Here it is. On my 912 muffler setup, one piece of braded bike cable easily secures two springs. You can see the swaged ferrule that secures the cable ends just above the carburetor dome.

Kolbers, Ever year we have several members finish their projects, or buy a Kolb and joint our group. I think it would be a good thing if those of you with Kolb flying experience could create a Kolb Flying Tips document of some sort. I hope to joint the group of completed projects this summer, and I know the best think to do is to get more time in a Champ, but I know, that flying my Kolb will be different than flying the Champ. So how about a dos and dont of fly the Kolb. I know that there will be differences in every Kolb built and each model, but what are the average V speeds for each model? I would think that one of the company owner would have printed some of the information, but if they have I have never heard a reference to it. What do you think? Thanks as always, I would have never gotten this far without the support and knowledge of this group!

Great idea on the piloting tips, so long as you can protect the authors of those tips from liability or blame when the s**t hits the fan. On a similar note, as a new Kolb builder but an experienced "airplane guy", I believe there is also a strong need for an improved assembly manual. I have written assembly and construction manuals professionally, and I have sent the factory an e-mail that mentioned this and offered my services. I would be very glad to participate in the assembly manual rewrite if the factory is interested. But it is their decision, and they may not agree that there is a need for a better manual..
