The New Kolb Aircraft company introduced the Kolbra and
King Kolbra at Airventure 2000. The Kolbra series uses the
wing design of the Mark III series.
The Kolbra come in two kits, the airframe kit which includes
all the materials required to build the wings, tail, control
surfaces, fuselage tube, welded steel parts for wings and
tail, pre-built wing ribs, upper and lower wing false ribs,
streamlined lift struts, all the aircraft hardware, cables,
turn buckles, thimbles, nicopress sleeves safety pins,
plans, and construction manual. |

The second
kit includes the welded 4130 chrome-moly steel fuselage
cage,4130 steel control parts, landing gear legs, axles,
wheels, tires, seats, 4 point harnesses, fuel tank, fuel
line, filter, clamps, fibreglass nose fairing and
windshield. The Kolbra was built to fill the need, for a two
place trainer with dual controls, in a tandem seating
arrangement. Thus pilots and owners of aircraft like the
Kolb Firefly and Firestar will feel right at home while
training in the Kolbra and then moving into their own craft.
"The Kolbra's 6" spar wings and 6" fuselage are built to
take the kind of abuse a trainer might be expected to see.
The landing gear legs are chrome-moly for high strength. The
Kolbra can be used as an ultralight trainer in Canada.
The King Kolbra can also be build in the experimental
category which will allow the use of the Jabiru engine and
large tundra tires. Rugged steel gear and short takeoff and
landing distances, make it the perfect craft for getting in
an out of short field back yard strips. The cockpit is fully
enclosed but the rear windows may be opened in flight. As
with all Kolb aircraft, the Kolbra has folding wings for
portability, large wing area, sturdy construction, and great
visibility. |
