Well it may not be a Kolb, but it IS an experimental and a pusher (x2)

-and I got to see it fly today.  A marvelous effort and a beautiful  

flying machine.

72' wingspan,  2 100 hp Curtiss OXX-6 engines.

First one flew right here in 1914

Actually at Old Kolb we built something very similar - but much smaller -

actually about half that size with 2 Cuyunas.  We called it the WireStar.
