The Kolb Slingshot is an American tandem two seat, high wing, strut-braced, pusher configuration, conventional landing gear-equipped ultralight aircraft, that was produced in kit form by New Kolb Aircraft of London, Kentucky and intended for amateur construction.
[4] The Slingshot was designed as a two-seat ultralight with a small wing and high cruise speed for the installed power, capable of delivering speeds comparable to a general aviation aircraft without the associated cost or complexity.
[1][2][3] The design features a forward fuselage of welded 4130 steel tubing, mated to an aluminum tailboom.
The horizontal stabilizer, tail fin and wings are also constructed of riveted aluminum tubing with all flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric.
[5] In reviewing the aircraft Andre Cliche said: This tandem two-seater is a really hot little racer with a short speedwing and an oversized engine.
