Kolb's 103 Legal Ultralight

FIrefly

The FireFly is a revolutionary ultralight aircraft, combining easy construction with superior performance, all while remaining fully compliant with FAR Part 103. Unlike many ultralights, the FireFly offers a thrilling flying experience with the power and agility to outperform the competition, ensuring pilots never have to compromise on excitement. Featuring quick-folding wings, an enclosable cockpit, and a durable chrome-moly steel fuselage, the FireFly delivers unmatched safety, fun, and performance in just 254 pounds.

High Performance

The FireFly's performance is truly exceptional, with 40 horsepower effortlessly propelling its 254-pound frame to stunning heights. You have to see it in the air to fully appreciate the remarkable capabilities of this ultralight aircraft.

Sturdy Construction

The FireFly’s welded 4130 chrome-moly steel fuselage cage gives it the solid, reliable feel of a true aircraft, with superior strength and durability throughout. Its rigid truss ribs, massive 5” aluminum wing spar, and Stits aircraft covering set FireFly’s wings apart from the typical sailcloth wings found on other ultralights, ensuring unmatched performance and resilience.

Sporty Handling

The FireFly features conventional 3-axis controls with cable and push-pull tubes, offering a responsive yet stable flying experience that’s not twitchy or overly sensitive. Its gentle stall characteristics include a brief sink before a smooth break at around 30 mph, where the nose drops, speed builds, and the aircraft effortlessly recovers with a slight reduction in stick pressure.

Great Visibility

Better visibility makes every flight more enjoyable, and the FireFly delivers on this with its pusher configuration, offering the exceptional visibility Kolb aircraft are known for. With 360-degree views from the cabin and an optional full canopy for comfort in cooler weather, the FireFly also benefits from a rear-mounted engine that reduces exhaust fumes and noise levels, ensuring a smoother, more pleasant flying experience.
