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.
