My wife and I watched the videos on the Kolb website, and she was absolutely amazed at the gentle, slow handling characteristics. She was under the impression they had to be landed at a much higher speed and longer roll-out, similar to the Cessna 150 she had flown. I think the videos are a great selling point for the factory. Slow flight videos are much more impressive to a beginner than a fast fly-by, and a great confidence builder to someone who has never tried it. The repeated slow landings seem to show that the pilot was not even close to a stall at landing. Seems to nullify the VG discussion until somebody gets a tape measure out. Can anyone guess the actual touch-down speed on the slow landings?

Videos
Hi, I could not navigate to the video at the Kolb site.
There did not seem to be a place to register; do you need to be a registered Kolb owner from factory?

In any regard are the videos on "You Tube" or could you suggest a similar video with comparable low and slow scenario?

John,

Thank you very much for giving me the link to the three videos at "You Tube"!
I really appreciate the help.

I learned to fly ultralight on a plane with a very similar landing gear stance to the Kolb. Actually it had shorter mains and required careful flare...
I will send you a picture when I have time.

Cheers,

Dave
