I have an interesting story and question regarding the Slingshot for sale
with the HKS. For those that do not know about it, it is the former Kolb
factory demo plane, that was sold with the 912 to someone without enough
tailwheel time, and was "cartwheeled" in a ground loop, requiring a wing
replace and other unknown damage-- at least that is what the owner in
Alabama told me when he had it listed without an engine a little over a year
ago, but was very sketchy about the details. It looked great in pictures,
but I thought it was not worth the 16 hour drive in person only to be
disappointed. I have seen too many Kolb's after being repaired that I would
not own with hard to notice, hidden damage. Now for the question, does
anyone have 1st hand knowledge of the repairs? It just so happens that I
called and talked to Jerry about putting a HKS on this very plane when it
was for sale last year, which is probably how it came about that he found
it. Now that it's all together, I find that I may again be interested that
the hard work is done.
