I have a full windshield on the Fire Fly that I  bought, living in Florida, I think that I would like to have the shorter  windshield to use in the summer. Can some one send me a template for the shorter  one, or hints on how to construct one.  Thanks  Pete

Chris, I would prefer to keep the long one for cold  weather and have a short one for the hot Florida summers. I live in beautiful  Down Town Homosassa Fl.  I would be more than happy to pay shipping. Where  are you located.  Pete

Sorry to hear about your glider mishap, soaring is  a skill that I have not honed, and as you know, the Fire Fly does not glide  well.  Pete

Pete,



...I would prefer to keep the long one for cold weather ....



I wasn't sure where Homosassa was in the tall state of Florida so I looked it up on Google Maps. Now I see why you need the long one for the cold NORTH Florida Winters .  Just kidding. Many years ago we visited my mother-in-law in Cocoa, Fl during the "winter" and there was ice all over her orange trees. Pretty rare but it does happen.



do not archive

We started with the short windshield and moved to full enclosure also makes it a little faster.  Not sure why but the wind blast is not like riding a motor cycle, it more violent and turbulent.  It actually is more tiring.  Also if you have cool mornings, its much cooler.  One thing it is pretty easy to switch back and forth.  The Firefly is a fun little airplane.  Hope you enjoy your new ride.

Hi all,

Chris I've seen the [disabled from crash] msg in your address several times, however did not know what it was all about untill today.

I wonder if you or anyone  on the list knows how many people have been killed or seriously hurt in Kolb A/C?

I,m not trying to be negative, But I would like to know the facts. If someone knows the answer but dosen't want to talk about

it on line please contact me off list.

 Go to this NTSB Query Page:

  

 http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/query.asp

  

 Expand the search dates from about 1970 to  date.  Search for Kolb or any other combo you can think of.

  

 I am sure some of the accidents with injuries and  fatalities are not recorded here, but this is the best place I know to get some  of that info.
