I keep mine at the airfield folded in its trailer as there is no available hangarage , and unfold /fold every time I fly and 15 mins is about right to unfold on my own and do a thorough pre flight inspection .I could do it faster but I would rather do it in a leisurely careful manner and then not be worried Ive missed something . Once you get used to the routine its not really a big deal. I have friends here who keep their aircraft rigged in the open with covers on and they can get the covers off faster than I can rig my plane , but then, I can de rig and be away before they have all their covers back on and the plane tied down. Sure I would like to just roll her out of a hanger and fly but that is not available in my area unless I pay at least three times the airfield fees( currently flying from a farm at Ince blundell just north of Liverpool uk ) and also would miss the good friends at this microlight ( ultralight for you ) club . Dont let the folding and unfolding put you of owning a kolb and make sure you have a good checklist ( I'm sure otheres here could help you far better than I with a proven checklist ) for your rigging to fly and you wont go far wrong Eddie Bayliss kolb mk111c 582 rotax arplast prop ----- Original Message ----- From: "CaliPaul" Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2012 4:07 PM Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Antioch, CA > > Wes, > > That was the best video I've seen in showing the steps involved.
