Making its appearance in 1982, the UltraStar was marketed
for three years. It was designed to utilize the new Cayuna
engine at that time.
With the UltraStar, Kolb introduced a new method of wing
construction using one large tubular aluminum main spar
which carried the lift and torsion loads of the wing. |

The UltraStar was the first to
have the folding wings. The first UltraStars folded at the
main spar but were to high for most garages so the design
was changed to put the fold point at the rear spar. This
method of wing construction brought so much success that
Kolb made it the standard method of wing construction for
all their models since that time.
In 1985, the UltraStar was revamped, redesigned and enclosed
-- resulting in the very successful FireStar series of
aircraft. |
