They go from the bolt that holds the tail wheel rod in the lower vertical stabilizer to the ring on the tail boom ring. Mine are 3/16 by 3/4 aluminum.... I've seen others out of round stock. You will have to drill out one rivet on the tail boom ring to 3/16 or 1/4, your choice On Aug 5, 2016 3:50 PM, "Bill Berle" wrote: > > I have read on this list about the importance of "bracing" the tail on a > Kolb if you are going to fly off-airport.

Sorry the tablet did not focused through the plexiglass well. This was on a different route than I used before, I was thinking Thai I should be getting close, and just about missed it because I was not looking for rocks on this scale.. I got home yesterday and had to dodge , by either going around, over, or under, the clouds of smoke from several wild fires in Idaho and Utah.

I think John Hauck has the real skinnay on this. I think it involves putting two steel tubing (4130?) braces on the steel ring at the end of the fuse tube, attached to the tailwheel support. Hpe t8is helps.
