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 ?

From: "JetPilot" 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 !

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 2 Mike Welch MkIII From: HShack@aol.com 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......... Howard Shackleford FS II SC In a message dated 5/16/2009 11:34:12 P.M.
