Hello guys! Let me introduce myself. My name is Mike Hillger and I'm from Garden City, Texas. Thats halfway between Dallas and El Paso. I'm currently working as a oil field drilling consultant in Columbia, Ms. I work 5 or 6 weeks at a time and then go home for a week or so.
I am a Private Pilot and have about 300 hrs in a Piper Pacer that I sold back in '96. I became infatuated with youre Kolbs and the Idea of owning one and hauling it to various places and exploring from 500'! I have been lurking for about 6 months and have all the archives read up to 2003. Two months ago I stumbled upon an ad in Barnstormers and before I knew it, John Cooley had babtized me into the wonderful world of Kolb! I purchased his Mk ll. I have about 10 hrs in the plane and I'm having a ball! I feel guilty after reading about all the building all of you had to do but I'll get over it. When I get back home for good I do plan on building a Mklll but dont tell my wife!
I havnt had anything to add to your forum cause I've been trying to soak up all your knowledge. I do plan on doing some mods to the plane but for now i will be content to just practice flying it. I might try to license it later but I am having trouble soaking up all the complicated BS with the new rules and being legal. I swore when I sold the Pacer, big brother would never know about my next plane! (I'm still getting AD's after 10 years of not owning it!)I did buy a boat trailer and modified it to haul the little plane around and it works nicely but it's still evolving.
I posted a pic but I dont know if its there or not as Im new to posting. I hope to be at the October Light in Lucedale and maybe I can meet a few of you......Thanks, Mike Hillger
P.S....Whats all these smiley faces staring at me from the left?

Welcome aboard Kolb World Mike. That's a pretty airplane.
re: building another plane, quit now while you are ahead
and get an N number glued on that one.
(bet you could fly for a long time with just numbers and no
papers)  -accident free of course.
