It has the single center stick controls and I am wanting to put in a set of dual controls. >> Guideman - Consider flying it for a while with the single center stick before installing dual sticks. You might like it. I have flown both varieties of Mark-III, and I much prefer the single stick configuration. The center stick falls very naturally and comfortably to hand, when sitting in the left seat. Also, the center stick is taller, giving more leverage and thus, less force needed to move the controls. I've seen more than one post on this Kolb List from folks who went from single to dual sticks, and regretted the decision. Choice of control stick configuration is very subjective - some like it dual, others prefer center-single. But at least give it a try first. Dennis Kirby Mark-3 / 912 New Mexico do not archive

    Subject: trailering a fire fly
    How far do you have to haul it? I took mine 20 miles to the airport. I followed the instructions in the builder=99s manual for folding and I made a tail boom stand out of an automotive jack stand. It made it, but I would not want to go much farther than that as there was enough movement of the wings against the bracket that it wore all the powder coat off of the bracket. I could not tell how much material was worn off of the aluminum spar, but it had to be at least some. For a longer move I would want the wing tips supported to the trailer, not the tail boom. $50 worth of 2X4=99s, screws and carpet scraps could save a lot of damage. In short, I think the wing fold brackets are find for sitting or moving in and out of storage, but are not good for long travels, especially on an open trailer. Search the archives, you will find much discussion and several pictures of how this has been accomplished by others. I have a few photos of the firefly folded, but will have to look to see if there are any of it loaded on the trailer.
