I own Kolb Mk III Classic SN 008 with 912ul (With 224 hours). After a year of upgrades we are a couple of months from being E-LSA. I have 30 hours of sport pilot instruction and have my ultralight license. I am looking for someone with a Mk III that will allow me to ride with them in their plane for an hour or two to help me prepare for the day we get to fly in ours. My LS flight instructor has flown a MK III one time. He feels more time in my plane would allow him to instruct me.  The more information on the handling characteristics I can acquire prior to it being flown would be a big help. 

       We are currently in Rochester, NY and will be traveling back to Florida in mid Sept. Via interstate 81 and 95 in our motorhome. We have the time to make a side trip to fit in a flight if any of you can help us out. 

Thanks

The Mark III Classic flies much like a J-3 Cub except easier.  If you

can wheel land any tail wheel airplane such as a cub, t-craft, champ,

chief, citabria, etc., you will have no trouble landing the Mark III

Classic.  If you have learned to do full stall landings, you will have

to learn how to fix a bend landing gear because the tail wheel hits

first and many times will slam the mains on hard.  This can be avoided,

but it will take some practice.  I have had to straighten my gear twice

and have bought an extra gear leg for quick change out.  They are great

airplanes and very forgiving.  I am anxious to try out the new spring

steel gear from Kolb.  I just learned that they sell one.
