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!

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.

My 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. > > I have made several videos with my wife and I flying the Kolbra. She does all the video from the rear seat and yes you will be able to fly yours from the front.

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..
