New landing strip

Post by seastar »

I have been considering building a short strip at my cabin in Minnesota and want to buy a STOL ultralight or LSA.
I need folding wings so I can hangar it in my garage,
The Kolb looks like a good candidate.

My potential strip is at 1900'msl and has clear approaches.
How short a runway can I use with a kolb?
Which model is best?
Two seats would be nice.
Are there any for sale?

I'm thinking about carving out an airstrip at the property in Laporte,MN

I have an approach over a small lake...

One way "in"

One way "out"

I figure my Kolb Firestar would be able to do it "Safely" in 600 ft

That's probably "Double" of what I need....

I want it longer because of the plane I'm currently building...

One way to tell if a plane is "good"...... Not many for sale....

You might try the Matronic's site... More people there...

Sometimes you just have to take the leap
and build your wings on the way down...
