Takes me 20 minutes, solo. Granted, the process might save five minutes with a helper, but the truly wonderful thing about the design of all the Kolbs is the one-man setup. In fact, I find this is one of the best design features for me, as I share a hangar with a GA airplane, and the only way my Mark-III can fit is with the wings folded. It's a very worthwhile feature for me, as it allows me to get away with paying only a one-fourth share for hangar rent! There are several home-brewed designs for a tail dolly, which makes ground handling much easier. See George Alexander's excellent web site for a few ideas. And so, Brian - this is just one more reason why you should get a Kolb! I hope you make the right choice!

From: "Jason Omelchuck" I own a MKIII and unfold/fold it every time I fly. I also find it very easy to push around on the ground especially with a full swivel tail wheel. Because I fold every time, I only pay 1/3 hanger rent. Any end hanger in a row of "T" hangers is a good candidate to share with someone.

Bummer! Good thing we can't do anything about the wx, or we'd bust our butts trying -- but enjoy the coast anyway. Isn't it getting coolish? Years ago I even tried taping a couple cow-magnets to my fuel line (car) and it had exactly the effect I thought it would. Zilch!

I did that with mine and I'm having zero problems. Rick Girard do not archive What Rick said. Several years ago I bought a Camry with the green stuff in it and wanted to go to the silicate free coolant. Drained it, filled it with water, ran it, drained it, and then simply parked it next to the hangar and stuck the hose in it and let the car run while the hose was stick into the radiator so that the excess would overflow. After a half hour I drained it, mixed it 50/50 and never had a moments problem. Surely the Camry has a lot more places for the old coolant to hide than your Rotax system.
