| Subject: | A swivel tailwheel question |
Has anyone switched to a swivel tail-wheel on their Kolb Firestar. If so what has
been the result either positive or negative. Where can I locate one ?
Thanks

You can get a nice tail wheel like that at TNK I put one on my firestar it
was much easier to park it and much better to move around inside the shop
it works much better that that Pizza cutter they originally come with

Hi Dennis ,
I switched to the full swivel Breakaway tail wheel that kolb sells ( $ 250 ).
expensive-- but IMHO--worth the money.
Had it about 125 hrs, no problems. Much easier ground handling And with the
addition of 2 small braces helps prevent
the vertical stabelizer breaking that sometimes happen to firestars.

till at full rudder deflection and you will be just fine
