I received an inquiry about my Mk III via "private message" last week from a lister
who is looking for a very clean Mk III that he can feel comfortable flying
his wife and kids. Can't seem to find the address. Hoping that he received my
reply.
If not, please resend your request.
Thanks, and clear skies to all!

That would be me. I am new to the site but have been lurking for a while.
I have been reading up on the Kolb line of aircraft and leaning toward building
my own.
It is obvious one can save a ton of money by buying this particular plane.
I will PM you again.
Thanks

wife and I weigh about 400 lbs (total weight of course) ahead of the cg and yes
the nose is a little heavy, but I always have enough up elevator to make safe
landings. I would recommend the Rotax 912uls (100 hp) for max performance and
the added weight aft of the cg to offset your weight if you are concerned about
it. I have my weight and balance sheets on file if you are interested.

If you would like to see any of these videos they are here on my youtube

I just would like to see what kind of a seat you have in your Kolb Firestar II..
I am 6'2" and 260 and I sat in one recently and it seemed like i was leaning way
back is that normal? I won't bee needing the room for the second seat since
I am to heavy for passengers..
I hope to see some pics of your seat configurations..or any ideas on how to make
it more comfortable for me..
I tried to ad a pic dunno if it worked or not..... my wife told me I looked like
a bull in a china shop...lol
Thanks
Larry
