Subject: | Re: Kolb Slingshot |
Guys
Need this plane like I need the other three that I have...but...a
deal is a deal!!...so...going up Sunday morning for pre buy
inspection..I have dibs till then...
I told Dean to call if someone calls and wants to head that way
before hand with cash in pocket...therefore giving me first refusal...
the 582 has 500 hours but fly's strong...
If I buy it and very likely I will, I may want to replace the
engine...though I have no qualms about flying a high time 582... :-)
I understand that the wings will not fold if a 912 is mounted...?
How about the HKS as an option....naturally I would look for a used one
in either case ...:-) Do not envision using the rear seat....Herb
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. Jimmy Young

Another slow news day one day later but this time good. In the first link a
local columnists in the same paper said no need to regulate........
http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20130130/COLUMNIST/130139968/2256/NEWS?Title=Lyons-No-need-to-regulate-risky-behavior
In the columnist's blog site a knowledgeable pilot shared his viewpoint
very good but unfortunately few will see it.
