Welcome John,



You must have been on the wrong list then.

We do not claim to be able to prevent suicide, but I've been on the  

kolb list a long time and I have yet to hear of a list member  

"crater" their kolb because of mods.

You will get jumped on real good in here if you propose a mod to your  

kolb plane that is unsafe.

We do have a few Wilber and Orville types here who will try new things.

In fact, they are the reason that kolb planes are what they are  

today. Kolb planes are all someone's experiment.

And yes, we do have engineers on this list.



again, Welcome!

Hi



My name is Len, I am still trying to make up my mind between the Kolb Kolbra

and the CGS Hawk Arrow...



What would be the Maximum prop diameter to use with a 582 and ebox on the

Kolbra?

Even an engineer can be a dumb ass (in the words of Red Forman) just take a 

close look at the Kolb plans books!
