Sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. The forms you need
are FAA form 8130-6, sections I, II, and II. Form 8130-12 Sections I, II,
and II and notarized in Section IV. Have AC f ...

Met the FAA inspector at the hanger this morning. Real pleasant guy. He
took around 45 minutes looking over the plane and asking questions. He
said he really liked the Kolbs because of their si ...

PS
He also sent me a check list of what he expected to see on the aircraft when he visited.

When I submitted mine two weeks ago, I contacted to FSDO in Columbus, Ohio. I spoke with one of the inspectors who was quit helpful. He took my email address and sent me the packet for applying for ...

Thanks Richard. I down loaded it for future use. Now I have now excuse.

First of all, I want to thank Mr.Pike for resizing these photos so I can share with you all. Thank you Richard.

Richard, I will need to down size the pic's. How do I do that?

Sent all of my paper work in to the FAA in Columbus, Ohio last week
expecting it to take a couple of months to get a reply. Well, low and
behold, 4 days later they call and setup an inspection fo ...

Great video as usual Larry. I know you've tried the camera mounted almost everywhere on your plane. How did it do on the center wing section, was
the vibration too great? At that location seems yo ...

Forgot to mention, I am running a b-redrive with 2:58 reduction/

I sent the 503 out for a zero time rebuild to Heaven Bound Aviation in Johnstown. After looking at the prop, I found a few nicks and bruises on it and would like to replace it. What is the best prop ...

That would be me. I will be there. What time are you flying in?

Good job Richard. Did you take the 'fly' down or the mk III?

Don't have a head but curious about the 'fly'. How is it turning out, final weight and flying characteristics? Got mine in hanger doing final assembly and rigging.

I did not. Vince had 3* in it when he flew it. If you check the archives, he did a pretty thorough write up about this. Richard thought that the struts I got were the original per plans struts. Whe ...

Thanks guys. Without this forum and some good tips and advice from Richard, Vince and Ted, it would not have been possible. I just hope it flies as good as it looks.

Last Dec., I purchased a trailer full of parts from Mr. Pike. Thank you Richard. I have had a ball rebuilding this thing into a sweet little plane. In two weeks I will take it to it's resting place, ...

I have the 6 gal tanks that Kolb sells and also the pickup tubes. They reach the bottom easily.
