The KXP wings on mine are (not) full length-they are 27' 6" with 8 ribs.

Possums- You said you have 8 rib wings. Are you counting the ends? Travis told
me not to count the ends, only the full ribs in between. Mine are 27'6", 5 ribs,
3 false ribs in between, and 1 false rib outboard of the last rib. I don't
know for sure that they are from a KXP, but assume so because of the mounts being
2 1/2" shorter than a newer Firestar. The rear mount is a big, heavy lug that
had to be ground to fit the u-joint. I also had to slide it in about an inch,
rotate, and re-drill the hole in the inspection panel in order to get the
wings straight. This allowed me to saw off about an inch of the very heavy tube
on the lugs with no loss of strength.
When I first put the wings on, the tips were forward a couple of inches in a
"V" shape. I could have extended the front mount- adding weight- or do what I
did, cutting weight. I still have to do a CG, but with the Firestar's large gross
weight of 725 I think I have a lot of lee way.
One thing I don't like that is not a problem for local flying. I need a box
or step ladder to put gas in it. The tank is mounted high, and is hard to access
with the wings in the flying position. The tank is still 10 gallon, and I
will put a limiting tube in the filler, as suggested by someone on the list. At
least until I get a 5 gallon. I don't see an easy way to change the tank. Looks
like the cage was built around it- a very tight fit. Looks like more Stits
work.
Re: Ceiling. I live at 60 feet MSL, and smoke, and am a former welder. I have
never (other than an airliner) been above 2000', other than 1/2 hour on Mt.

As long as you're _absolutely_ certain that you can get the 5 gallon tank
in, you could cut the old one up to get it out...

Is anybody flying down from south NY or north NJ? I'd love to meet up at
Smoketown and/or go to Shreveport afterwards but that's too far in the
wrong direction for me (I'm in CT). As it is I'll most likely trailer my
plane all the way to Homer's. I assume there's no camping at Homer's?

Mike,
What is the angle difference between the bottom of the wing and the
horizontal stabilizer? This difference relationship is what is important.
In the FireFly the distance from the boom tube front mounting ring to the
cage cross hole is very short. This being so, a small cross hole offset or
warp in the cage can make a large difference at the tail position.

Subject: | Setting up your wing incidences |
I changed the subject line to reflect the proper subject matter. Mike W
Mike B.
A few weeks back I requested information regarding wing incidences and ho
rizontal
stabilizer incidences on MkIII Xtras. A good chap in England (John Codd) w
as kind enough to
furnish the readings on 2 of the local Xtras. I also talked to Brian, at T
NK Tech Support, and
received the reading for the new Xtra (likely the one John H. is flying bet
ween rain drops), plus
yours.
If I recall correctly, your readings were "off the most" from the average
s. I absolutely concur
with Mike & "Jaz", and Steve B., I think your incidences are possibly off a
little, which MAY be
fighting each other.
I have all the results of the readings of John Codd and Brian if you want
them. Just let me know.
If I were you, I would investigate this situation with a vengeance, and tho
roughly establish that
your wings are rigged 100% properly.
My impression is a MkIII Xtra with a 100 hp motor should be able to fly f
aster than just 85 mph.
Just my opinion, but "sumptin's up!!". Oh, and change that h.s. fitting!!
Like Steve said, if that failed,
you're toast!!

Dana- I think I will get the tank before I decide what to do. the 10 gallon tank
is mounted high, over the BRS. The BRS is fully enclosed, and fires out the
side through the fabric. maybe I can access through the seat back, but I think
there is a strut in the way.

Jack,
I think I just figured out Mike B wing angle setting problem. After talk
ing to Brian @ TNK Tech Support, awhile back,
he explained to me that with the redesign of the Xtra's wedge nose, this pr
oduced a huge "nose
down" phenomenon, when compared to higher setting for a Classic, hence the
relocation angle of the main wings, compared to a Classic. I am under the
impression Mike B's wings are too high, pitching down the fuselage wedge, a
nd requiring a significant deviation of the hor. stab.'s angle from normal.
The incidence measurements I got from Brian SHOULD be what Mike B's plane
should be set at.

