Your plane is looking real good Mike, you have done a great job reproducing and
welding the tubes to make the change to the MK III Xtra. I also like the boom
dolly, just dont forget to remove it before you take off, or you are in for
one wild ride [Shocked]
I really like your aileron cable conversion, I may do that to my Kolb one day.
Can you post pictures of your aileron pulleys, their attachments, and how you
connected the cables to the ailerons themselves ?
Thanks,
Mike

Make sure to replace the brackets that were flexing, chances are they have been
weakened after 9 years of flexing. There was a Kolb that had one of those tabs
break in flight, the horizontal stab went straight up against the tail wire,
it scared the hell out of the pilot, but he was in the pattern and was able
to land :) That was a good catch, you might have saved his arse on that one
!

How did you run the cable that connects the ailerons together? Herb

Howard=2C
Since you already likely have the 3/16th holes for the first stab. mounti
ng bracket=2C I would suggest using 3/16" AN bolts. I "may" have somethin
g you could use=2C also. I say may=2C because I don't know how many I've g
ot. They are aircraft hardware. They are a bolt..that uses a hex wrench o
n the threaded end.
If you want me to see if I have 12 of 'em=2C give me a call. 573-489-980

Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Horiz. stab front attach brackets.
Was looking at my friends MkIII boom tube today & discovered that those hor
iz. stab brackets had been installed tight against the tabs on the front of
the stab[?]. I could see flexing of the brackets & tabs when the elevator
was operated. Been this way for about 9 yrs.=3B surprised nothing has bro
ken as of yet.
Question is=2C how to fix it? Do we need to make new brackets=2C using the
same rivet holes=2C with the bends to give the necessary clearance? What
are they made of=2C 4130? Would a slightly thicker stainless do?
Yeah=2C I'll be calling TNK on Monday. Just getting prepared.........

Sport Pilot is a pilot's license.
The dropped medical requirement applies to all categories=2C private=2C
commercial=2C (ok not airship and heli)
as a default rating equivalent to Sport Pilot.
They refer to it as a "privilege". As an example=2C my commercial heli
license notes that I have
