    Subject: Sort of Kolb related
    > Indirectly Kolb related. About 15 years ago I bought a Mark III Xtra kit. I only completed about half the build and sold the kit a few years ago. I modified my barn to have a 31 clear span for the Kolbs 30 ft wingspan. Today I made a deposit on a Zigolo MG12 from Chip Erwin, but it has a wingspan of 36'-7" with full span ailerons . I have noticed that some sailplanes have removable wingtips. I am trying to devise a way to have 4 detachable wing ends for this plane and clip the ailerons . Does anyone have a way to do this? I was thinking female tubes in the wing (using the wing spar tubes) and male tubes fixed in the winglet. Since ribs are riveted into the spar just like the Kolb kits, the rivets would protrude inside and not let a closely mated tube slide inside. Possibly use square tubes to avoid the rivets? > > I can take one wing off in a couple of minutes and get it into my hangar with their quick attach option, but it may be tricky doing it by myself. If you have to go to too much trouble, you will probably fly less. I would like to go into my backyard, open up the hangar door, unhook the charger, roll the plane out, attach the winglets and fly off my 600 foot grass strip. > > http://aeromarine-lsa.com/zigolo-mg/ > > I am planning to go with the electric powerplant. They call this plane a motofloater. I plan to chase thermals and use the electric motor to find them and cut the power. No worry about restarting the electric motor. Very interesting concept. If your are interested, there are a lot of videos to view. > > Thought I would pick the collective brains of the Kolb people. I apologize for being a bit off pure Kolb talk. > > Clay Stuart

    Clay Would it be possible to fit your plane in diagonally? If so build a dolly t o take it in and out.
