Then it starts cracking and breaking off. When this happened to me, I replaced the gap seal tape with dacron sail repair tape. Now I have the best of both methods! The sail repair tape comes in a 2-inch wide roll, just like the clear 3M book tape. Comes in various colors. I used white. And it's very sticky. You install it exactly as you would the clear tape, with the same sticky-side-to-sticky-side overlap of a half-inch. But now you have the benefit of a dacron fabric gap seal, which is stronger and should last a bunch longer than the clear tape. Looks good, too.

So i fixed the cone and ton of minor issues with the plane with a TON help of a friend on this forum over the past few months. Last night we got all the minor things fixed and I took it back out and NOSED OVER AGAIN while going relatively slow on the ground. Thats when we noticed that whoever built the firefly RIGGED THE ELEVATOR BACKWORDS. I am now trying to figure out if need to switch the cables on the stick or were they connect to the elevator. The seller did not have manual or anything with the plane, can I simply just switch the cables on the stick? -------- 98' Kolb FireFly Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=447196#447196 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 01:47:25 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: video From: "crankpot" Very nice! what camera are you using to produce the data in the corner?

First, I'd learn how to preflight an aircraft. Did you check the controls before you climbed into that little rascal? Get a construction manual, learn how the cables should be routed, and correct the problem. Man...that is dangerous. Now I have to tell on myself. I climbed into the factory MKIII at Sun and Fun one year some time ago, strapped in, started the engine, started to taxi and discovered the rudder cables had not been crossed. The individual that rigged the rudder cables did not know that the cables should be crossed to be correctly rigged. I didn't check before I climbed in. I took something for granted. john h mkIII Rock House, Oregon -----Original Message----- From: owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kolb-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Keith84 Sent: Friday, September 18, 2015 12:40 PM Subject: Kolb-List: Elevator backwords.... do not archive I bought a firefly a few months ago and promptly buried the nose in dirt while taxing.
