Putting a starter and battery on a Firefly would likely take it out of Part 103.

| Subject: | kolb left rudder in cruise |
I have a 1997 kolb firestar II that needs 1 inch of left rudder in cruise. Has
any one ever offsetting the front of vertical fin to fix this problem. Older champs
have this done when installing larger motors. any words of wisdom out there.
My plane has no trim tab on it. Really hate to put the big trim tab in kolb
planes on the plane. looks like simple fix for bad rigging or design thanks

You can try that,probably"P" factor giving you the issue.I have seen the of
f-set vertical but I'll bet you end up with the trim tab as well.

Attached is a picture of my FSII trim tabs. These alum ones have since been replaced
with Lexan ones. Rudder is slightly smaller than one shown.
My nickel's worth.

MKIII had the same problem. Tried offsetting the upper vertical stabilizer,
but it was not effective. Best cure was a rudder trim tab.
