Hi Rusty, you got some kind of disease? Show us some pics of this
Slingshot.
Hi
Dave,
I've never
been accused of being normal :-) Do a Google search on "Kolb
Slingshot", and you'll find pics and specs. I built the first one
they sold years ago, then sold it later. Last year I bought the
6 color show plane that you'll see in most of the pics, then hurricane Ivan
whacked it 4 days later. That's the one I'm currently rebuilding with the
single rotor. I changed it to an open cockpit also.
The one
I just bought used to be a twin engine, using counter-rotating props, but the
engines themselves were not so great, and it got wrecked. It's been
repaired, but needs new wings, which are easy to build. I may very well
make it a twin again. Hard to say, but the price was
right.
I'm really in
the market for the perfect Sport Pilot plane. The Zodiac XL, and Van's
future RV-12 are very close, but I'd like it to be tandem seating. A
single rotor would do dandy in any of these.
Cheers,
Rusty (off to
cover the van with more love bugs)
