I had a ‘small’ problem with the wind on takeoff and now have several parts of a Kolb Firestar II for sale.    Please call me at this # if interested.   I am located at 3LF which is Litchfield  ,  IL.   As soon as I have pics I plan on putting this on barnstormers at a higher $$.

Well, it is kind of a long story and embarrassing.   This happened on my

second takeoff and, to make it short the cross wind was prob only 3 to 6

knots but I was brand new with the kolb and for some reason I took off with

only 1/2 throttle or less, sort of gentle it in the air I guess.   The 503

has tons of power.  (I have only flown 150's, 172's, and my rv 6 (tail

wheel) and never take off with less than full power.  Go figure.)  in

retrospect I should have learned it in a no wind situation.    



I taxied it around, ok there, and when I took off the wind just took me off

runway and picked up the upwind wing.   The ailerons had no effect, I guess

that I was too slow and my friend said that the wing was only 2 in off the

ground when this happened. 



I cant even say that I hope this helps someone else, no one else would be

that foolish.  I will say that on landing when they are done flying- They

Are Done Flying.  



Well, now I have parts.   The cage is bent and prob cant be straightned, at

least not without a lot of work.



I figure that alum alone ought to be worth 50 to 100 dollars.     will

get pics up prob next wk.
