John and others,
I dug up a couple of pictures from Oshkosh 2007.
These were taken a year before I bought the Kolbra. Mark German flew it there.

Ralph , Nice pics! Looking at the Kolbra with you? sitting in it your full body weight is ahead of the landing gear . I have enough hours in a Kxp where most of my wieght was on the landing gear and many a time had to open the door and push the nose of the aircraft up off the ground I need to ask does that happen often to you?

Chris, the Kolbra has a lot of weight on the tail and there would be little chance for a noseover even with a lot of braking. The Original Firestar is another story. It has very little tail weight and yes I have nosed it over. The solution to that problem is remembering to keep the stick back at all times unless a strong wind is in back. Even then, if power is applied, backstick is the only way it keeps from nosing over.
