@briankopp6171 4 ай бұрын

Only on the used market. Kolb discontinued the Ultrastar years ago because of prop size limitations imposed by the high tail boom apparently. But from everything I’ve read they’re a highly regarded ultralights and plans are still available from Kolb.

For something designed in the 80s, this aircraft looks surprisingly contemporary. Beautiful little design.

I love the extreme nose-down condition (on the horizontal stabilizer) to fly the tail before nose-up to take off. Nice machine, nice flying.

I’m picking one up in several weeks. This Ultrastar owner invited me out to see his, from pulling it out of its enclosed trailer to unfolding it and getting it ready to fly, to take off, flight, landing, and putting it back in its trailer. I’m definitely hooked! Every single person I’ve talked to said their Ultrastar was one of the best, or the single best, ultralight they ever owned or flew. It was only discontinued because the high tail boom limited prop size.

I read an old review when the first Ultrastar was made. The reviewer said that he felt like he was riding in a runaway rickshaw with an astonished look in his face. I still have that magazine somewhere. I have to look for it.

I like the John Deere Colors. I was inches away from inking a deal with John Deere a couple decades ago to build an experimental, paint it John Deere Green and Yellow with logo and then represent them and any products they wanted to provide literature for at any and every fly in I could get to, minimum of 4 per year. The guy that liked the idea retired and the guy that replaced him thought it was useless and shit canned it.

They only made them in the 1980s. They could be built from a kit or from plans. I think the Kolb aircraft company recently started selling plans for it again but they can only be purchased used today. They sell for $3000 to $8000 on the used market.
