Wow that is good news. Kind of hard to ignore a $10,000+ cost reduction.
I will be at Sun-N-Fun with my VW powered MKIIIC. I assume you will not have
the factory VW powered Xtra ready by then?
I haven't heard from the two other VW powered Kolb lately. They must be
getting close

I'm glad to here that Kolb is finally building the VW version. I knew they were going to do it after they sold there Yellow bird. I'm still quite a ways off from flying mine. I haven't even covered the wings yet, I'm planning on doing that this summer. I have been working on solar panels in between the plane. The Kolb is all wired and all the cooling issues are taken care of, I think. Being water cooled made things harder to deal with but I sure will have great cabin heat. I also had to make my instrument panel much larger as the supplied pod just wouldn't hack it. It all takes time but it will finally get done. I hope we have the Home Coming to go to this year as I won't be able to go to Sun-N-Fun.

I’m also glad to hear that Kolb will be building a VW powered Xtra next. I was hoping to have some flight time on mine already but not yet. There was some interference with the wings and the engine when folding the wings so I had to address that. Also I was not happy with the original exhaust that I had installed so I changed that. Anyway this weekend is the date to take my plane to the airport and I should have some info to post soon.
Rick, your panel looks great. That is also something that I will change on mine at a later time. It's time to stop fiddling and start flying....<grin>
