I can get them attached to this message.
I plan to do a total Re-cover with polyfiber when I replace the damaged 6061 aluminum tubing on the left wing, & tail feathers.
I feel I got a pretty good deal on the plane. It came with lots of xtras. A trailer to move it, Radio & Headset, ESI, and all the manuels.
The 503 Rotax has only 186 hrs on it. Electric start, Oil injection, Warp prop, Tundra tires. New Heel brake set-up, and New landing gear to be put on.
Also got the original plans & building manuel with all the new revisions.
I got my work cut out for me, but when I get done, It will be a pretty good little plane. Would like to save money in the process but I will not cut any corners. I plan to take my time on every step, in detail.
So here we go. I can sure use some advice from you guys and appriciate any and all that is givin in advance.
Sincerely, Chris
Here is some pics, I like the one that was takin before the wind damage
