Denny, I don't know which model Kolb you have, but if it's a Mk III the
next time you're flying take your feet off the rudder pedals. That's why
you want a firm connection between pedals and rudder.

Besides checking with Rotax for info on bad floats you might want to check
with the Bing Agency, too.

I have tension on my rudder pedals feet on or off. Kolbs, most of them,
suffer from rudder shuffle, which may lead into rudder flutter if
ignored, which is easy to do on long cross country flights over boring
terrain. I double spring'd my rudder pedals which eliminates rudder
shuffle. Richard Pike eliminated the problem on his MKIIIc by designing
a rudder counter balance weight.
Overstressing the rudder control system is a pilot problem. Depends on
how badly you scare yourself.
I've been around Kolb airplanes for a good while. First time I have
heard of a rudder bell crank failure on a MKIIIx. The other model Kolbs
don't use that system. I can testify how much abuse rudder pedals can
take by relating a few of my accidents and screw ups. Sudden stops will
peg the G meter in forward deceleration. Imagine what kind of stress
that puts on the rudder pedals.

Want to say thanks to Rex who has offered to show me his Kolb, hope to make it
there to see his, and to Frank who I did meet with, I don't know if I will ever
see a nicer one than his. Very impressive machine.
