From: "Ralph B" 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. -------- Ralph B Kolb Kolbra 912uls N20386 550 hours Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=473858#473858 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/kolbra_727.jpg ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 10:27:02 AM PST US From: Richard Girard Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Twinstar Mk I weight & balance? 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.

From: "3benny3" 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! -------- 912ul King Kolbra ;fun plane O300 Cessna 172B ;travel plane Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=473850#473850 S - WIKI - - =C2- =C2- =C2- =C2- =C2- -Matt Dralle, List Admin. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
