The guy who `helped` me with my construction kept adding bits `to strengthen things up`. An added fillet here, a brace there. All good reasonable things to do but the offshoot was that I had a very heavy machine which took some fancy figuring to get it registered. Work on the basis that Kolb have been producing planes for a long time and know what they are doing and just leave things alone.

If you cut some o of the very thin plastic from a milk bottle, or a thin plastic Pepsi or coke bottle and put between the universal joint and the frame,,, and under the washer on the inside of the universal,,,, then when it turns when you fold the wings. It should cause no wear.

Hart" Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Re: problem firestar Yes, I used very thin brass shim stock. This will not remove all of the wear because the bolt and hole both wear. It is never good for steel to wear on steel. In this case there is wear on the bolt too. The shim stock can remove the wear from the hole but can not remove the wear from the bolt. That is why I proposed the second method to fix the problem. By tapering the hole through the clevis and compressing and neoprene "O" ring, one can compress into the wear on the bolt. In doing so the bolt and the clevis hole do not touch and there is no further wear. The taper can easily be formed by using a small grinding wheel mounted in a Dremel tool. See http://www.dremel.com/en-us/tools/Pages/CategoryProducts.aspx?catid 13 If you are concerned about wear on the back side of the clevis place a thin brass shim stock washer between the clevis and the flange on the fuselage cage. Do not over tighten and use some thick grease lubricant on the "O" ring and the washer. Jack B. Hart FF004 Winchester, IN ......................................................................
