| Subject: | Max wind speed for Kolb wing fold/unfold |
Anticipating that a Kolb Firestar or Mark 3 would be stored wings-folded into a
shared hangar, I'd like to ask the group what the maximum wind speed is that
would allow a one-person folding or unfolding of the wings for storage or flight,
respectively.

Since no one else has yet spoken up .. I owned a MkIII for 10+ years and
90% of the time I did the folding by myself.
I created a couple of padded jigs that would support the wings while I did
the honors, and I likely didn't try anything with wings > 7-8 mph. Many
times I'd tie it down then come back later when the wind died down. And I
was lucky since my grass taxiway was sheltered between houses and hangars
close by.
Even with help, a windy day is challenging.
