Sailplane wings, which without doubt are the most efficient wings in the air are long and narrow.. This gived the exact opposite of your suggestion, a very extended leading edge to main spar area. The area from the main spar to the trailing edge is kept to a minimum .

No "innocent bystander" has been hurt or killed by ultralights. Now I don't know how true the second sentence is but the first one seems to agree with what your inspector is saying. I believe it was Jim Stephenson of ASC who made the comment in one of his seminars.

"The Most Experienced Pilot" at the MV 2004 get together and to listen to some advice, experiences and just maybe a little Bull stuff. Az..

Not many have ever been completed. Those that have been completed have done a good job of killing most every one that has flown it. This is a airplane for high time fighter pilots and few others. There have been quit a few on E-Bay. I might consider buying one for a ornament for my hanger or runway.

The FF will definitely be there this year! Looking forward to it!! Jim Hefner Tucson, AZ FF#022 DO NOT ARCHIVE I picked the 20-22 May to allow several Kolbs to make the SWRFI Fly-in on the weekend after Mother's day and allow still not be out over the Memorial Day weekend. The 20-22 May also lets the weather get a week better before some of will have to cross some mountains known to have WX issues earlier in the month. I still purpose that we hold our 3rd Annual Kolb Gathering at Monument Valley, UT (UT25) on May 20-22, 2005 and will keep a tally of what the possible attendees prefer. John Williamson Arlington, TX
