No, I've done this mod on a IIIC and a IIIX. The only difference you might
notice is that it will release to full caster a little easier since the
shorter rod doesn't flex as much.

It's the same as you have, just a 6" wheel instead of 4", and a spring mount
instead of a rod mount.

Great Post...and Great videos Dave...cant tell you how much I miss that machine!
I the last 33 years..I have owned 8 Flying machines...built 6 of em..and that
one is the one I look back on with the most desire to fly again....none other
are even a close second. I think about it often, as I am looking for my next
project, and my summary thoughts are, The FlagFly is the ONLY one that did everything
I told it to..and NOTHING else..all the rest did things I didnt tell
them to..each to varing degrees, and as pilot in command there was effort spent
KEEPING in command...not so with the Kolb...It minded better than anything I
have ever had the pleasure to fly.
AS to my current ride...its OK..logged my 268th hour in it today...but it is always
doing things I dont tell it to....
