I'm looking at a plane that is listed as a Mk III. It was originally used as an ultralight trainer and wasn't N numbered until 2003. The current owner knows the history of the plane but because it was an estate sale records are missing prior to 2003. I don't mind which model it I and I'm going through the entire plane.

Mike Kolbers: There is a great deal of difference between a MKII and a MKIII: -MKIII has 6" tail boom and main wing spars. MKII has 5". -MKIII airframe completely different and much, much stronger. -MKIII has flaps. MKII doesn't. -MKIII has unique updated folding elevator control mechanism. MKII doesn't. -Much more room in the MKIII. -MKIII and MKII are not in the same ball park. Of course, the above comments are my own opinion. john h mkIII Rock House, Oregon ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 08:06:44 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Difference between mark II and mark III From: "mike91911" Well this definitely has flaps. Thanks its exactly the type of information I was looking for. Are the specs for early Mk III's similar to current models? Gross weight, cruise speed, Vne etc?
