What is the difference between aerolite 103 and this one.Is driving the same in both of these?

[@kevinoconnor164]

Your about half an hour from me. I live on a small lake in white lake. I'm working on getting a firefly on floats. I'm looking for a used one since the kolb factory is not taking orders at this time. Any leads to where I can find a firefly? I was talking with a guy from Kansas yesterday who is selling his, however it's been in an accident. It's a pretty big project.

[@bkairys]

Barnstormers or the fb Kolb group is a good place to look. I don't know of any local ones for sale. Hard to find!

How do I get into ultralight? What kind of license is required? Things like that?

[@bkairys]

No license needed for Ultralight in U.S. However this is a N numbered Experimental aircraft..

[@parkerowens8555]

@@bkairys what makes this a number aircraft vs ultralight? And what kind of license is required to fly this aircraft?

[@bkairys]

@@parkerowens8555 Sorry got my Videos mixed up! yes this is a FAR part 103 design. No license required but training is very important! Flying is serious business! Search "FAR Part 103" for Ultralight Rules.

how did you get single pole wing strut? my FF has 2 each side...

[@bkairys]

The builder used a h brace inside the spar like a firestar has. Both struts are joined together to form one.

I’d like to more about your camera mount swivel system.

[@bkairys]

Its a 360 stationary camera. The swiveling is done in the video editing

Sweet

[@FourthWayRanch]

do you really need brakes on the grass?

[@bkairys]

They are very effective. Landings half as long.

@@bkairys say you wouldn't have heard how guys change the jetting on a skidoo 503 for the UL exhaust would you? I got a 97 formula sl engine with miluni vm34 carbs. stock jetting is 170 / 180 I think it needs to be leaned out maybe, I got a lot of smoke at 4000 rpm and doesn't want to rev higher. EGT around 9.5
