TRY a kit fox they really are a nice plane . when I first started flying I asked a Challenger owner if I could put his wing on a kolb Because I wanted a up rite motor with the best soaring wing I could get. thear is a guy building a folding option for a challenger as well. Chuck really cant promote a folding wing because they all will bend or poke a hole in something if they are operated wrong. I cant think of a folding wing plane that has cables running the flaps or ailerons. What good is a folding wing if it makes a plane too wide for a trailer?or too unstable to role around in a hanger /because you need something to hold the wing tip from dragging on the ground? malcolm michigan ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 05:04:44 AM PST US Subject: Ultralight-List: Re: CGS Hawk Arrow II folding wing option upgrade??

If you have a cloth covered wing which has detached the cloth from the top of the ribs it will balloon out like a PPC. This will cause a great loss of lift, not to mention speed.

From: "Reggie Deloach" RANS offers folding wings on the S-12XL. Having had several RANS products (including the XL) I have never folded the wings. To fold them is easy. To keep them from damage when folding is the problem! RANS will tell you that folding is easy, securing is hard. Kolb has been identified for may years as the "folding wing" flyer... My current ultralight is a Rotax 277 powered MAX 103 (TEAM). There are quick disconnects for the ailerons and four spring held pins hold the wings on. If I just MUST remove the wings it takes 5 minutes. The rudder and stab are bolted together and then to the airframe. This would take time to remove, so I normally don't. red :} -----Original Message----- From: owner-ultralight-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-ultralight-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of grantr Sent: Monday, September 17, 2007 4:53 PM Subject: Ultralight-List: Re: CGS Hawk Arrow II folding wing option upgrade?? Thanks Red, As I said Chuck did call me back. He did not recommend the folding wing option because its not any easier than taking the wings off plus the wings can and do get damaged when being trailered with the folding wing. He also said that the wings can be removed or attached in 20mins . So it doesn't sound too bad. I think kolb says 10min fold time Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=134910#134910 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message ultralight-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Ultralight-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/ultralight-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/ultralight-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.
