 Posted: Thu Nov 09, 2006 7:56 pm Post subject: Looking for a Kolbra or Slingshot |
 |
|
My name is Richie Mattson and I live in Duluth MN. I tested out a Kolbra recently and really enjoyed it's flight characteristics. I am interested in finding one for sale in the mid 20's with a 912 or one for less with a 2-stroke that I could replace. If you know of one for sale or someone who is considering selling, please give them my number.
Also, I have seen some postings regarding the Slingshot. Could someone fill me in on the differences between these two models. Maybe the Slingshot would work for me as well. I see that there is one for sale in PA. I hope to find a plane and have it ready for winter ski flying by the time snow flies. Also, I would really like to take it to Sun n Fun this April. I really enjoyed my trip to Oshkosh the last 2 years in My Aerolite 103 but need to upgrade for longer trips.
I have been reading the list for a few weeks now and like the hutspa of the members and their zest for life. I hope I can make this happen so I can meet some of you at the fly-ins around the country. The wife has already resigned herself to the fact that I have found a new adventure to pursue so at least the main hurdle is cleared. Now it's down to finding and/or building the right plane. Let me know if you locate one. Thanks for the help.
P.S. Hi to John H. It was great talking with you at Oshkosh last summer. Thanks for turning me on to the Kolb.

Richie,
The Slingshot is built just like the Kobra only with a shorter wing, tail boom and smaller back seat with no dual controls.
Its back seat is a small jump seat like a Firestar II.
It is the fasted Kolb model, and John H could fill you in on its handling manners.
Lurays bird that is one of the finest examples of the model you will find.

I hanger next to the Slingshot in PA. The plane is in pristine condition. The builder/flyer is very meticulous. I know you are in the Midwest, but you won't be disappointed if you would take the time to see this plane.
