Try this link of one of John Hauck's trips in a Mark III. http://www.alabamaaviator.com/isaa.asp?id=72867 The internet might be your best source for a lot of your questions. However having gone through the same search as you are, In my opinion the Kolb is the best all around option for this type of aircraft. The strength of the craft is among if not the best in the field. It can handle a lot more than you can, and do it well.

It is easy to modify how the doors attach. If Italy law permits, it will be easy to change. You ask about modifying to conventional landing gear arrangement - Please send us a close up picture of how the gear exits the fuselage. Without more information on the present main landing gear, it is difficult to answer. The present landing gear might be something you would like to keep using. However, looking at your picture, it appears that the fuselage is lower to the ground than normal. The distance from the landing gear socket to the ground should be at least 14.5 inches with the tail wheel on the ground. Otherwise you will not have the proper angle when taking off or landing. The aircraft is easy to maintain with little expense. Expense would depend on which engine you are using. -------- Richard Pike Kolb MKIII N420P (420ldPoops) richard (at) bcchapel(dot)org Kingsport, TN 3TN0 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

I have been in similar situations in your country, Italy, 50 years ago, in dire need of a bath room and not getting much results in my inability to speak and understand Italian. The Kolb MKIII is a very good, very strong aircraft. They have been proven in all types of flying conditions and terrain since the first one flew in 1992. My personal MKIII has well over 3,200.0 hours flight time on the airframe. Built in 1991, it first flew in March 1992. I am still flying the same MKIII. It has flown to all States in the United States except Hawaii, most of the Provinces of Canada. Flown in extreme weather, wind, temperature, and turbulence. As Larry Cottrell said in a previous message, the MKIII with endure more than the pilot in rough air. What else can I say about this great little airplane, except that there are many Kolbs flying, like mine, with many, many hours. john h mkIII Titus, Alabama ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 09:52:27 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Kolb MK lll From: "Larlaeb" Am I looking at that picture right? My eyes are getting old but it looks like that is setup as a trike gear but the picture isn't that clear. I haven't seen that before on a MKIII.

Hence there is no fin or ruder beneath the tail boom. Hardly a Kolb anymore. But probably still a solid flyer. No way for us to know the quality of the build without being able to touch and inspect it, Buyer beware.