Subject: | Re: fuel system plumbing, aux tank |
In everything aircraft I take the RISK approach.
The fewer points of failure you introduce into a system the less likely it is to
fail.
Points of potential failure in a fuel system are:
Valves, T's(Fittings of any kind ie couplers, quick disconnects etc), filters,
pumps, electrical, and of course the operator.
Failures in the above result from:
Vibration, cracks, corrosion, air leaks, blockage, electrical failure(Loose wire
or poor continuity), material failures due to age, heat, cold, brittleness,
flexibility or lack of it(Kinked lines or cracking ones), distracted operator
etc.
You get the picture....!
What ever you do just keep the points of failure to the absolute minimum that you
can live with.
And remember that inconvenience on the GROUND is infinitely LESS RISKY than a problem
in the AIR.

Subject: | Horizontal stabilizer mounting |
Mike B.
I just went back and examined your modification to the hor. stab. mount.
OH MY GOD!!! You used aluminum (!!!) to relocate that position!! And you
had to
notch it, to boot. I would red tag your plane immediately, if I was an FAA
inspector!!
If one of those aluminum straps let go, it would place an enormous amount
of twisting
force on on the one remaining, with a likely failure of the second one almo
st instantaneous.
You have been lucky so far, don't push your luck any further.
The very LEAST you should have done is make the extension out of 1/8" 413
0 chromoly!!
However, it is my opinion you wings are NOT set correctly, and this require
d an "odd"
hor. stab. setting is the result.
You need to set your wings correctly, to within a gnat's ass of perfect,
THEN reset the
hor. stab. to recommended position.
I did a lot of research recently regarding setting up the wings the MkIII
(both Classic and Xtra)
With my nose redesign on my MkIII I knew this would adversely affect the pr
esent position of
my current and older incidence setting. I would highly recommend you do yo
ur own research
to resolve your situation.
And, for God's sake, don't fly that sucker until you get it right!! (and
get those aluminum straps
off!!

Mike,
Can you post the wing incidence angles you got from Brian ? According to the
numbers I have, my wings are dead on at + 3 degrees, and the boom is also right
on. I am supposed to have the Xtra numbers, but it wont hurt to confirm them.

John,
If I turn on the Pump before the Mains are empty, they will overfill and the excess
goes out the vent tube on the bottom on the plane. Other than wasting fuel
at almost 4 bucks a gallon, no harm is done. If I forget the valve, the
fuel simply wont be drawn by the pump. Not quite as easy as the single large
tank in your plane, but for 150 bucks and minimal work, it is a very good solution
for those that would like more fuel for a stock MK III setup.
Kolbs new tank is the best answer, I put my tank in before that was available.
I will leave my tank in even when I get the new 18 gallon tank, as that will
give me 24 gallons if I ever need it.
The noise proofing I did in my plane is quite effective, and the pump is right
behind me. I can hear it in flight, and it gets louder if its left and it stops
drawing fuel.

Mike W:
I think you will find as you get some time in Kolbs, which is a pusher,
the problem with nose down pitch is the high thrust line coupled with
the pusher configuration. The more power applied to that high "lever",
the more nose up pitch trim the aircraft will require to take pressure
off the stick.
My mkIII with no power flies level with no pitch trim. As soon as the
power starts coming up, the nose will want to go down and nose up pitch
will be required to take pressure off the stick.
Now......add a passenger in the other seat and it takes a great deal
more nose up pitch trim to take pressure off the stick.
Wing incidence doesn't affect pitch trim, as far as I know.
Kolbs are different animals than many other aircraft. Takes a little
time and a lot of flying to get to know them well. I am still learning.
Learned something new the other day with the new X.

Classic. I am under the impression Mike B's wings are too high,
pitching down the fuselage wedge, and requiring a significant deviation
of the hor. stab.'s angle from normal.

Mike W:
Maybe you need to do some more research.
I'm willing to bet the wing incidence is set correctly on Mike B's X.
Bryan Melborne built his airplane.
BTW: I fly with factory wing incidence, but have dropped the leading
edge of my horizontal stabilizer. Been flying this way since day one,
with some experimentation up and down, until I found the "sweet spot".
Once I found that, no further experimentation needed.

You need to set your wings correctly, to within a gnat's ass of
perfect, THEN reset the
hor. stab. to recommended position.
I did a lot of research recently regarding setting up the wings the
MkIII (both Classic and Xtra)
With my nose redesign on my MkIII I knew this would adversely affect
the present position of
my current and older incidence setting. I would highly recommend you
do your own research
to resolve your situation.

