Kolb folks,
This link was posted a short time ago of a beautiful Kolb Mk III with a Beemer R1100S engine. I have about 100K sitting on a BMW R engine and love the sound. Beyond that, I noticed he was flying with no gap seal and the plane seems to be very stable and controllable. I've never tried it on my FF... Any comments?

I know Mike..
He built this bird and flew it first of all with the std 582 engine...Back about the time the New Kolb came into existence..Bryan and Norm flew over to Springfield Airport or Rough River and checked it over..Superb workmanship..
I had gull wing doors on my MkIII rebuild several years before...Still think it is the way to go...
Last I knew , it could be bought with or without the engine...Herb

I've never flown a FF, but I flew my Ultrastar without the gap seal. Once.
Looooong takeoff roll, poor climb, sloppy pitch control.
