Had no choice in the matter, the move to FL and the complications and complexity
of starting new there created a situation where I rather take a loss on the
M3X but be free of the encumbrance of it. Gave the fellow a great deal. Maybe
he will come and join the group his name is Malcolm, he already spoke with Travis
so he knows that he got a screaming deal. He lives in Bisbee AZ near P04 airport.

those are 7075 aluminum, you better off either designing your own or getting the
steel ones from the facto

Hi Folks,
I have a Kolb MKII that I've given a few hard landings. The axles have bent and
I've used a hydrolic press to straighten them once. After doing so it wasn't
but a couple landings later that I noticed they were pretty well bent again.
I talked to a factory rep and he told me that they don't recommend straightening
them more than once. Whether right or wrong, I'm going to listen to that advice
and replace them both.
My question to the group then is what grade of aluminum are the axles made out
of?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Duane

Here are a couple of videos of me flying a Challenger on another paid mission.
Can't understand why people don't pay me to fly a Kolb.
So far every one of the ultralight experimental I flew/fly has been not fan, as
in crappy. the common denominator in all of these cases is the flexible wings.
rigid stiff wings give good response for control input, it seems that many designers
just don't get it. The the video Challenger yesterday. Took the short
flicks with my phone, have no idea where my real camera went. I also deleted
the part in the video where I was cussing the Challenger.
