 |
|
Hello Kolb group - my name is Rob Cannon. I am rebuilding a Twinstar mark 2 , including installing the HKS engine on it. My plane has flaperons, which I dont believe are original, and am cosidering removing. I am looking for build plans for the twinstar, or a photo of the original aileron bell crank bit that attaches to the root tube. If anyone has any comments on flaperons on a Kolb, I'd love to hear them. If anyone has I any questions about the HKS install, I'd be happy to answer them. cheers, Rob Cannon Salt Spring Island BC Canada

I'm just curious.... Why do you want to change it to regular ailerons...
Have you flown it with the Flaperons ?
I wish I had flaps...or something to drop me in quicker...
...I was talking to Ralph , He just bought a Kolbra...
I thought it had flaps....Nope...it has Flaperons
He said they work good...

Gotta Fly...

( ask Ralph - he won't land there )

I am considering removing the flaperon system for two reasons. After installing the hks, custom fuel tanks, electric fuel pumps, etc. the twinstar has gained a few pounds. I am using 750 lbs. as the gross and it is up to 460 empty. hmmmmmmmmmm. As the present flaperon system is poorly built, and I am looking for ways to shed weight. Rob
