If the BRS was removed it would pass easily at our current weight. You obviously built a nice Kolb without getting carried away with too much paint etc. If Kolb's are built as per the book and care is taken with paint even us on this side of the pond can have a 912, look out mr Hauk I might be persuaded to go to the other side......... if I ever stop loving my Jab. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kirby Dennis Contr MDA/AL" Subject: Kolb-List: 912 in a Kolb.....in the UK...?? > --> Kolb-List message posted by: Kirby Dennis Contr MDA/AL > > > Pat L, and KiwiMick - > > > My Mark-III Classic, with a 912UL and BRS weighs 560 lbs.

Kiwi Mick/Gang: You wouldn't be the first nor the last to get converted from alternative power units. In the same respect, if a better engine came along than what I am now flying, and I could afford to obtain it, you better believe it would be on my MKIII. I love to fly, understanding exactly the consequences of performing it without the best of the best. As long as I can fly, enjoy it, relax, and feel secure, I will keep on doing it. But when the day comes that some factor, me, airplane, engine, etc., is not reliable, then I will hang it up and putt, putt, around the farm on my antique tractors.
