Just got thru watching the Ultralight News video by Dan Johnson on the new Firestar
Side by Side and I thought I would share with the group in case nobody had
seen it. Seems to me like they covered it pretty good and I hope it sells well
for Kolb Aircraft.

I have yet to test or see the practicality of it, but has anyone either tried to
either narrow the opening in the back so as to create more or equal venturi
effect than exist in the cabin. I agree that the simplest and easiest is to create
a plug at the opening, but since we are experimental why not annoy ourselves
by doing the hard stuff too.

Some while ago a member posted a video connection to some Brit experimenting with
faired and unfaired flying wires the difference in his tests were just as amazing.
I don't remember the link but its well worth looking it up in the archives again.
Elliptical or Tear drop is way more aerodynamic than round.

:D [Shocked] WOW Guys and Gals! When I purchased my FSII it came with two sets
of wing struts, one with fairings and one without. The struts with the fairings
were off a FS that went into the intra coastal water ways, thus salt water.
I was very leery of that so I was not comfortable using them so I have
been flying with the non-faired struts. I was however curious as to what impact
they would actually have. So I removed the fairings from the struts and installed
them on the ones I have been flying with. I just landed after an hour
and a half flight with them installed and WOW is all I can say! Very much to
my surprise they made an ENORMOUS difference! The airplane was way smoother
cruised a good 10 MPH indicated better. The biggest surprise was in glide, best
glide, best as I can figure based purely on feel is about 45-48 indicated.
The difference was astonishing, at lest to me! In a totally non scientific,
seat of the pants, guess, I bet it was 30% farther.!
Now mind you I am guessing here but to not only see, but feel a difference so
significant just amazed me. I'll never fly with out them again! Cruise speed
to jumped a good 10MPH at 5500 and the airplane just "Felt" smoother to me.
WOW! Any way I just thought I would let every body know what a difference
it made on my airplane and highly recommend them to any one not currently using
them! Let me know if you guys have seen such a difference and what else you
can recommend to further improve my FSII. Fly safe and have fun every body!

I have been looking into the Slingshot but have not found much information besides
through Kolb.
Anyone own or have flown one? how does it perform? Is the rear seat even usable?
I am interested in the Slingshot over the other Kolb models because of the increases
performance (advertised).
Thanks

bsrenter,
I own and fly a Slingshot with Jabiru 2200 engine. My normal cruise speed is 85
mph at 3.6-3.7 gph fuel burn. I get 1200 fpm initial climb rate except on real
warm days, then it is only 1,000 fpm. I fly it solo but there is room for a
midling size person in the back. I'm 5'-10 and 205 lbs and the back is not too
tight but probably not comfortable for a long flight.
It is a tail heavy airplane in the sense that the tail on mine has about 110 lbs
on the tailwheel in three point stance with full fuel but no pilot. Slingshots
do not handle on the ground as easily as the short leg Kolbs, partially due
to the longer main gear legs, but mostly due to the heavy tail. Getting some
real tailwheel time (not a Firestar of Mk III) is essential before soloing a
Slingshot.
It is a hoot to fly.

Dennis Thate:
Try to follow the Kolb List guidelines and keep your posts Kolb related.
Helps keep the Kolb List running smoothly.
Are you presently building or flying a Kolb?
I remember you posted many times reference building your hanger door, but
don't remember you sharing your Kolb building and flying experiences. If
you have any, I'd like to hear about them.
I can't speak for the other members of the Kolb List, but they would
probably like to hear them too.
