I didn't see your post, so I would guess that it didn't arrive where it was supposed to go. I folded my Firestar for at least 10 years and stored it in a trailer that I built. Quite frankly other than self inflicted wounds by yourself there is no reason that folding would ever cause any damage. Of course the more people you have helping you will up the odds quite a bit. If you are in the building process make sure that it slips into the tube that holds it to the boom tube easily the first time every time. I flared the end of the tube that the male part slips into. I also drilled the hole that you slip the pin into to hold it so that it faced the back of the plane. I secured the pins to a three foot dowel rod so that I could pin it without laying down and crawling under the wing. Larry On Sun, Dec 3, 2017 at 5:03 PM, Robert Lobdell wrote : > > I=99=99m. New.

I don=99t expect to make any purchases for at least a year. I f igure I need about 20k to allow for any purchases and extras, like trailers. I would have to have someone build a trailer for me. But, from what I hav e seen there are plenty of examples of great trailers. I would really like t o first figure out how this website works, for posting etc. and then find s omeone nearby to see their plane and gets some up close exposure to the KOLB . I live in Waskom, TX and work in Shreveport, LA. I currently fly out of D owntown Airport KDTN a group of EAA members have a club plane an Aeronca Chi ef. Which we (7) pilots fly the plane. So, If there was a place not to far I could fly over and check things out. Thanks Again for your help Larry Robert Lobdell Flying is the second greatest thrill known to man.
