| Subject: | Re: Horizontal stab position |
Hi Tony,
Before you change anything, how did the plane fly? I had an issue like this on
my MkIII Xtra that made the aircraft unsafe to fly, but if the flight went
well on your aircraft maybe there are no changes to be made.
Now, like John H mentioned, if the aircraft needed full up trim then maybe the
Horz Stab angle is set incorrectly. But all these planes are a little different
to each other and I would review the flight handling first before making
any change. Also, make small changes using washers, etc, if you can, until you
get it dialed in.
Safe flying.
FrankD
N1014S, MkIIIXtra.

Subject: Kolb-List: 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...
=C2- Thus far , I am missing motor mounts, rudder and elevator cables.
tail wheel rod, seat webbing,right axle.=C2- Likely in a box that went to
the L.A. county landfill! :-)=C2- Herb

The L.E. position of the horiz. stab. has been changed several times since the
Xtra came out. I set mine per instructions from Brian at TNK and it has worked
great. I think it was given in degrees using the motor mounts as a base. He
also gave me the wing angle based on the same. I used a digital level. Call
Travis or Brian for information.
