Herb,
Although I don't see any pictures when I bring up his ad, Steve Green is
identified as the owner. So, in answer to your question, yes, it is his palne for
sale.

Kinda surprised... Maybe he is selling to buy the MkIII extra that
the Kolb factory has for sale?? :-) Both look to be pretty good deals...

Very interesting thread, here is my experience - in a MKIII, if you are making
a typical Kolb wonder climb, the first thing that has to be dealt with before
you can even think of making a turn back is getting the nose down. With our high
thrust line, if the engine barfs when you are in a 40 or 45 mph full throttle
climb, it only takes a couple seconds for the airspeed to fall to zero, and
the resulting stall is quite a dandy.
So I got serious a couple years back about occasionally practicing "engine barf
recoveries" at altitude. My experience is that if you are in a steep full throttle
climb and snatch the throttle back to idle, you need to immediately go to
full nose down stick and even then the airspeed will go to about zero.
Meanwhile, the airplane feels like it is simultaneously decelerating and rotating
around the main spar. (It's actually very cool) Once the airplane has transitioned
to about a 45 degree nose down attitude, it begins to accelerate, and
it doesn't feel like it actually stalls. Probably it does, but it's not apparent,
because of the odd rotation it is doing.
At this point, as soon as the airspeed indicator passes about 30, (because it is
accelerating very well) I have found that if you go to either a maximum deflection
right or left turn (keep the ball centered) and begin your pullout, you
can do a course reversal and level out in around 200 feet. Best I ever did was
160, but that was primed and ready. In actual "surprise engine barf mode," it
would probably be closer to 250 feet.
As Beauford says, Worth what ye paid for it.
