 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.
