They are for a FSII I need some advice. The old part is installed and drilled. You can see it below. The new part is not drilled. You can see how much thicker the tube is on the new part. I am not sue how I will relocate the drilled holes on the new part to match the gear leg. I have some ideas, but I have learned that it probably has been done many times before and I can skip some frustration by asking. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

New to the Forum From: "Hose.A" Hi everyone, The name is Joe and I hail from Tyler, Texas. I am new to the forum and new to ultralights. Just bought a 2002 Kolb Mark III and really anxious to get some time in it. I have a Commercial, Instrument, Multi-engine and CFI, but this will be a whole new learning experience for me. Hurry up and get here, warm weather! -------- HoseA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=170128#170128 ________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 10:28:26 PM PST US From: "boyd" Subject: RE: Kolb-List: Re: axle fittings Do you know what a rivet locator is? It is used to locate a hole in the top skin when laid over a hole in a lower surface... how to make one... take a 8 inch piece of sheet metal and fold it in half. Then drill a hole through the ends where they overlap... place a rivet through the lower piece and insert the rivet in the under lying hole, then putting the piece of skin you want to locate the hole in, between the folded over halves of the locator, the hole in the top of the locator will locate the hole in the skin. With that mental picture in mind,,,, take a piece of sheet metal, and clamp it to the leg a few inches above the axel fitting using a screw clamp, or two to keep it from moving.... drill the sheet metal from the opposite side of the gear leg through the existing hole. This will locate the hole... then pull the sheet metal far enough from the leg to slide the axel fitting on,, make sure you don't move the locator, when the axel fitting is properly aligned,, the hole in the piece of sheet metal will locate the hole in the axel fitting.

New to the Forum Joe, Welcome to the list. congrats on your new Kolb . The biggest difference between your Kolb and what you are used to, is it has more drag and slows down quickly. You dont want to flare it until you are close to the ground. The closer the better. Actually you hardly flare at all. Just fly it to about a foot off the ground and back of the throttle. If you flare like a conventional craft you are asking for trouble. Good Luck, Ed Diebel ( Firefly 62 In Houston) 80* today **************It's Tax Time!
