I have read on this list about the importance of "bracing" the tail on a Kolb if you are going to fly off-airport. Does anyone have a photo or drawing of how they did this that they could post?

Go to the Kolb List on Matronics and search for "horiz and stab and cables", without the quotes. Should bring you to a string where John Hauck had posted a number of pics for his MK III.
Had to modify the search procedure.... changed in the para above.

George, I’ve heard this discussed previously. 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.

Will try to attach a picture. This shows the aluminum side brace which was installed on both sides. I also added an extra bolt and pin to prevent the tail rod from twisting. Extra aluminum braces and gussets were added inside the triangular tail assembly but are now covered up.
