Hi Dana:
Did you know that Kolbs are not like any other aircraft? Kolbs are in
a class by themselves. They are special. They fly better, and
satisfy my every aviating desire. That is why I fly them.
When I see PPG, I think of Pittsburg Plate Glass.
PPG's are those little things at Sun and Fun and Oshkosh that eat up
the best flying time during the day, while the ULs and light planes
sit on the ground.
Guess if I didn't want to do anything but try and keep my suspension
lines straight and out of the prop, and make it nearly all the away
around the UL traffic pattern at Lakeland and OSH, I'd be chomping at
the bit to be a PPG guy.
The neatest thing about a Kolb is the amount of time, effort, and
money, we put into our projects. Then the years of great flying that
our little airplanes provide us for all that work we put into them.
My old bird is 15 years old now, but she flies like she did when she
was a baby. She takes me where I want to go. The airport perimeter
is only the beginning. She has carried me and my gear for as long as
48 days, all over CONUS, Canada, and Alaska. She has nothing in
common with a PPG, glass or parachute.
I, personally, have nothing against PPG's and powered parachutes,
other than eating up good flight time at the two biggest airshows in
the world. They just do not appeal to me and my style flying.
Kolbs do it!
