got the firestar out of the pole barn today and pre flighted it....gased her up and the 503 fired up on the lst pull of the rope....smoked a lot from being fogged last fall but cleared up and run so good that even thou it was a bit cold I could not resist taking off for a about a half hour of flying around the runway here on the farm...was good to get back to flying after the winter and should get in 2 or 3 days before we get some showers....looking forward to a summer of fun flying in the firestar.....Jswan

Sounds like a good time. Makes me almost wish I had a pull start. Couldn't fly yesterday because of a dead battery. It has been so windy this winter in GA...not very many good flying days. I'm hoping for good weather next Saturday to be able to fly to the Vidalia airshow again this year.

Hi Rick,
have a safe trip home.....give me a ring when you are at Grand ledge and maybe I can meet up for a visit......glad you had a good time at Sun and Fun, saw the pictures of the group...I sure enjoyed the times I spent there.... it was there that I saw a firestar being flown every day that convinced me to buy one....find a place we can camp out for a few days up near Hart and we will organize a get together to fly the lake michigan shore line this summer..weather good here today, will fly some this evening.......jswan

Cristal,
hope you get good weather for the Vidalia air show next weekend....last year some of us kolb pilots here in michigan got together at the fly ins.....was fun....we have a email group to keep each other informed on when and where we plan on attending, worked good....plan on the same thing this year. Weather is always a concern and cancels some of our plans...yes there is benefits to simplicity....my 503 starts so easy I see no need for a electric starter.....and I am 79 years old...I do have a small battery for the electric fuel pump and to power up my GPS but that is all of the modern stuff I have on board.....fly safe....jswan