Subject: | Re: Horizontal stabilizer mounting |
Mike,
Thanks for your concern and warning, but those are thicker and stronger than they
look in the picture. The extensions are not straps, are 3/8 inch thick aluminum
blocks and made out of 6061-T6 aluminum. They are are much stronger than
the tab that sticks out of the horizontal stab and attaches to them ( Which
is loaded a bending force ). If one of the aluminum blocks broke, the one remaining
would not only hold, it would still be stronger than the small 4130 tab
that comes out of the horizontal stab.
I considered using the same 1/8 inch 4130 steel that the original tabs are made
out of, but the aluminum is corrosion proof,and at 3/8 inch thick is much stiffer
and stronger.
4130 ChomMoly Tensile Strength = 90,000 PSI
6061-T6 Aluminum Tensile Strength = 45,000 PSI
Considering that the aluminum block is 3 times as thick as the 4130 steel they
are attached to, I calculate it at 50 % stronger. Overkill, but I like strong
:)
I do thank you for the warning though, I would rather have to recalculate and rethink
a structural component than have something break on me on the very slim
chance that I made a mistake [Wink]

Mike:
Looks like Murphy is sitting right by your fuel pump switch and fuel valve.
If you forget to turn it on before you run dry on the main tanks, it might
get suddenly quiet.
I initially had a Ken Brock 9 gal seat tank in my FS. Used the 5 gal
original tank as an aux. Normal procedure was fly 2.0 hrs off the clock and
turn on the drain valve. On two seperate occassions I forgot to turn on the
valve at 2.0 hrs. First one put me on the ground between Perry and Live
Oak, FL. Second one was low level over cultivated fields on the south side
of Lake Okeechobie, FL. I lucked out and got a hand restart before I hit
the ground, which would have torn up my airplane in those conditions.

John H.
I am aware of the nose down tendency of the raised rear engine mount. Al
though my experience with
this tendency is very faded. It has been a few years since I was training
to fly a Quicksilver MXII, w/582.
But, is this "nose down" force real significant? I just can't recall, my
self.
What I was getting at was my conversation with Brain, where he stated tha
t when TNK was doing the
initial flight testing of the Xtra, they evidently hadn't remounted the lea
ding edge position of the h.stab. &
main wings, yet. It appears as thought the wedge design was "plowing" int
o the air, creating a tremendous
nose down force (with the hor. stab. and the main wings not relocated yet f
rom the higher Classic position.)
One thing I am NOT is an authority on much. You want to know about concr
ete and building, I'm your man!!!
But, when it comes to building and flying Kolbs, I'm a novice at best. Pre
tty much all of the performance,
characteristics, tendencies, etc. of a Kolb is/will be new to me. One thin
g I have is an open mind, to listen
to the advice of others, especially those that do know what the hell they'r
e talking about.
Something still seems to be a little off regarding Mike B's plane. 85 mp
h top speed, with the 912S, strikes me
he has something out of whack. Wing settings, prop pitch, something.
These are all the bugs I want ironed out of my plane prior to the first f
light!!! I assume nothing!!

Subject: | wing and hor stab incidences |
Mike B & others,
These are the measurements, in degrees, of the planes I have been given.
These readings are predicated on setting your main wings to 9 degrees, fir
st!! By setting the main wings to 9 degrees, your landing gear has nothing
to do with any further measurements.
For anyone else that wants to check and verify these figures, feel free t
o chime in. But, remember, prop up your wings to 9 degrees, or all these f
igures are useless. You have to have a basic reference point to begin, I j
ust happened to choose 9 degrees......
In analyzing these figures, be be honest, what these SHOULD be applied to
is a drawing!!! I see where Brian's angle under the fuselage is off by a
huge margin. Why? He likely took a reading from a different location, tha
n the others.

Cool, that makes things easier. I thought I remembered from last year
(never got the plane ready in time) that nobody was camping there. I'll be
driving down in the morning from my NY cabin but the long return trip in
the evening after a long day outdoors and flying is always a
drag. Fortunately with the US there's plenty of room to sack out below the
tail boom when the plane's in the trailer.

