This is my Kolb MKII.  It's a two seat homebuilt that qualifies for the new Light Sport Aircraft category.  I have about 60 hours on the Kolb now.  Top speed is somewhere over 70 MPH and the 5500 RPM cruise is 60 MPH burning 3.6 GPH of 87 octane.  Max payload to date is 10 gallons fuel and 415 lbs people.  Solo rate of climb is 600-700 FPM.  I have been going to every pancake breakfast and fly-in in central PA.  Lots of fun!  I fold the wings and tail each time that I fly so it can be stored in a trailer.  It takes less than 15 minutes to take out or put away.  Check out the Golf Flight and Fog Flight links

Below is a shot of a fly-by at our Octoberfest flyin last year.

The fun thing about a two seater of course is bringing a friend along.

The MKII gets off the ground in a hurry, even with two aboard.

Below are a couple of pictures that my friends Steve and Donna took from their Cub as we flew to Altoona for dinner.

As you can see, it was nice weather and nice country.

With a view like the one below, the question is not "Why fly a Kolb?", the question is "Why would you fly anything else?".  Everyone that I have taken for a ride has loved the visibility.

One of the advantages of owning a Kolb is that you don't need a hangar.  As you can see below, my MKII lives in a converted camper that now doubles as a toy hauler.  The camper still has three beds, a dinette, AC, Bathroom, living room, and a full kitchen once you remove the airplane.  I usually just leave the camper parked at the airport for the summer and bring it home in the winter.  The trailer has lots of storage space for tools, fuel, etc.

The Kolb easily rolls out on the folding ramps.  The wings swing into place.  The tail unfolds. 

Assembly and disassembly take one person about 15 minutes.
