The Kolbra is nothing more than an oversized Firestar with a big engine. It just
flies faster and can run circles around any Firestar. I'm surprised there aren't
more out there as it's a great flying airplane.

Charlie, Set the horizontal stabilizer level. As for datum, it doesn't
matter as long as you're consistent with your measuring and you don't get
minus and plus measurements if your datum is somewhere in the middle of the
plane. I use a point 20 inches in front of the nose, that way all numbers
are positive. You could just as easily make it 20 inches aft of the tail.
It doesn't matter.

Yeah I haven't been able to find much on the kolbra's. I have #15, I believ
e it
is the king kolbra model because of the wider nose? From what I can gather
there
was kolbras, and king kolbras same but with wider nose, but not really sure
.
I really like the overall design though. Good luck on the build!