I had a conversation with Barnaby Wilifan at Oshkosh the year New Kolb
introduced the MKIIIX (Barnaby did the design for the Xtra). He
indicated that he wanted Kolb to raise the nose a bit because he felt it
was flying a bit nose low creating more drag than he wanted to see. I
don't know if Kolb reduced the angle of attack of the wing but a few
other things would need to be changed like longer gear legs and
reposition the horizontal stabilizer. Not sure if it is related but when
you buy the longer gear legs for the Xtra the factory wants you to lower
the angle of attack on the wing.
Most 80 HP Rotax MKIIICs and my VW powered MKIIIC cruise at 75MPH. The
factory claims 10 MPH improvement with the Xtra so 85MPH seems about
right. I know when I have flown cross country with the 100HP MKIIIC guys
they are always giving me a rough time about how slow my plane is. I
think a 100 HP MKIIIC cruises about 80.
Again worth what you paid for it

I am aware of the nose down tendency of the raised rear engine
mount. Although my experience with
this tendency is very faded. It has been a few years since I was
training to fly a Quicksilver MXII, w/582.
But, is this "nose down" force real significant? I just can't
recall, myself.
What I was getting at was my conversation with Brain, where he
stated that when TNK was doing the
initial flight testing of the Xtra, they evidently hadn't remounted
the leading edge position of the h.stab. &
main wings, yet. It appears as thought the wedge design was
"plowing" into the air, creating a tremendous
nose down force (with the hor. stab. and the main wings not relocated
yet from the higher Classic position.)
One thing I am NOT is an authority on much. You want to know about
concrete and building, I'm your man!!!
But, when it comes to building and flying Kolbs, I'm a novice at best.
Pretty much all of the performance,
characteristics, tendencies, etc. of a Kolb is/will be new to me. One
thing I have is an open mind, to listen
to the advice of others, especially those that do know what the hell
they're talking about.
Something still seems to be a little off regarding Mike B's plane.
85 mph top speed, with the 912S, strikes me
he has something out of whack. Wing settings, prop pitch, something.
These are all the bugs I want ironed out of my plane prior to the
first flight!!! I assume nothing!!

I think you will find as you get some time in Kolbs, which is a
pusher, the problem with nose down pitch is the high thrust line coupled
with the pusher configuration. The more power applied to that high
"lever", the more nose up pitch trim the aircraft will require to take
pressure off the stick.
My mkIII with no power flies level with no pitch trim. As soon as
the power starts coming up, the nose will want to go down and nose up
pitch will be required to take pressure off the stick.
Now......add a passenger in the other seat and it takes a great deal
more nose up pitch trim to take pressure off the stick.
Wing incidence doesn't affect pitch trim, as far as I know.
Kolbs are different animals than many other aircraft. Takes a
little time and a lot of flying to get to know them well. I am still
learning. Learned something new the other day with the new X.

Mike,
I did not mean to imply that my top speed was 85 MPH, I was trying to say that
to go that fast, it took a lot of throttle, much more than I like to run at cruise
which is about half.
I have never gone as fast as the plane would go in level flight, I always back
off the throttle when it gets in the 80's... I have just never wanted to go
any faster in my Kolb. I did see 90 once by accident, on a steep approach, looking
back for the 172 that was behind me on final :) When I looked foward,
speed had crept up to 90 MPH [Shocked]
Given what John H reported in his first post, I may have my prop pitched to much.
I am climbing out at 5200 RPM, I set it based on what he was reporting for
his MK III Classic. I might get better performance setting the pitch to climb
out at 5400 - 5500 RPM as John has set for the MK III Xtra he is testing now.

Rick N.,
Those are the specific issues I was referring to, namely the nose down te
ndency of the Xtra wedge.
Yes, ALL the wings and stabilizers setting are different on the Xtra, compa
red to a Classic due to this
newer design.
Additionally, if one goes to the newer steel gear legs, which are taller,
this also requires a
change in wing position...which requires a stab. reposition.
John H. says that Mike B's plane was built by Bryan Melbourne. Although
I don't know much about this
gentleman, from what I understand he is one of the leading Kolb authorities
. In other words, he knows
what the heck he's doing. Then why the radical remount of the leading edge
of the hor. stab.???
Is it possible, just possible, his wings are mounted in the lower, alumin
um gear leg position?
A quick answer to this question is: Mike B, at what location is your win
g tabs drilled and mounted?
I was told by Brian that IF you have the steel legs, the tab is drilled at
the TOP, on the wing root tab.
Have you checked??
BTW, when Mike B. stated his plane had a serious "nose down" tendency, I
understood him to say he
meant during cruise, not just when adding power, the usual action of a high
mounted rear engine. I
could be wrong, but that is what I thought he was getting at.

