I used the "green slime" sealer between the tire and rim and have had no problems
yet. (Have about 100 landings on pavement).

I have a slightly heavy right wing. Probably engine torque but who knows. I want
to try aileron trim and wonder if it would be best to put the trim tab up
on the right aileron or down on the left aileron; or does it really matter.
Any thoughts appreciated.

Subject: | Re: Aileron trim |
Rex, I started off thinking it to be six of one, half a dozen of another as
far as a trim tab. Then I got to thinking about it some more. If you
deflect an aileron down with a tab, you create lift to raise the wing but
also drag to pull it backward (the origins of adverse yaw) so you'll have
to add a little rudder to center the ball or yaw string. If you deflect the
opposite side up you lose a little lift and a little drag which should
level the wings and create less yaw. Or so it appears to me.
Do you have any idea what is causing it. Doubtful it is caused by torque,
at least no Kolb I've ever flown has had the tendency. Is it a new problem?
Anything changed that might have caused it?
I'm sorry I don't remember what you fly. With a Mark III you can use the
flaps to trim out an imbalance.\
Good luck and Happy New Year

Well I have been selling my tires and wheels that are tubeless for over 7 years,
I have never had any returns or complaints and Brian Melbourne has them on
his Firestar he told me that since he put tires and wheels that I sell on his
Kolb he can Land just about anywhere. Tires and wheels that will fit a black max,
Tracy O'Brien, Hegar Brakes systems and more.

Subject: | Re: Aileron trim |
If I were you, I would put something like this trim tab on the left wing aileron,
with the tab down, to push the aileron up, hopefully to get the wings to trim
out evenly and level up.
If the wings then level up, but the ball is not in the center, then you would have
to adjust it out with a trim tab on the rudder.
For planning purposes: attach your trim tabs in the most unobtrusive way possible,
so that if you end up having to rearrange things, you have not painted yourself
into a corner.

Somebody on the list sent me a PM wanting to know approximate cost and what would
they have to do to install these on a Mark III. There's different options for
example of whether or not you want hand control stick master cylinder, or do
you want differential Heel and Toe Brakes. Also single or dual puck calipers...
Sometimes you can use master cylinders from other companies.
Here is a picture of a set up that I sold last month and the customer already had
his master cylinders.. Several months ago a Canadian gentleman put some dual
puck brakes on a Kitfox and he says it will stop on a dime. He used his own
master cylinders
