It is circa 86', no special mods except what was recommended. Took the ole girl down to her bare bones, checked every weld and everything else for ware and tare. Used light stits on tail section and heavier cloth on wings. UV proofed, and painted yellow with blue trim. Reinforced bow tips and has the heavy drag strut and half rib. 447 with 100 hours on motor and components. IVO ground adjust, two blade. Reg/Rec and Batt installed. All necessary gauges. BRS canister chute come with it but not installed. Zipper center gap seal and quick fold mechisms in place. Great little flyer, ready for new owner. Has 700 hrs on airframe since new. Full enclosure and short windshield furnished. see at www.homestead.com/southernflyers for sale section. $10,000.00 It is ready for another thousand hours +. Ted Cowan This one is for all you guys like me that like flying around but not to get there. Put the little critter on a trailer (one could come with it) and drive it there, fly it when there and drive it home. No storms to worry about. Hate to even sell it but I gotta pay for my new Slingshot somehow. ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:51:50 AM PST US From: "Denny Rowe" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: SellaMKIII? --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Denny Rowe" by: WillUribe@aol.com > > This is what he is selling, wants $31,000 for it. contact him at > Skywaylodge@aol.com > > It is a Kolb Mrk.

Question... is there any special way the are to be mounted? there are two dots painted on one side of each tire. Are these to line up with the valve stem or something? Do they mount to the inside or outside or does it matter? Most good tires for motorcycles and such are prebalanced and you align a dot up with the valve stem.

Rotate the tire so the dot aligns with the valve stem... this is usually on the outside of the tire... Good Luck..

There is not a more complete, ready to fly, well-equipped Mark III to be found. It has everything, including many, many extras. Meticulously built by perfectionist Ray Baker in Gainesville, FL. All construction documents are available. I purchased this aircraft from him less than 6 months ago and I love this beautiful machine; but my wife, three children and eight grandchildren don't. I'm outnumbered and I guess family comes first. So, it's back to flyin a Skyhawk. The asking price is $31,000 and I'm fairly firm on that number, based on what I have in it, and having researched other Mark III's of this quality. The airplane is hangared at Hidden Lake A/P in Pasco County, FL, just north of Tampa. My name is Herb Lodge, and I live in St. Petersburg, FL.

Travel would be minimal with the possible exception of one trip from Warren Ohio to The Villages in North Florida. Otherwise I will have to fly the puppy down to Fl and I don't have any X country experience.....woe is me....It would be great, but ....I'm too scared....and ...feeble....and ....weak....I think.