Oh. Okay.
I thought you meant full-out throttle was 85. Ok.
But, I'm still a little curious about the non-OEM suggested hor. stab. mo
unting
position, though.
Another question I have is: If you DID go 90 mph in your plane, does you
're windshield
flex down? Seems like a lot of down force. I was just wondering.

I know of four, no five MKIII's that cruise 85 mph at 5,000 with 80 and
100 hp engines.
My MKIII was initially powered with a 65 hp Rotax, then an 80 and now a
100. Cruise was 80 mph, 85 mph, and 88 mph at normal cruise rpm which
was 5,800 for the two stroke and 5,000 for the 912's.
Take care,

Mike B & others,
These are the measurements, in degrees, of the planes I have been given.
These readings are predicated on setting your main wings to 9 degrees, first!!
By setting the main wings to 9 degrees, your landing gear has nothing to do
with any further measurements.
For anyone else that wants to check and verify these figures, feel free to
chime in. But, remember, prop up your wings to 9 degrees, or all these
figures are useless. You have to have a basic reference point to begin, I just
happened to choose 9 degrees......
In analyzing these figures, be be honest, what these SHOULD be applied to is
a drawing!!! I see where Brian's angle under the fuselage is off by a huge
margin. Why? He likely took a reading from a different location, than the
others.

Mike W:
I am a Kolb man. No experience in any other ULs and very little in a
152, just enough to get a private ticket after I retired from the Army.
Unlike the Kolb, the MX engine is mounted inverted beneath the wing.
The thrust line is below the wing, not well above the wing like our
Kolbs. I am sure there is a big difference in handling and flight
characteristics, opposite thrust lines.
Every Kolb I have flown has had to be tuned up and tweaked to get it to
fly like the builder/flyer wants it to. I don't know of anyone with the
capability of most of us, working in basements, garages, and living
rooms, could build something as sophisticated at an airplane and get it
to fly 100% right out of the box.
If you can iron out all the bugs before the first flight, you are a
better man than me. ;-)
Most Kolbs hit an invisible wall, after which no amount of power is
going to make enough difference to make them into a Glasair. I have
accepted my mkIII is an 85 mph airplane. Have been able to cover great
distances with it and still get back home. If I had been flying all
those hours and miles with a 300 mph airplane, there are times I would
have been bored in it the same as I get, at times, in my mkIII flying
over long, boring, uncomfortable wind condition places. However, when
the terrain and the flying get exciting again, I rarely thing of how
fast I am flying across the ground.
Take care,

Labhart Field, KY
I am aware of the nose down tendency of the raised rear engine
mount. Although my experience with
this tendency is very faded. It has been a few years since I was
training to fly a Quicksilver MXII, w/582.
Something still seems to be a little off regarding Mike B's plane.
85 mph top speed, with the 912S, strikes me
he has something out of whack. Wing settings, prop pitch, something.
These are all the bugs I want ironed out of my plane prior to the
first flight!!! I assume nothing!!

Hi Bill,
I would just install a filler "down pipe" that limits you to ~5 gals and forget
about replacing the tank, if it is still in decent condition.
As long as you can not modify that fill limiter easily while fueling then it should
be perfectly legal for part 103.
Since you have your weight made your in good shape.
I'm the guy with the 15 Gal fiberglass behind seat tank in my UltraStar, and will
be doing likewise with a filler "down Pipe" limiter this week to comply with
part 103.
Your project sounds very interesting....I'm sure the excitement level is mounting.
A good long strip with open fields all around is probably in order for your first
test hops.
Especially since your not sure about the Angle of Incidence and are entering experimental
territory.
I would also suggest you get another Kolber to take a good look over your aircraft
in detail to make sure everything "looks right".
Looking forward to hearing about your progress.

