 Posted: Wed Aug 27, 2008 4:25 pm Post subject: Kolb MK III Xtra For Sale |
 |
|
I hate to do this, but I am putting my 2007 Kolb MK III Xtra up for sale, AIRFRAME ONLY for 17,000 dollars, or 36,000 flying with Rotax 912, titan exhaust, and Warp Drive Prop. This Kolb has just about every option that can be put on it. This plane is currently flying, never damaged, always hangared. For the price of a MK III Xtra Kit with these options, you can buy the complete airplane.
Attached are some pictures.

Someone asked me why I am selling, it is because I need to build an IFR capable airplane for the bad weather I am constantly encountering here in South Florida. The Kolb is a wonderful VFR airplane with unmatched visibility, but I work and cannot always chose when I fly. Attached are pictures of some of the weather I have been encountering

Mike- This is the sunny paradise people retire to? When were these taken? How did your Kolb handle it? What would it take to convert yours to IFR? Just curious.

Mike B:
I looked at the photos of your weather. Looks like normal summer weather
anywhere in the SE.
That's just like summer weather at Gantt International Airport.
If you want weather, try the NW part of CONUS, or Texas, NM, UT, ID, for
that matter. We encountered a lot of bad weather on our flight west in May.
I had some hellacious weather in Mar flying to and from London, KY, from
hauck's holler, alabama.
So..........you are going to sell your VFR airplane so you can fly IFR for
pleasure???
Not me. Bad weather doesn't last that long. I flew in it for 5 days
returning from Larry Cottrell's in SE Oregon. Heck, I thought it was part
of life.
I like my flying as simple and fun as possible. When I get to the point I
can not see where I am going or the wind is blowing beyond my capabilities
or comfort zone, I find me a little strip somewhere and take a nap until it
is over.
Take care,
john h

Very well said John, I agree with ya. I like the view at 500 to 2000
feet. Flying in a cloud or through bad weather is not fun for me. I was
forced down trying to fly through a thunder storm flying a Cessna 172 and
had to wait all day at the airport for the storm to move out. I just did a
180 and got out of it and landed at field I had just passed over. Flying is
supposed to be fun and flying a Kolb in good weather is fun.
That's my view...

Florida is a sunny paradise. All but maybe the last picture looks like a Michigan clear and mostly sunny day. When you live in a area where there isn't a cloud in the sky for weeks to a month at a time you begin to think of that as bad weather. I spend my winters in Florida and can't believe the way Floridians act. One little cloud in the sky they call it mostly cloudy. They also talk about wind chill when its in the low seventies! If it drops way down into the sixties we see them walking around in winter coats with hoods up and gloves.
A good IFR airplane is supposed to be a plane that will pretty much flies straight and level through turbulence with your hands and feet off the controls. A Kolb will never be a good IFR airplane. Sporty and responsive doesn't make for good IFR. My enjoyment of flying is visual if I can't see the ground I don't want to be flying.
Mike, all kidding aside get the plane that makes YOU happy.
