I know nothing about building wings and covering. So, was really thinking of used or ready to fly new. I know new is really expensive. I figured even a firefly would cost close to 30k Then I would have to have a trailer built. So, can I save a significant amount of money on the Quick build over the ready to fly? Or should I just buy a used Kolb and forget even trying to buy a new machine? Robert Lobdell Waskom, Texas Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man. Landing is the first! ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 06:49:04 PM PST US From: Larry Cottrell Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Quick build verses ready to fly Your cheapest avenue would be to buy a used Kolb. The firestar's will run about 10K Mark III's16K up. Just be careful and hold out for a good one.
