Kolb Firestar, some interesting designs and modifications.

Apparently the owner William Hinkelmann had a little bit of an accident, in his two place Kolb.

In the process of repairing the craft he used some foam insulation.

When he found it hard to sand down and make smooth he decided to transform his Kolb into "The Frog."

Another advantage is that the two "eyes," which are really chrome headlights act as mirrors for the pilot when flying.
