FYI: My Kolb is still for sale. It will be on Barnstormers tomorrow, but wanted to give everyone one last shot at it.
I can no longer provide the TLC needed for it
and I won't be around long, so I need to sell it quickly, so I'm putting it up at a bargain basement price:
MkIIIC -- N# 553RL (certified as an eLSA)
234 hrs TT Airframe, Engine & Prop
100hp Rotax 912ULS
Always hangared
2 six-gallon tanks
Electric fuel pump
Airspeed gauge
EIS with engine info
BRS Chute (expired)
Intercom
Odyssey battery
3-blade Warp Drive prop
hydraulic disc brakes
Thomason stainless steel exhaust (no springs needed)

Price: $17,000
This price includes a fully enclosed aluminum trailer. The trailer has four brand-new tires on it, with a spare. The lighting has been re-wired and has been checked and works fine. The trailer jack is both electric and manual and works fine. It is ready to be towed away. Extra photos of the trailer are available. The price includes the trailer, but if you don't need the trailer, the price will be the same.
The plane is located near Waller, TX (37XA : Skydive Houston).
Full-disclosure issues:
I have not flown it much in the past couple of years, so it does need some TLC. Currently, the gap seal needs repair or replacement. The other issue is that the original builder did a sucky job with the hydraulic brake lines, and right when my life fell apart I had just torn up the aluminum floorboard to get at the brake system (he riveted the entire floor!); I never finished the brake repair or replaced the floorboard. Bottom line: the plane flies very well, but without brakes you'll need to land it on grass until you get the brakes repaired. I have flown it and landed on my grass landing strip and used the grass taxiways without any issues with stopping. (To be specific, the discs, pads, lines are all good; it just needs a reservoir to be added, connect the lines and then an air purge. It will also need a new floorboard.)
If you are handy and can address these minor issues, this would be a great (and easy)
project. But i
f you aren't into experimental aviation maintenance tasks, then this might not be the plane for you.
If I can't sell it in the
next two
weeks, it will go back into hibernation mode until I get back to town (at which time, I will try again to sell it).
Please contact me off-list.
