    Kolb Firefly Project - too much corrosion??

    Hi everyone, Thank you for the info and advice. I looked at the airframe in person this afternoon. The seller is very nice, but admits he knows nothing about ultralights and does not have any history on this Kolb Firefly. He currently has it listed on the Fresno Craig list for $1500, but...

    After some more thought, I think it might be easier to build a Cub look-a-like (Wag Aero Sport Trainer) and customize it with Wittman Tailwind design elements (windshield, tailfeathers, Wittman style landing gear). I love the cowling used on most of the W-10s with Lycoming engines, don't...

    Wittman Tailwind modified to meet E-LSA?

    I know the Wittman Buttercup design can meet the ELSA specs, but was wondering if anyone has ever installed longer wings on a W8 or W-10 Tailwind using a thicker, flat bottomed airfoil (like a J-3Cub)? This wing change would probably require wing struts like a Cub as well. I'm not talking...

    Dewey, have you found out anymore info on this UL Pitts? I see on another website where they tracked down the current owner of this UL Pitts. I'm curious to know what the construction method was....I hoping aluminum tubing & pop rivets like some of the WWI replica airplanes. Andrew

    Quick Fold Wings

    Besides the Kitfox Lite (now BeLite) and the Avid Champion, are there any other ultralight designs that have wings that quickly fold straight back without disconnecting any of the wing struts? Thanks, Andrew
