 Talked to the fellow who built it some days ago.. St. Louis Area... He  started with a wrecked Kolb MkII .  I thought it could have been an Ultra  Star?  Herb

guys 



   Bill Bronson is his name..Wrote a vw col. for Experimenter mag as I

recall.. 



  I think you are correct.. seat tank?  He also sells his version of half

vw plans . That is a half vw on the nose.. 



   There is a half vw on a Kolb Firefly in east tenn.  Haven't talked

with the fellow for a few months..His initial flights were very

promising.. Likely waiting out the winter before taking to the air

again..?  Engine wt will likely be a bit less than a 447.  94 mm nickasil

jugs.  



   I have some ideas for a plane that I will call the   "Ultra Fly" .

Will use  a half vw.. Parts from an Ultra Star and a Firefly..   High

boom  and training wheel..    Herb 

do not archive
