Mark III flight characteristics

[PNWflyer]

Hello,
New to the forum and Kolb world. Looking very seriously at a newer Kolb Mark III Xtra but have heard mixed reviews on its handling characteristics and safety record. It has the 100HP rotax. Specifically: the low speed characteristics, landing low speed characteristics, and yaw issues. I've heard that earlier models didn't have a rudder trim but Kolb would recommend it even though it wasn't in build manual?? (rumor/true?)....now I see that more of the Mark IIIs have some form of rudder trim or permanent trim tab. Any info would be appreciated and if I could actually speak to a current or somewhat recent Mark III owner/pilot, I'd appreciate that as well. Thanks!! My mission is lower, not fast, dirt and grass are the preferred landing strips...shorter is more fun but am flexible!!:)

There's not much to trim.... and the trim changes from one person and two....
Your talking light loads.... Something a spring or bungee cord could temp relieve
The trim can be taken care of by pulling on the control CABLE instead of making some kind of mod , like a trim tab...

Don't let the little things get complicated....Put the Red Tape away.... Are you trying to talk yourself out of it ?
One thing I love about Kolbs , besides how good they fly.... Is there safety record.... Just watch the Pilot errors...Like running out of fuel.
