A very light thin walled piece of tubing solved the Firestar II weak frame issue.

Gerry,
Hands down..... the Kolb Firestar is probably the most fun aviation experience you will most likely ever have. [ But the little Kolb is a bit frail in places.] But nothing that can't be resolved if you are resourceful.
I flew nearly two hours today and shared a heavy thermal with a bunch of rising corn leaves and a couple migrating hawks within fifty feet of me . My little Firstar II moaned and groaned a bit but the seat back brace never bent a bit this time.
And Remember.......

This quick fix worked out well, with just a quick touch-up of black paint.
There are 3 basic types of spray paint formulas 1. Lacquer- Most spray paints are acrylic or nitro-cellulose based lacquer, such as Krylon. It dries fast and can be re-coated quickly and bonds to itself. Even some paints labeled enamel are actually lacquers. 2.Oil based -enamels and polyurethane. They dry much slower but generally more are more durable.3. Water based acrylic lacquers which are fairly new to the market. Water is used as a solvent instead of chemical solvents in regular lacquers.
