Has anyone ever had a "standard Kolb issue safety pin" fail and come out
during flight?
I had a safety pin on the top wing attach point bolt of my Firefly apparently fail
last year. I setup my plane each time I fly and double check all safety pins
after I finish setup as part of my preflight. I use my reading glasses for
the preflight check since I don't use them during setup. I check the safety
pins to ensure the long pin part of the safety pins are bottomed in the U's of
the clip. After flying that day, only about an hour, when I was doing tear
down, I found the left top bolt had no safety pin, which gave me weak knees (for
quite a while afterward) when I found it!! At the time I was using 3 new safety
pins from Aircraft Spruce (spring steel, not SS) and one older pin that
looked pretty new. The older pin is the one that was missing. Believe me, I
now change those safety pins much more often (at least twice a year if I'm not
flying a lot). Fortunately the top attach point bolt had not moved at all,
since I assume there is a lot of constant force on them during flight. I notice
my lower strut bolts move around a lot more during flight, so I would not want
to fly without a safety pin on a lower strut attach point very long, based
on what I've observed, so I think I got lucky that the one that failed was on
the top wing attach point and not a lower strut attach point.
The idea of using the round rings on the lower struts is something I will start
doing. The lower strut attach point bolts are much easier to access, so this
should not add significant setup time and would be safer than the normal safety
pins for all the reasons that have been discussed. I setup my Firefly normally
in 8 to 10 minutes (8 when hurrying).
I use an ANR bolt and plastic loc nut on the rear tail feather guy wire attach
point. I reuse those nuts as long as there is good pressure required to install
and remove them. I change the bolt and nut once a year whether they need it
or not as part of my annual inspection and maint.
Thanks for this discussion.

Firefly #022 187 hours - haven't counted log entries for # of setup's but others
have done many more than me. If it don't stop raining in AZ pretty soon the
safety pins might rust out if any plating is missing....

Don't be sorry for my sake, there is a lot of that sort of religion around.
It's called "legalism."

Never a hint of one coming out. I use the stainless ones used for sailboats that
have the easy-start center. They overlap only a half turn, but they cannot come
loose because they would have to overcome the ring tension. The main wing
clevis pins always want to back out to the ring. If I forgot the ring, it would
come out and this would not make my day.

Jim and others,
I misread your post. I use a safety ring and the kit came with those safety clips.
I never wanted to use the clips from the first time I flew because I thought
about one of them getting unclipped. I bought the rings from a sailboat store
for 50 cents each. Well worth the money.

Kolbers,
I use AN castle nuts and safety rings on my Mk-3 at every location for
dissassembly that calls for clevis pins.
Gives the assurance that the safety pins won't pop open, and you only need
to tighten the nuts a tiny bit past finger tight to get the pin holes lined
up with the castles slots.
Makes the process pretty smooth.

Duane the plane, all
I'm inerested to hear how you lowered the trailing edge of the wing(left) to keep
the plane from rolling left.....trim tab??? My Mk2 has the left roll tendency
in spades and I have been trying to figure out how to get that out (without
adding an unsightly trim tab to an aileron) for some time. The trim tab mounted
on the left elevator helps some but not enough. I shoot photography out
of my plane and it sure would be nice to be able to fly hands free. The center
mounted stick and the shutter release on the right side of the camera(requiring
the right hand to operate it) makes it difficult. We've had a little discussion
in here recently but I don't remember what the suggestions were to overcome
the left roll tendency. Anybody else?

Hi Steve/Gang:
A search of the archives will produce a lot of info on roll control.
A simple method of correcting adverse roll or trimming for roll is a
piece of bungee cord and two small hose clamps. I used this method on
my MKIII. Attach the bungee to the control stick with a double wrap
loop secured with one hose clamp. Attach the other end to something
on the right side of the seat frame so it won't interfere with the
passenger's legs. With the double loop slipped all the way to the
bottom of the stick, adjust tension to neutral. You are set to go.
The more right trim you need the higher you slip the bungee up the
stick. When flying with a passenger, probably slip it all the way
down. Takes a couple minutes to install or uninstall.

