I love my Kolb except for the noise. I am
| thinking of building a flying trailer and putting the engine back
there.
Hi Folks:
Remember! As long as it is making noise............. the engine is
running.
Also! Gliders are great at low level flight............ for a few
moments.
Take care,

I decided to have my engine outside the cockpit. I made a fire wall
under the engine and covered it with sound isolating fire retardant
foam. The gap sill comes to and attaches to the fire wall.

I fly the best looking plane there is, a Kolb mkIII.>>
Oh John, sorry that I can`t support you on this. The Kolb is many things
but beauty ain`t one of them. Pretty in their super paint jobs? Sure.
Useful in their flying performances? Yep. Reliable? Pretty much. But then
the question wss about beauty not performance and usefulness.
There is nothing more beautiful in the air than a modern high performance
sailplane. The smooth, airodynamic fuselage. The long thin, gently
undulating wing. Even the not so modern designs have a grace and clarity of
line that no Kolb can match. A glider seen, not from the ground but from
another glider is one of the most beautiful sights the eye can behold.
I can remember the time that I would have poured scorn on any flying machine
with an engine. I have mellowed in my old age and I wouldn`t swap my Kolb
for a sailplane now, but I still haven`t changed my mind about the sheer
simple, classic, unsurpassable, beauty of a sailplane.
Cheers
Pat
