Wow, Didn't know the brand was still around. i live right down the street from where kolb started. We would always go up there to check out the ultralights and watch them fly. Mr. Kolb and his son Marcus were great. If i remember correctly Marcus still has the original hanging in the barn.

Really interested in the Mark III. That's about as slick of a design as there is.
Good luck there guys, glad you're back in production.

[chrisdavis]

Probably the first interview the man has ever given give him a break, some very interesting changes in the aircraft shown ! Good luck Charles and Tom

Kolb aircraft are all designed very well. Hope they sell thousands of the UL's. Good to hear the company is up and running again!

[FlyingShotsman]

As soon as they put the Slingshot back into production, I'll be BEGGING them to take my money.

Good to see someone picked up this fine product to continue, wish them all the best 👍

I bought one of the last Kolbs made in 2020 from Bryan Melborn, but determined the wind was too strong here on the mid-Atlantic coast and didn't want the limited flying, so he sold it for me without ever flying it. I went to gyros and now fly a Silverlight AR-1 gyroplane and love it. No wind worries with that baby (up to 30mph that is).

My neighbor had a Kolb but he didn't fly it for very long. He left it in the backyard facing the elements for many years. Despite the folding wings, an airplane should be kept at the airport or it doesn't get flown.

Here's to great success in the future.

These guys know Kolb well and they help you on the phone too

[kolbclassicbuild]

Interview prep would have been a great idea

[johntempest]

Still the best ultralight ever. Homer Kolb designed a masterpiece, changing anything would be a mistake.

[flyod]

Brian, you ask great questions, thanks for your videos!

[BruceTGriffiths]

I was going to buy and build a MKIII but I had heart trouble. I am still interested in a Kolb 103 build but I weigh 300 pounds so I guess I am wondering if there is a way to make the Kolb 103 scale up to a heavier pilot. I do like these aircraft a great deal.

[terrancestodolka]

Good luck So the best to move forward with other options in motors, safty, and reliability...

[navion]

I’m pretty sure the questions you asked hadn’t been thought of. Perhaps if you interview this company every couple of months they will make it 😂

[trigger]

Had me worried for a minute when he said Rotax went out of business, then I looked up he ment the 2 stroke engines.

[BlueMax]

speeds mentioned in the video are very different to those quoted on the website

The problem is most larger cities no hangers available at the prices people who are average income levels can rent. City rented hangers within a 60 mile radius of my area are all 10 year waiting lists. Small T-hangers are now over $350 a month as well. Even tie downs have a 2-3 year waiting list now.

I sold my firestar 2 and have regretted it every since.
