Aug 4, 2014 · Even though I love the open cockpit design of the QS, it's impossible to ignore the convenience of Kolb's foldable wings for ease of transport and storage. But every time I watch a youtube video with the camera perspective either from the pilot's seating position or from the wing looking back at the cockpit, I get very excited thinking about ...

Nov 16, 2013 · KOLB Mark III - Phoenix AZ $8500 - PROJECT 85% Complete I was considering purchasing this aircraft but my location and travel restrictions make buying an airplane now very difficult. After expressing strong interest in purchasing but backing out, I thought maybe a capable buyer could be found here on HBA.

Mar 11, 2023 · I fly a Kolb Firestar that I completed back in 1996. This is an older 1985 (5 rib) version that I purchased from an older farmer who started but never finished the build. I made the 'bucket list' flight to Oshkosh in 2004, and even got to meet Homer Kolb! (waiting in line for breakfast one morning) and ended up in the Airventure DVD for that year!

May 12, 2018 · Kolb is by far the most compact among the common folders. I think the only one where tail either folds or is removed is Remos GX, which may be 5 times more expensive. Every other airplane I know folds in such a way that it requires a very wide trailer, that is barely legal (8'1/2). Aerotrek is like that.

Dec 22, 2011 · Kolb Ultrastar Aircraft, i like this kind of ultralight airplanes. I am working in one, homebuilt and i need to know some general details about it. I searched the web but i couldn't find any manual for construct. I want to know these things with simple drawing: This is very simple drawing i need to know these please.

Aug 14, 2018 · Another high up on my list is the Just aircraft Stol solo, same load factor as Kolb. Supposed to be in production soon. Already know they will not have the boom on it, and plan on going 4130 tubing all the way on the fuselage, which is also okay by me. Heard they may also opt out of the spoliers and go with ailerons. Not too much new info out ...

May 26, 2016 · Recently I purchased a mostly complete Kolb Firestar II kit which had been started. The stabilizers and fin had been completed. One of the wings had been partly completed, then disassembled because the builder had accidentally used the tailboom tube as …
