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.

From: Herb 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 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 06:51:38 PM PST US Subject: Kolb-List: Re: Elevator backwords.... =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=F0=9F=98=A1?= do not archive From: "Frankd" 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.
