Hello everyone,



 



My name is Diego Ospina I live in Colombia and I'm the proud owner of a Kolb

Mark III Classic that I bought from the old Kolb Company.



I have a question for those of you who have installed the Full Lotus floats

on the Mark III; I have seen many pictures where they have installed the

1220 model on their planes, however Full Lotus recommends the 1260 which is

heavier, longer and costs a bit more. According to your experience, what

model of floats should I order? I also want to know if there is a bolt on

float kit for the Mark III on the market



 



Thanks and good flying



 



Diego Ospina

Hola Diego,



I have been to Columbia several times, and lived in South America for 3 years.   I would love to fly a Kolb in South America, it is an incredibly beautiful place.  I hope you are flying a Rotax 912 though, because you know an off airport landing in Columbia could very well be fatal, and not because of obsructions   



What city are you in ?   Im guessing Cartegena if you are wanting floats     Its good to see someone from down south here on the list, I hope you can post pictures and stroies when you start flying.  Bienvenidos a la lista.

Thank you for your post Michael



I wish I had a 912. I have a 582 but I haven't had any problems with it yet

(200 hrs.). I live in Medellin but I don't fly it here, I have a farm in the

northern part of Colombia not very far from Cartagena and that is where I

like to fly - lots of open space and beautiful scenery.



I will post pictures of my plane once I have it on floats
