There were some here talking about new tailwheels for all models of Kolb aircraft. I ordered and received my new breakaway tailwheel assembly from Kolb and thought I would share a few pictures of it prior to installation on my Firestar MK1.
Have a great day!

Yes it is John. It's kinda pricey at $130.00 plus I had to order the aluminum tail rod (at) $33.00. But, my Firestar still has the old fiberglass rod. I not willing to trust it. I had a fail of one on my Twinstar MK2 and that was a lesson learned.
Have a great day!

I found the fiberglass tail wheel strut was extremely flexible, overly so.
The aluminum rod will do a much better job.

The new wheel is about the same as the old cookie cutter wheel at basically 6". But the new wheel is 1 1/8 inches wide. It comes with sealed bearing and new cable tension springs.
Brian as at Kolb is interested in some feed back. It looks really great. I'll let you know what I think down the road.

It appears to be similar to the breakaway that I bought for about $230 from I believe, Kolb several years ago. They did not build that one. Spruce carried them as well. If it works, it is a bargain and should be on every Kolb. Makes life a lot easier.Larry

Feedback:
My primary experience is with heavier homebuilts, so this might not be a concern with the lower landing speeds of Kolbs. But in heavier a/c, the springs are in compression instead of tension, and look more like the attached image (pulled from a search for 'storm door spring').
Reason for using this style is that if the spring itself breaks, the Kolb-supplied spring will release the tailwheel & you'll lose steering. With the storm door spring, the 'omega' shaped brackets looped through the spring capture the broken spring and the cable just has an extra inch of so of extra slack. They also limit spring travel. The Kolb-supplied spring has no limit, and will continue to expand if the pivot is sticky enough.
FWIW,
Charlie
