Brand new, never mounted with original paperwork. I figured with the cold season coming up on us soon someone could use them. I live in the middle of the Sonoran desert and don't think I'll ever need them here in the southwest. They go for 279.00 in the Aircraft Spruce catalog. I'll let them go for 220.00. Save yourself some money, I'll even throw in 2-day priority shipping right to your doorstep. Interested? reply to me off the list at: rp3420@email.sps.mot.com Thanks, Tim Gherkins Phx, AZ ________________________________ Message 6 _____________________________________ Time: 09:21:17 AM PST US From: "Larry Bourne" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: John H --> Kolb-List message posted by: "Larry Bourne" He's on (computer-less) vacation.

(The location taper would need to be the same too.) Those who have gone to spring steel tube gear legs have purposefully changed to legs shoved all the way up. If there is a ground accident that tears out the legs, the tendency with normal legs that end half way up the sleeves is to slightly bend and crease the sleeves where the legs end inside. -Ben Ransom FS KXP --- bryan green wrote: > --> Kolb-List message posted by: "bryan green" > > > I bought two new gear legs from TNK for a Firefly to replace the ones > on > my Firestar I but they are 4.5" longer than mine.

It was a 1986 Kolb Twinstar with a Rotax 503 SCSI. It had yellow wings and a dark green fairing. It was a great little flyer, but it was time for me to move on since I didn't have enough time for it. He keeps it at the Venice airport. Bill H.
Hi Kolbers,
  That Kolb flying over Venice Beach, Florida could have been one I previously owned and sold to Steve Jones of Venice. It was a 1986 Kolb Twinstar with a Rotax 503 SCSI.  It had yellow wings and a dark green fairing.  It was a great little flyer, but it was time for me to move on since I didn't have enough time for it.  He keeps it at the Venice airport.

________________________________ Message 13 ____________________________________ Time: 04:31:12 PM PST US From: kuffel Subject: Kolb-List: Electric Trim Circuit --> Kolb-List message posted by: kuffel Ted, <> You will find this standard circuit in one of the Bingelis books as well as other aviation electronic books. Draw up a diagram from the following verbal description and you will get the idea. You need: circuit breaker or fuse a momentary (spring loaded) double pole double throw center off switch two normally closed micro-switches 4 wire cable from the control switch to the motor/limit switches area (assuming a typical mechanical setup) Call the 4 contacts of the dpdt switch 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 where contacts 1 & 2 are the output of pole 1 and contacts 3 & 4 are the output of pole 2. Call the two contacts of the DC motor A & B. Run battery plus through a fuse/circuit breaker to pole 1 input of the control switch (output contacts 1 & 2) Run ground to pole 2 input of the control switch (output contacts 3 & 4) Wire from contact 1 to input of limit switch Wire from output of limit switch to A Wire from contact 2 to input of other limit switch Wire from output of other limit switch to B Wire from contact 3 to B Wire from contact 4 to A When the control switch energizes contacts 1 and 3 then power from 1 goes through the limit switch to A, through the motor to B and back to 3 until the limit switch opens. When the control switch energizes contacts 2 and 4 then power from 2 goes through the other limit switch to B, through the motor in the opposite direction to A and back to 4 until the other limit switch opens. Hope this is clear enough.