Hi Dana,
Do you have a complete list of UltraStar concerns/bookmarks available?
I'd sure be interested to see what else you found.
I will note those and check them out.
The diagonal bracing is a couple tubes that attach to the leading edge at one end
and are attached to the Main tube spare at the other forming a triangle between
the main spar tube, a rib and the diagonal brace.
They prevent the leading edge from moving towards the tip or root directions from
vibration, uneven skin covering tension spanwise, flight loads and rough ground
handling.
Your sleeve connecting the two leading edges might help that some if clamped tight.

John H.
A minor point of clarification....the MXII I was training in was a top mount
582. You are correct, in that most Quicks were inverted, but I wasn't clear
to mention I meant a "top mounted" version. (see photo) And my experience level
is was/still is beginner to novice. I think I had about 12-15 hours, total,
prior to deciding to get my regular private pilot license.
I know the top mounted style aircraft exerts a downward push on the nose, I
just don't recall how much. (I flew the Quicks as a trainee back in 1993-1994,
and never soloed)
I doubt very seriously if I get my MkIII correct, right out of the box(es).
I most certainly want to al least get it close. I made a terrible assumption,
once before, about flying ultralights. Very bad results. I'd like to think
I no longer assume anything. Verification and assurance of facts, IMO, is a
good route.
My flying experience is also quite limited. Trained in a C-150, got about
15 hours of
misc. training in the MXII's, bought my first C-172, sold it to build this MkIII,
bought my present C-172, and it's for sale (Trade a Plane). Maybe a total
of about 600 hours. I have enough experience to know I need to be instucted
in a Kolb prior to flying one!!
The reason for the sale of my Cessna is that I believe my finished MkIII will
be all the airplane I will need. My intention isn't to really make it "scream
along", just fly within it's
expected, and properly tuned parameters.

Dana,
Hold your horses!! John was speaking off the cuff. Neither he nor I
have talked to Homer about a group camping there. When we set this up
it was to be as least intrusive as possible. They already go out of
their way hosting this and providing us with a picnic lunch. Please
wait until either John or I have a chance to approach Homer with this idea.
That is why last year I didn't promote the idea and provided
alternatives for camping. John has a lot of history with Homer and his
relationship goes way back and I'm sure he is welcome there any time. I
don't think it is proper for the rest of us to presume! I will keep the
list informed.

If I tell you my Firestar's top speed straight and level is 100mph and
stalls at 18mph with VGs would you be impressed?
What if I posted actual pictures of my air-speed indicator reading
those figures?
I believe it prudent to view all posted air speeds with a healthy
degree of skepticism because of the significant variations in air-
speed indicators from one plane to another.
For me it is merely interesting information with little real value.

On the other hand, if you ever develop even a slight bit of play in
your wing attach points you will
put "extreme stress" on those critical little diagonal braces inside
your wing.
Are you sure that is what you really want to do?

Every Quicksilver I've flown had the engine above the wing. Some have had
a bottom mounted engine, but in either case, the thrust line is very close
to the wing. Not as high as a Kolb (except, of course, an Ultrastar), but
a Quick is also kinda strung out vertically, so there's a lot of drag down
low. There is significant pitch trim change with power.

Yes, I understand that. I wasn't sure if that's what John was referring to
as "lateral bracing".
>Your sleeve connecting the two leading edges might help that some if
>clamped tight.
No, that provides no spanwise support. I imagine it was originally
installed to support the center gap seal, but it would also tend to prevent
relative vertical motion of the leading edges (i.e. wing twist).

The sleeve isn't clamped tight; it's just a short piece of the next size
larger tubing slipped over the leading edge tubes. It stays on one side,
then when the wings are unfolded it slips to the center and spans across
both. There's no spanwise support other than friction, though I expect it
might help to prevent any relative vertical motion (wing twist).
Still, I have to think on this. There's always a "slight bit of play" in
any connection, and although I presume it was added to help support the
wing gap seal, I don't know that it's actually that important... and it IS
kind of a PITA to slip into place. OTOH, it WOULD add some additional
support in the event of a failure at some other point.

Looks like you have a very nice project going.
I used the same concept. The soft pack is not mounted (when the pic was shot)
but it fits under the lexan and exists out the hinged door (although I have not
tested it). The only thing I do not like is the the Velcro is tenacious in
its grip and hard to remove the seal. But I know it is not going to be flapping
in the wind.
Wish I could go to Sun & Fun .... :?

