Once was well... not right but twice is really wrong. This is a Kolb web
site not for your personal home sales. Please stop.

I echo Rick Neilsen's sentiments.
You are off base and out of line.
We build and fly Kolb aircraft here.
Try Barn Stormers.
I don't have a half million dollars for a new home. Besides, I already have
an airstrip.

Hi:
Bought a used, high time (740 hours) Firestar back in January, and have
been attending to the usual maintenance issues, all non-airworthy items.
Flew the plane three times so far and it is a real delight compared to
the Quicksilvers I flew for about 12 years.
During the preflight check before the fourth flight Friday (6/11), I
hear a scraping noise under the seat during the preflight check of the
controls. Thought at first it was something under the seat rubbing
against the cable, but nothing there. The visible part of the cable
looked and felt okay. Discovered that one of the elevator cables was
slightly frayed just aft of the pulley. Couldn't see it, but could feel
it. So, no more flying until the cables are replaced.
Called Kolb and got the part numbers for all the cable components but I
don't have a set plans, just the building instructions. Nothing much in
there about the procedure for re-installing the cables, so I'm asking
for some guidance. I do know they need to be taut, and each cable must
stay that way when the stick is moved forward and back. Also know that
one cable can't go slack when the other is taut.
Also need to know if the economy swaging tools (the screw type) can be
used easily when doing this. Welcome your insights.

Can't help with plans.... but seems you have one to copy. If you tie a
small rope to one end and pull it through... make a new cable the same
length as the old. Then pull back in place with the rope to reinstall.
The only problem with this is if there had been any major stretch to the
cable. In which case you would make it a bit shorter, you could check for
this by seeing how much adjustment is in the turnbuckle. Middle of the
adjustment make the same length,,, adjustment all the way in,,, make it a
bit shorter, so you will have room to adjust again.
The economy swaging tool seem to work ok for me.

Yep, one like this is all you need. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/topages/no2swageit.php
Doesn't hurt to practice a bit with some extra cable and waste a few sleeves if
you've not done any before. IMO, a box end wrench is easier than a socket and
ratchet. Run one bolt down a bit, then the other, then back, etc. Clamping the
tool in a vise while you are doing things also helps. If you are having trouble
keeping the wires the tension and position you want, small split bolt grounding
clamps are useful to keep everything in position and won't hurt your cables.

I like to use two sleeves per thimble and also cut the ends off the thimbles first,
makes them fit better and they will not get loose.

The elevator trim on my Mark III is set up so that it takes full forward on the
lever just to give me neutral elevator. How do I correct so that lever is at
mid point for neutral elevator?

K.Toney=2C
On my MkIII=2C there's a long steel strap (that I fabricated according to
the plans)=2C
that goes from the double spring arrangment to the lever arm of the trim ta
b. If I needed to correct my tension like you say you need to do=2C I'd si
mply relocate the present hole in the strap to a closer hole on the strap
=2C thereby shortening the effective cable length.
At any rate=2C you should be able to redo your strap mount a hole or two
shorter.
