While looking at Standard Category airplanes that fit the LSA category, I
ran across this oddball. I don't think many were made...

Sure is a weird place to put a tailwheel! I vaguely recall seeing a
picture of one of these years ago, though I certainly never saw one in the
flesh. Wouldn't be surprised if any that remain were converted into
"normal" taildraggers, really can't see any advantage to that configuration.

But do you trust the _government_ with semi-automatic assault rifles?

Not quite Kolb-related, but -- years ago in Powell River BC I saw a
'broken-back' looking plane with a fuselage like the belly-dragger.
Was told it was a "Luscombe sedan", 4 seats. Must have been the
"Silvaire Sedan'? Model 11? I never saw one before or since . Anyone
know anything about these?

I'll bet that would turn on a dime.
Ground loop prone perhaps as well in stiff x-winds.
Its more of a backwards tricycle gear kindof rather than a tail
dragger.
I though with this threads title it was going to be about us beer
drinking Kolbers....

Russ,
My first airplane ride was in a Luscombe 8A. The fellow who took me up later owned a Sedan. The were really neat planes. Had roll down windows like a car. Not many were made. One was for sale on Barnstormers a while ago.
