I have been listening to you guys bicker about VDs or something for too long
now. I think you have just about covered it. If someone wants to try them,
try em. I dont care. I am of the consensus that they probably would not
help my Slingshot much and besides, I trailer my play pretty often with wing
bags and I think the porqupine things would cut up the bags. I would like
to express my discontent with your statement that your Kolb flys better than
anyone other. I beg to differ. You need to ride with me in my Slingshot.
It is not for everyone but if you want intense, hot action or just lazy,
kick back fun, this is the plane for you. I can boost it to a hundred mph
or fly at sixty (might have to deploy a little spoilerron for that), can
safely land in less than two hundred feet without even braking a sweat. Can
climb like no tomorrow and cut a corner like a fine tuned sports car. Dont
know if it can slip cause with the spoilerrons, it comes down very nicely
and lands on a spot. ( I have won several spot landing contests). Now, I
do all of this at an average of 3 gals burn an hour, packed, extra gas, and
heading to Florida coast at 85 mph. I go throught bumps like a hot knife
through butter and afternoon risers are no match for my 22 foot wing. Now,
bring on your "flys better than any other kolb" aircraft and we will see
what is better or not. Maybe you are just not the pilot you think you are
or want to be. By the way, I fly or have flown at least ten of the
ultralights of the days and many, many LSAs. I have never found one of them
that would hold a candle to my little slingshot with my 912UL. So, I will
be at the Kolb Homecoming in September and I will expect you to be there
with bells on and we will put the two together and see what the crowd
thinks. I am up for the challenge, are you? Put your airplane and your
mouth where it counts. Ted Cowan, Alabama

Don't hold your breath!!! His type never put up! Just run their mouth
when they feel safe from harm.
