Dennis,
Sounds good, but I'm really afraid of heights... and it might take a while
- it's a 447....

be dropped at all:
What if .... when the engine quit, instead of dropping - You could get out
and work on the engine to try to get it restarted -

Meet the new mighty V4 "baby block" engine
1650cc liquid-cooled V4, 185 HP
Can I purchase a V4 Baby Block engine for a different application?
Yes, we will offer crated engines once they have completed durability testing and
become available in 2013. Pricing, drawings, and specifications will be announced
soon.

Brother Davis,
I think you will be very happy with the way your Fly will handle.Mine is a
ton of fun. As for the 447, they are known in some
circles as being a tad cantankerous at times.but when alive, they put out a
lot of power for their size and weight and make the
Fly a snappy performer. I'm still considering the movement.. will advise.
Good luck with your building.

BEAUFORD, Thanks for the comeback I was afraid I jumped into the middle of
somthing . Now if =0AI can find a 447 I can afford ! I have been considerin
g every different type of power fro Wankel to electric=0A=C2-but they are
all too expensive so I guess a lowtime used 447 is my best bet? Chris=0A

Brother Elliott...
T'is mathematics... count the number
of spars in the wing....(3 for Kolb,
w/one central huge main spar, v.s. 2, one front one rear, for the Rans) and
the amount of 4130 chromoly
steel wrapped around yer arse...(a complete welded 4130 cage in the Kolb,
v.s. riveted aluminum tubes in the Rans).... and suddenly the math works
out.
i.e. .... Would you rather be dropped from the third deck sitting in a
Reynolds-wrap hammock, or a Mosler steel safe...?
If you prefer not to be dropped at all, contact me off-list.... Am starting
an anti-447 working group...
Worth what ye paid fer it...

Kolbers,
I'm making this post on behalf of fellow Kolb owner & pilot Dean Chandler. He asked
me to let the list know he is moving from Kentucky to Florida and has his
Kolb Slingshot for sale. He would have made the post himself, but lives so far
out in the boonies he does not have internet access.
I first saw his plane back in 2007 at the Kolb Factory reunion. At the time I knew
nothing about Kolbs or flying for that matter, but we stayed in touch and
I have a few photos of his Slingshot on file which I am attaching. He told me
the 582 engine has over 500 hrs, well past TBO, but according to him it still
runs fine and has flown within the month. He is asking $6500 for the plane. It
is N359RC and has an A/W certificate dated 1999. When I last saw it, his Slingshot
was one fine looking Kolb.
Dean's ph# is 606.305.7870. If anyone is interested, he asks that you give him
a call.
