Kolb people,
I have been kicking around the idea of building a scale Kolb model airplane. I'm not set on a particular model,
any of the various designs would be okay. (Firefly, Firestar, MkIIIC or X, Slingshot, Kolbra....all
good contenders)
Has anyone, or do you know of anyone, who has measured ANY of the Kolb fuselages, and various
structures, like wings, tailfeathers, etc., and come up with a set of scaled plans. Depending how much
information there is, if I can get it close enough, I may try to make it RC controlled...or at the very least,
it would make a nice home office hanging ornament.

No, sorry, I design in my mind, just built a slope soarer in a day.
An RC Kolb sounds good.