Do you remove the lower strut attach pins when you fold? When I used to fold

I have just found a supply house for the circle cotter pins ( the ones with the
inner end bent for easy start) but they are sold in 100 lots. I have ordered
100. This of course makes them cheap. They are 3/4"dia. and are zinc plated steel.
I will share some of them if you need them for what they cost plus shipping.
You can see a picture and description at the link below. Click on line catalogue

In re recent talk about handling Pilot Overflow, or the

Military planes used to use relief tubes, simple & low-tech. You could

One of my (many) harebrained schemes was to buy a lot of
Government-surplus relief tubes & sell them to taxi drivers. Didnt
work; they just use a coffee cup, open the door & pour it out. When
flying I carried a 1-quart urinal with a funnel-spout and a SS valve.
Workt fine but was bulky. The more agile ladies could use it too, but
they preferred a Jills John.
The swordfish-spotters carried empty cardboard 1-quart milk bottles,
would fill them & then look for a plastic-basket cruiser to bomb with

for over 17 hours, nonstop. Talk about earning your money --
I find Snapple bottles to be conveniently-sized & readily available
but they only hold 16 oz.
Any medical-supply house can sell you a condom with a tube on it,
leading to a leg-bag strapped to your calf. Uncomfortable, but it
works. You can also use a longer tube & tuck the end into your sock --
just DONT forget to take it out before you let loose! But you could
be standing over a drain talking to Miss America, & relieve yourself &
shed never even know it.
The bottom line in all this is pre-planning. If you dont drink
anything, you wont have to urinate. Not much fun though.

Hi Steve/All,
All the UK MKIII kits have a larger Rear attach point,(the part that
connects to the cage), this allows for infinate adjustment in the angle of
attack of the wings. Simply by putting more washers on one side of the other
joint or another, this eliminates the need for ugly and draggy trim tabs.

Hospitals furnish bed ridden patients (male) with a large capacity plastic container
shaped for use lying down, or sitting up, that has a clip on the side for
hanging upright on any small horizontal tube or rail. Has a built on
snap lid that makes the contents stay put. I've used them many times and works
easily and securely. I'm sure any hospital supply house or large drug store
has them.

Am I the only one who saw the crashed two place Kolb in Florida last week?.
It was on the TV news and defiantly shown a two place Kolb. It said that the
two people in the plane were not killed. Good Thing.
I have seen no one from Florida who knows any thing about this
accident. Speak up, We Kolb drivers need to know how to avoid this kind of
trouble.

Hi Steve et al,
The New Kolb sold me a special fitting that replaces the one that's bolted to the
airframe at the trailing edge attach point. It was made for this purpose. The
"jaw" of the a stock fitting is ~ 1" across to match the the universal link.
The special fitting measures ~ 1 3/8" across and allows lowering the trailing
edge using a longer bolt and spacer-washers. Cost $45.

Duane the plane, all
I'm inerested to hear how you lowered the trailing edge of the wing(left) to
keep the plane from rolling left.....trim tab??? My Mk2 has the left roll tendency
in spades and I have been trying to figure out how to get that out (without
adding an unsightly trim tab to an aileron) for some time. The trim tab
mounted on the left elevator helps some but not enough. I shoot photography out
of my plane and it sure would be nice to be able to fly hands free. The center
mounted stick and the shutter release on the right side of the camera(requiring
the right hand to operate it) makes it difficult. We've had a little discussion
in here recently but I don't remember what the suggestions were to overcome
the left roll tendency. Anybody else?

I fold the wings on my FireStar and use the S/S circle type safety (pins?).
Bought them at a sail boat shop years ago. Lost one that I dropped in deep
grass. Also, at a fly-in, I was in the process of tying down when an enthusiast
came along and tried to help. He tied the rope to the safety ring at the top
of the strut. Naturally it failed when he pulled the rope taut and opened
the ring straight out. Now I carry a few spares in my tool kit.

Of some UL interest, however, two hapless individuals successfully conducted
a fatal soil-sample drill in a trike somewhere just north of here last

his erstwhile student, executed a virtually flawless stall-spin entry demo
in one of the mighty Skyboy machines in the middle of the Zephyrhills FL
airport last week... Numerous witnesses all agreed that it was a textbook
performance and the cards held up by the appreciative crowd ranged from a
near perfect 9.9 to a low of only 9.7, the high scores reflecting the
spirited wing-over-wing cartwheels with which the routine reportedly
climaxed.... The stalwarts have four broken legs, two sets of over-grossed

And that's the news from West Central Florida....
Trust 'ol Beauford, Borther Thompson... I ain't a'holdin out on ye.... If I

Az. Bald Eagle, et al:
After seeing your message and one other concerning a TV report, I checked
most every Florida major city newspaper and TV web sites for a couple of
days. Nothing reported in any of them that I was able to find. Even
checked directly with some UL/LSAers in a couple of places around the state.
Nothing reported. Also have checked periodically the web sites that report
accidents/incidents. Nothing.
Standing by....
