we can go up to 1320 lbs before we lose our sport pilot privilege.>>
Hi Robert, presumably you are talking MAUW there. Our weight limit is
also MAUW but there is a standard allowance for 2 crew and full fuel and
as the posts were talking about empty weight I did also. Our other
limits are wing loading and stall speed. On our measuring basis with
the Jabi fitted we only got the stalling speed down to our limits by
fitting VG`s. With the 582 they are not needed, although some pilots fit
them just to get that extra bit of control at low speed and that drop in
stalling speed. You can see that although I have no doubt that the Kolb
will fly at a higher weight it will of course put the stalling speed up
and that will be outside our parameters.
I have a 2 blade wooden prop fitted 157cms/98cms
Figures from my last Annual check.
Climb 55mph at 2800 revs. 80 secs from 1000ft to 2000ft
Stall speed. Power off, flaps up 35mph
Natural buffet speed. 38mph IAS
Dived at one third throttle at 95 mph
Max RPM in dive 2700
Get the snow cleared and get flying.
Cheers
Pat

Kolbers- Have been lurking for the last 10 months after purchasing a
firestarII kit from Kolb. Made my first flight last weekend. Needs a
little rigging, I installed an HKS from Jerry Olenik @ Green Sky
Adventures. Can't say enough about Jerry's help as well as everyone @
Kolb & Brian Milburne (sp?) with changes etc. (the plans haven't been
updated since 1996) Thanks also to all the other Kolb builders that gave
helpful construction tips, you know who you are. :)
Looking forward to getting back to the basics of fun flying, most of my
flying career was in production GA aircraft, the rest in high
performance kit planes.
Its already way to fun.... Thanks everyone who help make this happen.
