flying: Kolb fit

At my ultralight association breakfast today, I scored a fit check in a Kolb Mark III, and amazingly, it is big enough. I may even fly it in a helmet, I think. Here's a photo, with the hand demonstrating about 3 fingers of clearance:

Totally want one now. Of course I'm not going to be able to afford one with a Rotax 912, like the one I tried on, but I'm already imagining getting a Firestar with a Hirth cheaply and installing a Culverprops Big Twin. Two-stroke: Just Say No.
