I was looking at another local pilot's Firestar II the other day, and saw
that his elevator linkage is a much nicer design than my UltraStar, as it
doesn't require any disconnection to fold it. Has anybody made or heard of
this kind of a modification to an UltraStar?

You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to
skydive twice.

I have rebuilt three UltraStars and had an original Firestar and did some
checking of this very sort. I am sorry to report that it would not be that
easy or practical. You need to change the entire vertical assembly and
ventrical fin where it comes into the boom at the back. You need to replace
just about everything back there. It is expensive and time consuming just
to "not" have to take one bolt and nut off. While I am at it, I flew with a
gentleman from Florida this last weekeand he has a Flyboy. It is
beautfiful. Kept up a good pace in the air and was very docile. Looked
very good next to my Slingshot. If you might be interest in it, go to:

He had a Kolb Mk II for a long time and he traded for this. He is looking
to buy a Pelican next which was a Kolb Factory plane for awhile. Ted Cowan,

I'm not in the market myself, but that's actually a VERY attractive
airplane! Kinda like a more sleek Kolb. Pity it's a nosedragger...
