My Slingshot has the EIS controls in the joystick grip, the two mag switches on the left side of seat frame, and the starter switch and electric elevator trim switch on the right side of the seat frame. -------- Thom Riddle Buffalo, NY (9G0) Kolb Slingshot SS-021 no engine FOR SALE Diamond Katana DA20-A1 Rotax 912 F3 Don't worry about old age... it doesn't last very long. - Anonymous Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=395671#395671 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 07:01:06 AM PST US From: "Ron @ KFHU" Subject: RE: Kolb-List: How do you transport a Kolb home? Easy to do with the large Penske truck. Was planning to move my M3X to Fla from AZ and the Kolb fit just fine in there with room to spare. Rent the truck move your Kolb and turn the truck in. If you get a trailer as others suggest it can be used as hanger. If you have a hanger the Penske is a great way to do it. Be ready for some big fuel bills, its a thirsty diesel. Ron @ FLL ===================== Folks, How would a guy transport a Kolb home? I'm considering purchasing a Kolb from several states away but am stuck on how do I get this thing home? Any suggestions?

Makes me want to go mix some gas for the FSll. Lanny Thanks Lanny, I've been slowly learning how to make a video. It's a new hobby of mine. After the flying is done for the day, it's fun to share and watch it again on the big screen. I'm in the process of training my wife to keep the camera straight ahead and not wander off. She is getting better at it. The HD videos are the way to go these days. The viewer can see everything in full detail and get more out of it. As time goes on, I will get better and better at it. If any of you guys have seen Damien's videos, they are very good. He tells the story of his trips. I'm trying to follow his example, but I have a long way to go: http://www.emuvideo.com/videos.php Ralph -------- Ralph B Original Firestar 447 N91493 E-AB 1000+ hours 26 years flying it Kolbra 912ULS N20386 200 hours Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=395687#395687 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 09:51:55 AM PST US From: "Nick Cassara" Subject: Kolb-List: Can't reach the Panel... Hello Kolbers, I decided to change out the seat belt in the front of my Kolbra with a retractable seat belt, so I could reach the panel. All the Cub pilots in this part of the world have them. I bought mine from the local aircraft parts store. They are not cheap.around $300, but I figure the freedom of movement is worth the price. The one I bought is sold by Amsafe of Phoenix. It is not installed yet so I have no pictures to post.
