Kolb Friends -
I gotta agree with Mr Rowe, commenting on Hauck's post about his Miss P'fer.
I've been flying my Mark-3 for about 14 years now, and every so often, I begin thinking how nice it might be to have an airplane that flies a little faster, carries a bit more, or keeps me dry when I fly through rain. But then I read John's summary of his Kolb's experience (below), and it reminds me that I'll NEVER be able to match my Mark-3's performance with another aircraft for what my Kolb cost me. It still meets MY primary mission (local flying and backcountry camping), and it's probably the cheapest "real" airplane I could ever own.
I think I'll keep it for a few more years ...

It does much more than Homer Kolb and John Hauck ever dreamed one of his little airplanes would do. It takes me where I want to go. All I have to do is put gas in it, take off and point the nose in that direction. john h >>
