Good Afternoon,
I am new to the matronics list and appreciate reading everyones
commments. My question is this: I want to build a Mark IIIX. On
barnstormers.com there is a set of Mark III wings and tailfeathers for
sale. I could save a lot of money by buying these wings and then buying
the fuselage kit from the factory. I spoke with the EAA and they said
that I should still be able to apply for and get the FAA repairman
certificate once it is all put together.
Is this a good idea or not?
Would I have any problems matching it up to a different fuselage?
Are there considerations that I am not aware of?
I would appreciate your input and experience.
Sincerely,
Arran Addington

Only real match up consideration would be the holes drilled in the root rib
flange which aligns the wing to the fuselage. A good welder ought to be able
to replace them with some virgin steel to drill your alignment holes
through. Otherwise, unless the workmanship is poor, they ought to be a good
deal. And if you decide to go get them, stop by on your way if you like, the
MKIII is currently in the garage for some updates, and I only live an easy 2
miles off Interstate 81.

Arran,
My Kolb is built from some parts from a damaged one and the rest ot the parts were bought from the company. It saved me a lot of money.
One thing that you may want to check on is if you need ownership of the serial number and the plans. When I did mine, old Kolb would not sell parts to me unless I already owned the Kolb that the parts were going to be used on, and was registered with them as the owner. I don't know if new Kolb has the same rule.
