If I might add something in here without answering your question directly. I

have flown the CGS products and have a fairly good knowledge of them. Don't

buy a CGS product. 



It is not that they are bad machines, I enjoyed flying the Hawk a lot, it is

just that they are not anywhere near the quality of Kolb products. I think

your customer support will be better through Kolb as well. Make sure you sit

yourself in a Kolbra as well. If you are anywhere near 6 feet you are not

going to do well up front in a Kolbra.



Structurally, there is no comparison between CGS and Kolb.



Just my worthless two pennies...

 Hi

 

 My name is Len, I am still trying to make up my mind between the Kolb Kolbra

 and the CGS Hawk Arrow...

 

 What would be the Maximum prop diameter to use with a 582 and ebox on the

 Kolbra?

 

 Len

Thanks

I am exactly 6' and weigh in the order of 115kg (240 odd pounds, I

think?)... 



Just to make sure I understand your point, as English is not my first

language, you say the Kolbra is a tight fit up front...How about this in

comparison to the Hawk. I can get hold of a Hawk to fit but there is not a

single Kolbra is South Africa, only two Mark IIIs, 1 Slingshot and

apparently a Firestar and Firefly that I can not locate. 



Kind regards

Todd you have taken the words out of my mouth there shouldnt even be a 

question of what is a better plane just take a look at the design & Construction  of 

each of them and this should answer your question
