Hello Gang,
Intended to make the Kolb flyin but had a couple of teeth pulled and they want me back Frid the 22nd, I tried to get them to change the date but no luck, they are trying to get my dental work done before I leave for Florida the last of Oct. Darn it.. Have a question that I was going to ask at the flyin, so here it is. On our Firestar ll when I pull the stick back it moves the left stabilizer some on the bolts that fastens it to the boom, the right stabilizer moves some , but not as much, when the stick is moved back just the opposite happens. Is this normal? It flys ok and I do not consider it a danger. I suspicion that it may have to move because of the folding design.
By the way I am doing a lot of flying in the firestar and really enjoying it….and I must admit I am improving, but do not intend to bragg. Thanks to all in advance for your input. Have some more questions that I will post when you guys get back from the fly in. thanks again for your input.

Jim S:
Sorry you are not going to be able to make the Kolb Homecoming.
Your elevator situation is normal, when the piano hinge pins are not
centered exactly on the elevator control mechanism on each side of the
tail boom. Will not hurt anything, but make sure the forward tang is
not being pushed or pulled into the bracket and placing a bending
moment on it.
I have one side that does not move, and the other side moves about an
1/8". Hasn't hurt the running none.............
