Kolb Ultralight 1984 - Outrageous Demo Flying

[xyrus85]

dear santa...

[reneblanco1]

Did that guy buckled up before takeoff? Didn't see him doing it after he put his helmet on.

[Taildragger2411]

Awesom!

[OldChuckie]

Maybe mechanical lift like a 20 knot wind up the side of a mountain, but probably not a thermal. I would imagine about a 14 to 1 glide ratio on the Kolb. My Kasperwing has about a 18 to 1 and so could thermal which I did often. Most of my flight was power off after altitude. Precision spot landings were always great fun.

Hi has any one ever managed to stay up with the engine off in one of these

The aspect ratio of the wing looks like its on the limit but on a good day with a lot of lift I recon you could thermal one of these.

Any one ever tried it?

[solarday]

Great fun

[nickfowlerflap]

STOL LOL!

[doffincodger]

This is probably how Bob Hoover would fly this a/c ! Nice flying, thanks.

[hypothesies1]

How long of a runway do they need for take off and landing?

[namnguyen66]

look like the guy didn't seat belt

[fendertelecaster8225]

Aparently Man has learned how to fly

[Earssss]

gezzz,, front row seat or what lol

[upclosevideo]

Just proves flying a really simple and inexpensive microlight is what it's all about really. Same as flying a vintage glider imho, far more fun than te heavy glass ships ;-)

[spoada]

those look better than the ones being made now.

[billyvray]

At 2:01, what version is that? It looks like an Ultrastar with a much simpler cockpit. I've never seen it and wonder why it wasn't pursued?

[OldChuckie]

Have no idea what the But-butt thing means. However, google "the new kolb company" if you want one. Chuck

[superbungabunga]

best way to kill zombies is to be in the air, but what will you do when you need fuel

[swordsman1100]

how much are these? its just a metal frame with a tarp on it and a small generator with a propeller. it cant cost much.

[arnold02000]

@swordsman1100 Tarp. Lol!

[groundloop07]

Chuck, how about more raw footage. Please send all raw footage of the Ultrastar and the Zipper to dlong1957@yahoo.com please. We talked about it at Sun-N-Fun this year when I bought 4 of your video's. I now have three planes, the Ultrastar, Zenair Zipper and a Firestar. Trying to find a Hiperlite if I can. Want to sponsor a collection? :)
