| Subject: | Horizontal stab position |
My Kolb flew again yesterday, and the test pilot, another Mk3x owner,
commented that the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer appeared to be
set too high on the boom. Could someone send me some photos of one
correctly fixed. Aussie Tony

Tony:
Can you send us a photo of your horizontal stabilizer?
What was the test pilot's observation of the horizontal stabilizer based
on?
Was it, by chance, because the aircraft needs nose up pitch trim?

| Subject: | Firefly quick build and Danny Day |
Trying to locate Danny Day...mentioned in an UL news article a few weeks
back... Engine rebuilder in Phoenix Arizona...I have two engines which
have had the Rotax label removed and his name and probably a serial
number engraved on a copper plate installed in its place... I need to
know the history of these engines.. for I bought them and a Kolb Firefly
quick build and a Trike from an estate in LA County California...I
suspect that they are fresh rebuilds or low time engines...but cannot be
sure...one is a 447 that looks new...the other is a nice running 503...
I plan to sell the trike and and the 503 and finish the Firefly...and
keep the 447 for it...
Thus far , I am missing motor mounts, rudder and elevator cables.
tail wheel rod, seat webbing,right axle. Likely in a box that went to
the L.A. county landfill! :-) Herb

Dude, I'll do you better than that: here is what's left of the blueprints that
tell you exactly where they are supposed to go. The front of the horizontal stab
is even with the top of the boom tube. Parts of the blueprint are missing:
the mice got hungry.
