From: Richard Girard 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.

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.... -------- Don G.
