I saw a picture recently of some skywriting and I was wondering if anyone has ever written in the sky with a Kolb?

Can't see why not, if you put a smoke system on your motor. Might make a mess on the prop though, most planes with smoke systems are tractors.

I get a smoky mess on my prop anyways, but wondered if the prop would mess up the writing itself.
Also wondering if it requires any special training and/or aerobatic maneuvers.

Shouldn't require any aerobatics, except tight turns perhaps. I know it requires careful planning (time and turns) though modern GPS would probably make it a lot easier.

I used to have a smoke system on my Hummer with a Rotax 277. If there is any interest, I'll go into the details of how to make one.

Cristal,
EAA's magazine SPORT AVIATION, Feb.2010 has an intro bit on skywriting, The Write Stuff...
Alzo... the EAA forum page below has more leads and ideas like GSP.

Good luck.
Aloha,
Henry

i can remember sometime back,,, 12 years plus or minus,,, kit planes had
some information on smoke,,, seems it was in the Dick Starks,, Dawn Patrol
series. some of those old articles were good reading, weather you found
smoke or not. i don't know if the old issues were on the internet or not.
