Guys, i may be wrong but to get on the Kolb Facebook group you need to join facebook
yourself, than search for the Kolb Aircraft group and join.
I don't think its something Travis has to add you too.
Again, correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm not sure if any of these are the "official" one. Maybe Travis can tell
us?

Subject: | aileron gap seal |
OK, one more question about wings and ailerons and painting.
If you used the fabric method of installing the gap seal, did you put the
aileron on the wing and install the gap seal prior to paining?
If you paint first (meaning if you paint the ailerons and wings before final
assembly, how do you get the fabric gap seal in place and painted to match?
I am seriously considering just painting mine prior to assembly as the paint
scheme will allow for easy alignment of the paint lines. Then just using
the book binding tape for the gap seal.
I am open to any tales of woe or success using either method of gap seal.
Thanks,
Stuart
Still dreaming about the far off day when I may actually get to paint my
Firefly.

Subject: | wing painting question |
For those of you who carried your paint scheme from the wings onto the
ailerons, did you assemble the wing and aileron before you painted or after?
If you painted them separately, what kind of steps did you take to make sure
the paint lined up from surface to surface?
If you assembled them before painting, how did you mask everything off to
assure no overspray?
Thanks,
Stuart
Still working on tail feathers. Sheesh, that is time consuming, and
discouraging.

Subject: | Re: aileron gap seal |
just started my 3rd season using the book binding tape. No deterioration showing
up yet. My plane is hangared though. The tape is cheap and easy to install.
As far as carrying your paint trim from wing through your ailerons, paint your
base color first on both items. Then after the required drying time temporarily
attach the hinges to the wing or the aileron using a few sheet metal screws.
Your holes should have been drilled already at this point. Attach the aileron
to the wing across some horses or other suitable surface large enough to accommodate
the width of both making sure not to damage your base coat of paint.
Lay out your trim tape as necessary with the aileron in a neutral position. Flip
assembly over(with some help) and trim the other side if necessary. Disassemble,
finish masking with paper and paint wing and aileron separately. It's not
difficult but is time consuming. Polytone paint is very forgiving. Paint
your parts horizontally as much as possible and the paint will nicely lay out
if you have your gun set right. I had never painted anything ever before and I
was very satisfied with the result when I was done. If you are using Polytone,
just follow the book and everything will be fine.

Right now the FB group simply called Kolb has 98 members. I don't think it's
either of the three you show here.

I've been looking at Puddle Jumper amphib floats for my M3X. Anybody got
any experience or better ideas?
