Could someone send me some photos of one correctly fixed.

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? john h mkIII Titus, Alabama From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Tony Malins Sent: Thursday, May 14, 2015 5:27 PM Subject: Kolb-List: 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.

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 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:45:36 PM PST US From: Herb Subject: Kolb-List: New Firefly quick build Here is a pic of the quick build cage..Just got the vert stab and rudder installed this evening..

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.
