Tube & fabric construction, two Kohler 12 HP engines, IIRC. There's a Texan fella that flew his at Sun N Fun for many years, can't remember his name at the moment. I have a set of plans, and they are also available from Scott at www.vula.org, I think. VULA is also a good place to find info on all kinds of old ultralights.

Del Cross owns the twin Kolb. He's in my chapter. He has redrives on it. It has Robin Engines. I don't think he has ever had an engine failure, but I heard one almost fell off. He now has about 1500 hours twin time in it. (on it?) With the redrives he can take off on one engine and climb out. It is Ultralight legal. Cheers Jeff That's him alright. I bought my plans from Del out of his trailer at SNF one year. Nice guy. Mike Patterson Please remove the spamtrap to email me. |

http://www.angelfire.com/ca2/ulflyer/ I have flown the LAZAIR. It will stay aloft on one motor for a LONG time but not forever. It is one smooth plane to fly. "Richard Riley" wrote in message ...
