Kolbers, and FireFlyers,



I really wanted to get away from the tension spring and to use a clevis 

spring.  I could not find small light weight clevis springs.  After several 

iterations, I have a new system that uses compression springs in a way that 

is equivalent to clevis springs.  The new system can be seen at:

I believe the FireFly responds better to rudder pedal input than before, 

especially in grass.  Shaved off 1.5 ounces.  While I was at it I bushed the 

holes through which the hinge pin bolt passes.  



I hope you have a good 7/7/07.
