Michael Adams- Thank you from a couple of recent Kolb Firestar buyers. We have not flown ours yet, and the videos are a great confidence builder.

Will,
That third video shows an awfully long runway. I'd think you might run out of fuel before reaching the end. Hehehe.

I wouldn't call those tubes structural, per the builder's manual they are installed to keep the wing bow from bending when shrinking the fabric. Dave Rains old FireStar II had the same problem and flew it like that for a long time until the lose tube started chaffing the fabric. It wasn't until after he accidentally started the engine at full throttle inside the hanger and ran the wing tip into the hanger wall was when we fixed them.

Subject: Re: Kolb-List: Structural Failure
Fire Flyers,
When pulling my engine through to get fuel to the carb , I noticed a metallic rattle I had not heard before. It was inside the wing. I isolated it to the trailing edge and outboard edge of the left wing as viewed from the seat. Further examination indicated the problem area was near the end of the wing spar. I removed the wing and brought it home. Reluctantly I cut through the fabric, To reveal the 5/16 " X. 035 alum tube running from the outboard trailing edge to the inside of the outboard end of the main wing spar had severed completely . This tube was possibly flattened too much by the factory as it broke where it was flattened. This was a quick build kit. This firefly has never had the wings to hit the ground or anything else. It has never been slightly wrecked. Apparently taxiing on those little four inch wheels, over stressed that 5/16" tube. Anyone heard of this happening to a Firefly?
