Was on a trip that took me through northern VA, so I stopped by to take a look
at this Slingshot.
Looked like a nice plane and seems to be "as advertised" in Bob's message (and
in his ad on barnstormers.com).
Here is a link to some pictures.

| Subject: | New Kolb in the skies. |
I have started taking flying lessons in my new Mark111C. It has a 582, reduction
gear and a three blade prop purchased from Travis at Kolb. Could someone tell
me the proper blade degree of pitch? The rudder requires a trim tab so information
or a drawing would be appreciated. It has been my life's dream (not my
wife's) to own and fly my own airplane. I will be 79 in Sept and hope to be
able to land it by then. I have a qualified ultralight instructor who has given
me six lessons ( 6 hrs.) and hope to get four per week, weather permitting.

Clyde, With a 582 two stroke Rotax engine on a Mk IIIC, propeller pitch
should be set to reach 5900 to 6100 rpm at full throttle while climbing at
45 to 50 mph. You can get a good approximation be setting it while the plane
is tied down (be sure and tie it down at the tail or it will go over on its
nose), then make a fine adjustment after you fly it.

Congratulations! -- GO FOR IT! -- 6 hrs? you shouldn't need a lot more instruction.
I solo'd a Cessna at less than 9 hrs, starting from scratch, and Kolbs are
easier, and pattern work quicker. Try to solo before winter sets in? There's
no magic to it --

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
my mkiii could probably use a rudder trim tab,,, but 700 hours later it
still flies great, I did however put on an aileron trim to eliminate
some stick pressure,, I would suggest flying it first, see what it
needs then make modifications to match needs,,, don't try and outguess
what is needed till you fly it.
