I sold my Kolb Kolbra and still have the trailer, just wanted to let any Kolber's know in case they were looking for a nice fully enclosed trailer. I listed it on barnstormers.

This was my first time at Reklaw and it was a blast, saw all types of aircraft and surprised I was the only Kolb in attendance.

Had a real good flight over the weekend playing around down low over the river on the way to a pancake breakfast. I took some video so I thought I would share with the group. (nothing fancy as my vi ...

My wife hates flying. I have taken my kids, brother and a friend in the back.

Yeah, well, I got lucky on that one, dont watch any of the other landings in the other videos.....multiple touchdown points.

I liked the shadow landing too, that is the only reason I put it in there. Did not realize it until I watched the video. That is the lowest I have flown down a river since 11/2011 Nauga trip.

Figured I would share my latest video. Went flying down the river last night. It was hot down low but it is more fun closer to the ground.

Do you have any deflectors in the back of the scoops or only the front?

I had some of the same problems a few years ago and here is a link to my thread, it has some pictures also.

I have never flown in the back of the Kolbra, because I always fly from the front....but, I have flown my brother at 205# on a few occasions without any complaints.

Now the downside, unless you are ...

Sorry, dont know how to make the quotes in blue like the others.

I cruise between 75 and 85 depending on rpm setting and how I want to push it. this is with a Jabiru 2200. I usually fly around 80 as an average middle of the road rpm/airspeed.

I took a x/c from central LA to Arkansas with some members of the local EAA club last weekend. Since I have my new camera I decided to take it along for some inflight video. I sliced a bunch of it ...

Rick,

Mine is not a Mk3 but instead a Kolbra. I uploaded a video yesterday to youtube. This is a flight I took yesterday at 1075 pounds. The performance degrades due to atmospheric conditions an ...

Best of luck in your search and I hope you find one, just remember there were only 28 Kolbras ever sold.

Just got back from Nauga 2011 today and thought I would put together a quick video on youtube. I spent more time talking than taking video so I did not have a bunch to splice together. I had a go ...

Just got thru watching the Ultralight News video by Dan Johnson on the new Firestar Side by Side and I thought I would share with the group in case nobody had seen it. Seems to me like they covered i ...

Nice video, I wish I had some scenery like that around here. Is it normally that quiet in your cabin. It sounds like you could hold a conversation and the engine noise would not be that bad. In min ...

Here is my take.

I have a Kolbra with a Jabiru 2200 and it is the only experience I have with the Kolb line. It works and I get decent performance but I do not get the spectacular performance numb ...

Count me in too, I do plan on coming.
