I saved a few pictures from the Bi-Fold door I built last year. Using only a half HP motor.
Enjoy !

That is great! Looks like you have access to a nice fab area. Your strip looks great. wish I had my Kolb flying. I gather you are near P.I.

Where in Minnesota do you live, which Kolb do you fly. We should get together. Where is P.I. ?

The Quonset shed was popular in the sixties...a sight for sure but they do have some major drawbacks to the simple design. Mainly the walls pushing out and roof saging. I had to reinforce this one with buried rebarb and added fill to the outside walls.

Friend of mine has a Kolb. That thing would climb like a beast compared to our Phantoms.
