Hi All,
I was checking out Kolb Aircrafts Website yesterday. I saw there's an air
worthiness directive especially for the Firestar for the bolts that the
Overhead Aileron Control System rides on along the root tube. It says these
2 bolts could break if stressed. They now make a gusset to hold the
threaded end of the bolt from the root tube. Has anyone done this
modification ?

I learned of this AD last year and installed the brackets. It's a fairly easy job.
I had to adjust the location of my BRS parachute a little because the new
brackets interfered with the clamps that held the parachute onto the root tube,
but the parachute still fit in the same general position in front of the engine.
