Flying the Kolb FireFly Part 103 legal Ultralight. Take-off’s, Landing’s, High Attitude No Canopy.

My other passion, I brought this video from an old channel of mine and added a little info.
The Kolb Firefly Ultralight weighs less than 254lb lbs and is like flying a dirt bike.

Great video and nice you have a ballistic parachute .... just in case you ever need it ! I've heard many say too much weight and I've never had any problems. Oh well to each his own I would rather have it and not need it then need it and not have it.

[@dadmobile960]

The weight of parachute doesn’t count against weight limit of the aircraft.

[@BlueMax333]

informative walk around and great views!

[@mobileaudioguy]

Love it. That song is great too

[@dadmobile960]

Thanks bro :)

[@patrickmckowen2999]

[@dadmobile960]

Thank you sir!

[@royleevaughn2990]

Real cool.!
Been looking at the firefly for months now. Its time to buy one..
And please tell me the artist of that music...

[@brianvosburgh1720]

I want to hear the details on the .30 cal bullet hole. Really.

[@dadmobile960]

When I called it in to the sherif’s deputy he said it’s not even the first time it’s happened in that area.

[@brianvosburgh1720]

Wings are a big target i guess. I wonder how much fun it would be when the guy in the airplane started returning fire. 😁

[@erniegutierrez1942]

Dig the music too...

[@802sho]

Seeing your legs in that high altitude view really looks sketchy lol

[@dadmobile960]

It was so cold it was unbelievable. I did make it to 10k feet a week or two later. It was July in Texas and I was wearing pants, parka, gloves, hat. The other dudes at the airport got a kick out of it. The part I left out is that I only had enough to climb up haha.

[@learndesignwithdev]

​@@dadmobile960 Noob question!
What's the temperature at 10K and how that affects engine, aerodynamics at that height?

[@dadmobile960]

@@learndesignwithdev it was probably in the 40s-50s. The Kolb with the 447 had no problems climbing that high either. It feels pretty sketchy up that high though, it felt like I was above the horizon in my little plane.

[@a-carpenter9229]

Where can these be bought? The Kolb website doesn't have a sales page

[@dadmobile960]

You would have to call them directly if you wanted one new. They can be found used in good shape for 7kish

[@a-carpenter9229]

@@dadmobile960 it's pretty cool you can get up in the air for that price range. Are there any upgrades that could be done for a bigger fuel tank to travel further

[@dadmobile960]

@@a-carpenter9229 I always kept mine within the FAA Part 103 guidelines. As long as your buzzing around rural areas nobody will care.

[@dadmobile960]

Hangared at grass strip.

That foot wear isn't a good idea.

[@dadmobile960]

Some might say flying Ultralights isn’t a good idea either!
