pvwolfe12345 Kolb wings on LEXL fuselage

[Jaydub]

I just completed a Kolb Firestar II kit that I am waiting on FAA paperwork to finish the EAB process.

Long story short, I have leftover Firestar wings (7 rib for 725lb gross wt) and tail feathers that are looking for a fuselage to go on. I see on Youtube Pat Wolfe used Kolb wings on his LEXL. Does anyone know how to get in touch with him or does anyone know what all he had to change? I know the wing attachment will be different but I can do that when I build a fuselage. I'm not sure about using the Kolb tail feathers as I'll have to verify the square area of the elevators and rudder to see if the Kolb ones are sufficiently big enough.

I did order the LEXL plans yesterday so I have those to get an idea of how to build the fuselage.

Anyhow, just looking for info on Pat Wolfe or anyone else that has used Kolb wings.

Thanks,
Jay

You might try leaving a comment on one of his videos at YT since his channel is not set for PMs.

Looks like he had a little trouble with the CG.

Looks like he had a little trouble with the CG.

I noticed his engine had to sit out front a ways. That would be good though as I look forward to Les' BSV35 engine which would work well with a setup like his as it would get the heavy engine back closer to the firewall.
