I used PVC tubing from Home Depot. Split it down the middle with a band saw then
riveted it to the top of the tubes. Very light and has worked great so far.

All of these suggestions are good...but for simplicity and long lasting
and cheap..the book binding tape stays put...but will show the dirt on
the fabric !

| Subject: | Aileron Gap Seals |
Starting to plan ahead for sealing the aileron gaps and was hoping a few of my
fellow Kolbers might be able and willing to share some photos of gap sealing methods.
Preferably ones that work the best for them.

Use the search engine and find a post by Ray Baker in December of 2000. It gives
a detailed procedure that I found works well. You'll need a buddy to help.
Its almost impossible for one person to work with the sticky tape and do a nice
job. (for me anyway)

Guys,
Do (have) any of you flown off of a runway that sloped from one side to the
other?
What affect if any does it have on your flying technique?
There is a place at a friend's house that parallels a fence. It is about 50'
wide and apparently slopes from side to side away from the fence. The drop
off is 12" to 18".
With the narrow gear of a Firefly, would I even notice it?
Thanks,
Stuart

I land on the beach which I think has more slope than that (18" over 50') and I
don't seem to have any problem. I either land with a slight bank already on
or land on one wheel and let the other down easy depending on the wind.
Thanks,
Allan

David P/Kolbers:
I have a 1992 Kolb MKIII. Fuselage was built in January
1991. My plans call for jury struts.
Wasn't going to put jury struts on the MKIII. I didn't have
jury struts on my Ultrastar or Firestar. While working on
my MKIII at the Kolb Aircraft Factory, January 1991,Homer
Kolb asked me to install jury struts. His reasoning was if
I put them on mine, maybe others would install them on their
MKIII. He even donated streamlined 4130, although the plans
call for 6061 tubing. Interesting to note, none of the
factory MKIII's ever had jury struts installed.
1 July 2000, I broke the gear leg/axle socket off the left
side of my MKIII while shooting a landing in an extremely
rough gravel (rock) airstrip near Mucho Lake, BC. The left
wing dropped catching the left lift strut on top of the left
wheel, just about under the jury strut. No damage to the
lift strut. Had I not had the jury strut, the lift strut
would have failed by getting knocked out of column and in
compression.
I don't know of anyone else ever installing lift struts on
the MKIII or any other Kolb model. There may be some out
there, but I haven't run across them.
I'm including some photos of Miss P'fer, with jury struts,
for info only.

Subject: Kolb-List: Need Photo
<dpaule@frii.com>
I'm looking for one photo of a Kolb that I can use to
illustrate an article in Kitplanes. Ideally this will be of
a Firestar or one of the other Kolbs with a single strut per
wing. The photo should have lots of pixels and ideally will
show the whole airplane with the struts clearly obvious. A
front view with a non-distracting background would be
perfect.
The article will be about the structural analysis of column
buckling. Struts are nearly perfect examples of a column
that's designed to avoid buckling, and the Kolbs with no
jury struts are especially illustrative of the simple
idealized case. The article won't reference a Kolb except
for this photo and the photo's caption.
You'll get credit for the photo but no payment.
I've got a photo that I like of the FS II I used to own but
it doesn't have enough pixels (it has 1632 x 1232 pixels,
definitely need considerably more) and I no longer own that
airplane, so I can't take another photo.
Thanks!
David Paule
