They are nice people to deal with. Good luck Pat From: Dee LeBlanc Sent: Friday, June 19, 2015 5:22 PM Subject: Kolb-List: Conversion of Mark III to Xtra Hello Kolb Pilots, I=99m new to Matronics. I have recently acquired a Mark III which I had planned to restore; however I found that the cage was bent beyond reasonable repair. What would it take to convert the Mark III to an Xtra? I assume I can reuse the MkIII boom, wings, tail feathers, new Rotax 582, etc. I=99m not sure about the linkages for the ailerons, elevator, rudder, and flaps?? I also understand that the wing angle-of-attack needs to be changed and the lift struts are different in length. Also, not sure if MkIII gear can be reused. Any advice or recommendations will be appreciated. Thanks, Dee LeBlanc leblancds@cox.net ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Past is History The Future is a Mystery Today is a Gift That=99s Why They Call it the Present ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:39:01 AM PST US From: Herb Subject: Kolb-List: Good ole buddy ,Travis Brown Chatting with Bryan Milburn yesterday,,,he said that Travis has left and is working for Bruce Chestnut in the grocery business..
