 Posted: Sun Aug 06, 2006 3:40 am Post subject: Flight Star vs Mark III Classic |
 |
|
I flew a Flight Star a few years ago and now I am flying my Mk III. As
I remember, the Flightstar was a very nice flying airplane with light
controls. My Classic seems stiffer. Anyone, have comments on the
comparisons. Also, has anyone bothered to measure the glide ratios and
minimum sink numbers without power?

Vic, Where are you in Sacto? I'm up in Corning for the repairman maintenance class at Rainbow Aviation. I have weekends off and would love to talk Kolbs.

Stock, it is stiff in roll, but a simple aileron bellcrank mod is very
effective.
