Rick



Sorry to hear you are having to sell your Kolb.  For those that aren't aware Rick was instrumental in getting Kolb to produce the VW mount option. Also the water cooled heads are a very rare option that fixes cooling issues on the VW engine and increases power.

 Sorry I should have given more info in the first post but I guess I'm so upset about having to sell that my mind wasn't working.  This is a Mark III extra located in Kingston, Tn.  My phone number is, [url=tel:865%20376-1450]865 376-1450[/url] if anyone wants to call and talk about things, I won't be home Saturday.  The wings and tail feathers are all completed and covered.  The fuselage is not covered but the windows have been fitted and cut to size, ready to mount.  This would make a wonderful plane for someone to finish out, talk about buying a quick build. I must have 18k for the plane, even still this will be a loss to me.

It appears to be working good as I have lost my medical I have not been able

to take it around the pattern however I have crow hopped it a lot and it

sure has a lot of power. I was at a sports flying field in Germany last fall

and ever airplane on the field had the verner except one and they were

flying daily.

Steve S/Kolbers:



Can't you fly LSA with your driver license?



I didn't lose my medical, but forgot to renew it last Aug.  Decided to fly

LSA.  I don't fly at night anymore, and seldom fly into Class D airports.



What kind of fuel burn and cruise speed do you get with the Verner on the

Kolb?

Thanks Rick for that post, I knew you would step in and say something good about what I have to offer.  Who ever ends up buying this plane is a lucky person.  There are so many options they will be getting for such a good price.  The kits cost new and the engine included cost less than the Rotax 912 engine alone, what a deal for someone...

Rick, I'm interested in your plane, but can't buy one for awhile yet. Yours needs fuselage covering and what else? I assume it's not yet  N-numbered. You have logs & paperwork? Trailer, or is one available locally? Is that a GPAS engine? What cc; 2180?

Thanx

No John, the darn feds have said if you have a license and you don't meet

the medical standards that you cannot fly litesport, does not make a

difference of I can drive a 80,000 lb truck remember the feds are here to

help.

Thanks John

Now I'm even more confused. I've been told that if you have a license and FAIL to pass the Medical, you can only fly gliders and balloons; self-certifying that you are safe. But rumor has it that some AME's will let you take the physical as just plain ol' Joe-the-plumber; 

if you fail it there's no FAA involvement or notification. 

If you PASS it, the AME can issue you your medical certificate.

Doubt if he'd charge you twice but it would be worth it. 

If you just  let your medical expire, then you can fly LSA.

I'm prolly wrong in at least some of this. Can someone straighten me out?

Thanx

Russ K

I think you got it pretty close and that is why so many of us in the 

Medicare generation switch to light sport.  If you fail your third class and 

can't get it reinstated through the appeals process your aviation career is 

done except for gliders.  I don't think there are a lot of ways to do the 

Joe the plumber trick anymore because it is all preset on the FAA computer 

system and no AME is going to risk his license by fiddling with the entries. 

Using your state drivers license as your medical actually makes a lot of 

sense and with the lobbying for changing the third class medical , one of 

the arguments was that there had not been any LSA mishaps due to medical 

conditions.  I think most cases of potential abuse get and will continue to 

get weeded out during the biannual check rides.

You've probably already looked into this, but last year the AOPA traveling 

road show had a session on what their offices do to help with medicals. 

They work 1st, 2nd and 3rd class problems.  The presenter was a doctor who 

had the expected horror stories of both really serious pilot medical 

problems, agency screw-ups and success stories with policy turnarounds and 

medicals being issued that previously didn't have a chance.  Gives you 

another avenue into the system with some knowledgeable advocacy on your 

side.  Might be worth a phone call.
