Michael, congratulations on a beautiful model of your family aircraft! 'bout
time there was an R/C Kolb!
I have a humble suggestion for the model. It looks like an electric motor has been
installed where a gas engine was originally designed tot be. IMHO There needs
to be a streamlined cover over the engine and wing center section. Even on
the video you can hear the propeller beating against the dead and separated air
on the top center section of the wing. Also put small vortex generators above
the leading edges of the wings within the diameter of the propeller to guarantee
attached airflow into the prop. That buzzing noise is telling you that the
propeller is not making smooth strong thrust.

Seems like great idea. Ive used it on my hang glider and paraglider sails
before it stuck on there really well.
thx
