![]() We recommend training or some transition training before attempting flight in our aircraft. The doors/windows are removable which makes for great summer flying.Īlthough Kolb aircraft are easy to fly and have gentle flight characteristics, they are also high performance aircraft. Covered with Stits aircraft covering, there is no comparison! Mark III Xtra wings have rigid truss ribs and a massive 6" aircraft aluminum wing spar. All Kolb Aircraft utilize traditional control systems, cables and push-pull tubes. We also use 4130 steel in all high stress areas. The heart of the Mark III Xtra, the fuselage cage, is made from strong, factory welded 4130 chrome-moly steel. For strength and durability in airframe structures, aluminum and steel are superior. The welded chrome-moly steel fuselage cage provides the solid feel of a "real" airplane. With the expertise of Barnaby Wainfan, enhancements were made to the fuselage section of the aircraft which generously offers an additional 10-15 mph cruise speed of 80 mph with the Rotax 582, and 90 mph with the Rotax 912. The Mark III Xtra is aerodynamically designed to offer increased speed. and slow stall speed, it qualifies as an experimental kit build light sport aircraft. Our most popular aircraft, the Mark III Xtra embodies all of the design features and flying characteristics of our Mark III Classic. The lite version was discontinued in 1994 as most people wanted the flaps which the Lite version did not have.Ĭabin width is 42 inches and entrance is through one of the two gull wing style doors. In 1993, the Mark III lite was introduced. In 1990, after the FAA allowed for heavier 2-place ultralights, the same basic TwinStar Mark II design was strengthened (main spars increased from 5" to 6" diameter) to carry the more powerful Rotax 582 engine and also to increase the gross weight to 1000 lb.
