This is an older (c. 1991) image of me in the Kolb "Flyer". Powered by 2 Solo engines of 16 horsepower each. Designed by Homer Kolb in the mid-seventies. I put over 300 hours on it and loved every minute.

Several years ago, a few of us were invited to the ANG 138th Fighter Group's open house. The wind got up over 20 knots in the pm so we had to leave our birds in the hangar with the F16's overnight. (I slept pretty well that night.)

Tom again with his scale Heath Parasol. Power is from a 1/2 Volkswagon engine. |
Doug, another bud with his prize winning Weedhopper. I've seen him loop this thing (honest - I swear on a stack of LEAF catalogs!). |
A different Tom in a Wizard. |
Yes, these photos were taken just a few seconds apart. |
My 1984 Challenger II. A short trip on a bumpy road - stick with Kolb!
Not exactly an "ultralight" at over 300 lbs but almost as much
fun, my 1930 HD 'V' model 74 cubic inch scooter (definitely NOT for sale!).
