No much on the Kolb list these days.  I expect to finish my MKIIIX, with GPAS VW with re-drive sometime before I get too old to fly.   

As I have gotten older (69) I find it more difficult to do the cork screw movements to get into my plane.  I am thinking very seriously about doing some modification to at least one side of the cockpit/windshield tubing to have a larger opening.  I have thought about welding a tube that would be in the middle of the windshield and allow me to hinge one half of the windshield/door combination from that point.  It would hinge like the MKIIIC.

Any thoughts.  I would especially appreciate hearing from you John H. since you modified some parts of your MKIIIC.  Any others also appreciated.

Have a great weekend.

Bob G/Kolbers:



Almost anything is doable if you want it bad enough.



I have included a photo of my MKIII to show the windshield and door.



One thing to remember when modifying the doors, the rear of the door has to

be far enough forward to clear the leading edge of the wing when it opens

up.



I'm sure Kolb Aircraft can take care of your problem.
