John, I just saw something where you mentioned a "Hauck landing gear" on the Kolb archives. Did you make a taller or different landing gear for a Kolb? I want to put taller legs on mine in order to have a better ground angle for STOL work. Among other STOL mods.

Homer Kolb was a brilliant aircraft designer, among many,
many other talents. On top of that he was a true
gentleman and a very good friend.
I've built and flown a few Kolb models. Still flying
my MKIII I built in 1991. It has nearly twice as many
flight hours as you have. No one else has ever flown
my MKIII.
Welcome to the Kolb List. If you have a question that
I can answer, I'll be glad to try and answer it.

All rib noses and false rib noses should be checked to ensure they fair into/below the fabric properly. You'll need to angle cut/grind the tubes at the tips to ensure a good looking cover job. Covering is most easily done by getting some tobacco bags ( small string-closed bags ), weighted with sand or something else, and then hung on the edges of the fabric ( sping binder clips ) to drape the fabric properly to the pre-adhesived frame. Will become obvious when you read the covering instructions. Everything else went by the well written plans. No undue surprises. Jim Baker [url=tel:4054265377]405 426 5377[/url]--
