    Subject: Re: Frustrating posts
    From: "racerjerry" <gki@suffolk.lib.ny.us>
    Speaking of Frustrating Posts, I must add my own pet peeve: The resource wasting quoted quote of the quoted quote. I often wish that Matt would eliminate the quote attribute entirely in his forums to keep me from drowning in a sea of blue. The addition of simple quote marks to a few words or sentences should be more than adequate to clarify meaning in a response to a prior post. There is NEVER a need to highlight an entire prior post from the same thread. And when someone quotes the entire quoted response... And resize the darned pictures too. Let me just say that both practices are a terrible waste of Matt's precious resources. -------- Jerry King Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=437041#437041

    Wow Herb! Nicely done! I hope it is as nice as it looks. Even if it needs a little TLC, that is a fantastic deal. Are you planning on flying it or "flipping" it?

    Ellington is only about 20 minutes from me. I didn't know a Firefly was over there. I can't move it for you- vehicle isn't good enough to try. Ellery fetches aircraft now and then- maybe he would make the run. Bill Sullivan Windsor Locks, Ct.

    "Guideman" wrote: << I wanted to ask you where you got your larger tailwheel, mine is still the small one and I would like to put the larger one on , any information would be appreciated. Thanks, Keith >> Keith - Like you, I also wanted a tailwheel that was somewhat beefier that the stock "pizza cutter" wheel that comes with the Mark-3 kit. I bought a new full-swivel tailwheel assembly from Rans for about $250, and it uses a 3.5 inch diam solid rubber wheel. It has worked flawlessly for the past 250 hours of operation on my Kolb. The Rans unit is designed to attach to a 1-1/4 inch wide steel leaf spring. But Kolbs use a 3/4 inch diameter solid alum rod instead of a flat leaf spring. So ... As John H described, I also had to fabricate an "interface" piece that attaches to the end of the stock tailwheel strut and fits right into to Rans assembly where the flat leaf spring would go. Matco Mfg (in Salt Lake City) also makes a similar tailwheel assembly for $200 that uses a 6-inch pneumatic wheel. It's designed for a flat leaf spring, so you'd still have to make an interface part to fit on your Mark-3. Not sure if Kolb Company makes a full-swiveling tailwheel assembly. Anyone know? Anyway, there ARE options available, if you want to upgrade your tailwheel. Dennis Kirby Mark-3 / 912ul

    The pulley you linked to has a 1 inch diameter roller, the cables last longer with a larger diameter roller. I know sometimes you are limited by space limitations. Boyd
