Kolb guys,
With things a little slow, I thought I'd pass on this story I just read on my latest
online copy of the EAA Newsletter.
This is one of the headline stories, and I realize it isn't directly Kolb related, however it
IS about homebuilt airplanes, and a guy that's getting ready for his "first flight". I doubt this
guy has ANY flight training, but it's just a guess.
Evidently, he is in the last stages of finishing building his 'own design'. He did some internet
research and figured that was good enough, I guess.
Especially note the nosewheel as they roll the plane through the gate. It might be an indication
of things to follow. As soon as those cinder blocks show up for him to use as his bench seat,
he's 'good to go'.

Was that a plow frame on the front, or a moose guard?

Bill,
It could have been a poorly located step ladder, like the kind they use on a B25.
Make sure you guys watch the video, that's where his best construction methods are
displayed.

Might be both. The thing is supposed to weigh 1763 lbs. Hope they video the first flight or will that be the first plow. Wow!

Did you notice what appears to be negative incidence on the main wings? The ailerons look
like they were pounded into shape with a hammer.
I really, really doubt he has had any flight training, either!! I can't imagine this one is going to end
well. Too bad, too, 'cause he seems like a nice enough guy. Who knows, maybe he'll pull it off and
fly the thing? Naw! Like Dennis Hopper said in Waterworld; "Only two chances of that happening...
no way & no how!!"