Ray- For now, I am doing what you are- a filler down pipe. Easiest way until next

written on parchment using berries for ink. I am a little out of date. I could
bring it to a friend's farm and get some time in, but unless I get led around
I have an excellent chance of becoming an aluminum bug on the windshield of

I have removed the fuel tank from my Original FireStar by first
disconnecting the vertical control rod that operates the ailerons. With that
out of the

Ray- I forgot. The reason I questioned the angle of incidence was that the KXP
wings had 3 holes on the forward mount. The center one worked out for the correct
angle. I was wondering if anyone had had occassion to experiment- looks
like others are discussing this now, and I'm learning. I am not going to try anything
funny at this point. Once I know the habits of this thing I may pull the
adapter channels off and drill two more holes in each.

Steve:
I see how you did that now. Much better than mine!
I think I may have another project to add to my to-do list. Mine is similar to
yours but .... not as nicely done.
Thanks for pointing that detail out. I can add some more fasteners to mine, I
used fasteners around my engine. The Velcro is a b%#@ to separate and I need
to slide in a strip of plastic to get the darn thing on/off.
Thanks,
Jim

Bill Sullivan,
Ooops! I forgot that you have a 10 gallon tank. That might not fit through
the space I talked about below.

Bill,
I have removed the fuel tank from my Original FireStar by first
disconnecting the vertical control rod that operates the ailerons. With that
out of the
way, the tank can be maneuvered, with a little finagling, through that
triangular space, into the cockpit area.

think there is a strut in the way.

Subject: | Mark III Landing gear wheel alignment |
The Wheels on my plane are not set right as of now they are set like this:
Left gear: toe out 2.5*
Right gear: toe in 5.5*
This gives my plane a left sideways track.
What is the easiest way to correct this? We were thinking to ream out the hole
in the (axle holder) the steel piece on the end of the landing gear leg so that
the axle holder can be rotated on the gear leg to the right position. Once
the right position is set the enlarged hole will be welded partially shut and
re drilled to round the hole in the correct position.
What are your thoughts on this?

Subject: | Re: Mark III Landing gear wheel alignment |
without looking at your particular problem there are a couple ways to look
at it you could drill the holes out bigger on the 4130 axle piece that slips
over the aluminum gear leg install big enough washers ,align the gear and
weld the washers in place to hold it in place I would tack weld it make sure
the gear is where you want it then remove to finish welding it or You could
look at re drilling on the upper end of the gear leg to get your gear lined
up mabe slide the leg in or out a bit to give you a good solid hole placement
worth what you paid for it have fun

What is the Velcro for, then?
My gap seal is held on with Velcro... but it's a soft (clear vinyl) seal so
it peels off relatively easy as I roll it up.

Subject: | Re: Firestar Project |
Bill,
I pulled out my old Firestar plans and took a look. It looks like you have KX
wings. My plans have two wing versions, a five rib "KX only" and seven rib "KXP
only".
The plans show no difference at the rear drag strut fitting between models. I'm
not sure why the fitting was sticking out so far on your wing set. The plans
show the center of the trailing edge end of the hole in the drag strut fitting
as protruding 3/4" from the rib. This would put the end toward the leading
edge at just less than an inch.
I have attached a quick (not to scale) sketch of the area to clarify the above.
If you have trouble with the .pdf let me know and I can post it as a jpeg.
You are going to love your plane. Light Firestars are a delight to fly.

Hey John W
Not everyone knows that you fly a 100HP Rotax powered Kolbra. I assume the
figures were in that bird. It would drive these guys crazy trying to match
those numbers in a Xtra.

Grant,
I did my FS a couple months ago. Took the wheels off, axles out, used
a fiberglass rod or electric conduit through both axles to align. I pulled my
aluminum gear legs out a half inch and re drilled the top holes. I did lower
the axles to the ground and load the gear before drilling.
Fly Safe,
Wade

Roger- The drawing you posted looks exactly like the original wings on my plane.
The replacement wing set has a rear mount that was mounted 90 degrees off from
the drawing (the attaching bolt for the u-joint goes the other way from the
drawing.) The mount on the new wing set is a massive lug compared to the original
(pictured). Dimensions from front to rear were different by a couple of inches.
Maybe my plane is a Firestar/KX. What year are those plans?
