 |
|
Today I completed a journey begun 10 years and 6 months ago. I just returned
from Boise,Id with the Airworthy certificate for Kolb Firestar II 6080M. It
has been a long and difficult task. Primarily because my "Bullshit" filter
kept clogging up and side tracking me from the task at hand. I ended up with
E A B, because when I began this process that was the only thing available.
I blithly thought that the difference between getting it registered as a
"Light Sport" and EAB was a non event. Then the fact that Oklahoma mispelled
my name on the registration as the builder, was to me a non event as long as
I was willing to accept their mistakes. Alas that was not to be either. I
was required to get a new one with the right spelling. Then the paper work
that would allow me to get it Light sport was misplaced for a month while I
was off hunting. I just bit the bullet and said ok EAB it is, I didn't want
to wait the extra time that it would take to get it right. Truth be known I
do not ever see me selling it anyway. An additional plane would actually be
a likelier possibility. I will now have to fly off 40 hours on a plane that
has 374 hours on the meter. That isn't a big deal either I guess. Now that I
have completed my journey with Arty to the Texas border and back through MV,
45 naut. miles seems just right.
I now have a certificate that allows me to work on light sport planes if I
own them, (aprox $500.00 bucks when it is all counted.) Will have a
"repairmans Cert." for EAB. Inspection today cost me $350.00 and I assembled
it in his driveway.
