I know of an RAF Commander who was in charge of a field where aircraft
passed through on their way back to the UK at the end of the war. He prided
himself that he flew every different type passing through. He once took out
a Mosquito and belted off down the runway unaware that the mechanics had
started work on her and taken out the elevator cables. Luckily it was a
flying field in the desert and he just disappeared in a cloud of dust into
the desert until the u/c sank into the sand. Pat

Thought I would send some pics , showing access to the fuel tank...also
one of the storage box just to the rear....naturally..one must be
careful adding too much wt to this compartment...Tie downs, oil and
maybe an empty fuel tank? The storage compartment needs a cover to
keep things contained in rough weather...Herb

Hi Keith84,
sorry to hear that you nosed over again, but mighty glad you did..
I must share with you that I have destroyed two nice RC models with reversed controls.
The flights were quite short, both models had reversed ailerons and the
plane climbed out but as soon as it started to turn I did input the correction
only to have it roll into the ground.
This taught me an expensive lesson (twice) that I apply to flying kolbs..My biggest
model yet..
The good thing about RC models is that you are not in them.Double check everything..
If you just reverse the cables you must check that they don't rub or bind, you
should get the manual like John said and follow that.
The worst story I heard was the KOLB pilot that forgot to put the bolts connecting
the struts to the wing, just the rivets held it together for about 20 mins
of flight and then the plane crashed.
I would also recommend you contact a local EAA chapter and have someone else look
over your plane. I did for mine and he found a few things that helped me
a lot.
Be safe , live long and enjoy your kolb.
