'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.
