I think what Dany is trying to say is, can I convert the aircraft from tricycle gear to tailwheel (like the one in the photo).
"When will purchase the aircraft I will send you pictures.
However, I can turn it like this?"

Daniele, There's certainly a lot of Mk III in the airplane, but there have been so many changes made that it is a new airplane now. Good luck.

Here are some pictures of the kolb in question. I do not buy more, because there are too many changes that I do not like. I wanted to ask you to buy a new kit as I do? I tried to send an email here.

Daniele, I think you made the right decision. There are just too many changes to that aircraft and you might find that you could never get it back to a factory original condition.If you get a kit, keep it stock just as the plans direct. Add nothing that you are not willing to give up performance for. The closer you come to 493 lb. the better your Kolb will fly.
One final suggestion. Do not use a two stroke engine. Nothing will sour you on flying like consuming 20 liters of fuel per hour.
Good luck.

I found this wonderful kolb firestar in the year 1988 with 180 hours total. After 25 years you have to do some special maintenance? Fabric of the wings seems to be in good condition, although the structure and in excellent condition.

It appears to be an original Firestar, with the 5 main rib wings. I have one like it, but mine is about a 1985. What engine does it have? You should probably do a punch test on the fabric to see if it has been affected by aging.

Morning Folks:
Thought I was add this as info only from personal experience.
Not to nit-pick, but Polyester Dacron is not affected by age, as much as it is by ultraviolet light and sharp objects. Of course, an occasional washer or bolt will also do a number on it.
If the aircraft was hangered and has a good UV block, it should be good to go as far as strength is concerned.
The first airplane I built, the US, was stored outside in a cow pasture for one year and six months. I was more concerned with flying than building a hanger, so the hanger never got built. When I built the FS, I made myself finish the hanger before I flew the FS. Only way to get the job done back then. I had the US fabric tested by the Director of the Home Economics Department, Florida State University, only because her husband was our friend and also an aircraft home builder/flyer. She had the machine to pull test the fabric. I still have the samples and the results stuffed in a hole around hauck's holler somewhere. The test was done around 1986. Fabric samples on top of the wing tested at the same level as sample from the bottom of the wing. Fabric that had been processed through Aerothane finish paint, but never used on the Ultrastar and kept inside the shop were also tested at a little above the used fabric. We also tested new bare fabric which came out not quite as strong as the processed fabric. All came out well above specs. On the Ultrastar, I used Polytone with the UV block added to the paint, with a clear coat of Aerothane which also had a UV block.
On my Firestar and MKIII I used Polyspray for the UV coat. The MKIII was covered in 1991, and is pushing 22 years of service. The fabric is still serviceable, although some of the paint is weathering, especially on the tail section.
Waiting for the weather to warm up today. Plan to fly back to the BBQ place for lunch. It was closed yesterday. My friend James Tripp will be flying his MKIII also.

" Of course, an occasional washer or bolt will also do a number on it."
Hi Folks:
Hell getting old and slow.
The above should have read, "Of course, an occasional washer or bolt going through the prop will also do a number on it."
Sorry about that.
