I have been listening to you guys bicker about VDs or something for too long 

now.  I think you have just about covered it.  If someone wants to try them, 

try em.  I dont care.  I am of the consensus that they probably would not 

help my Slingshot much and besides, I trailer my play pretty often with wing 

bags and I think the porqupine things would cut up the bags.  I would like 

to express my discontent with your statement that your Kolb flys better than 

anyone other.  I beg to differ.  You need to ride with me in my Slingshot. 

It is not for everyone but if you want intense, hot action or just lazy, 

kick back fun, this is the plane for you.  I can boost it to a hundred mph 

or fly at sixty (might have to deploy a little spoilerron for that), can 

safely land in less than two hundred feet without even braking a sweat.  Can 

climb like no tomorrow and cut a corner like a fine tuned sports car.  Dont 

know if it can slip cause with the spoilerrons, it comes down very nicely 

and lands on a spot.  ( I have won several spot landing contests).  Now, I 

do all of this at an average of 3 gals burn an hour, packed, extra gas, and 

heading to Florida coast at 85 mph.  I go throught bumps like a hot knife 

through butter and afternoon risers are no match for my 22 foot wing.  Now, 

bring on your "flys better than any other kolb" aircraft and we will see 

what is better or not.  Maybe you are just not the pilot you think you are 

or want to be.  By the way, I fly or have flown at least ten of the 

ultralights of the days and many, many LSAs.  I have never found one of them 

that would hold a candle to my little slingshot with my 912UL.  So, I will 

be at the Kolb Homecoming in September and I will expect you to be there 

with bells on and we will put the two together and see what the crowd 

thinks.  I am up for the challenge, are you?  Put your airplane and your 

mouth where it counts.  Ted Cowan, Alabama

Ted, 
	




Don't hold your breath!!!  His type never put up!  Just run their mouth 

when they feel safe from harm.
