My flying buddies and I will be up at 15.35GMT on the 17th. We
plan to fly over Brooklands aerodrome, birthplace of British
aviation.
We will follow up with a BIG fancy dress party. (Aviation theme

why is it that the kitfox new system repeats the sender name and address

Fully supporting Charlie! Some list readers I know are forwarding the first lines
to low bandwidth devices, e.g. GSM-SMS or pagers,
and this line just takes away a good part of the available text length.
If - and only if - this line is really required - good e-mail clients shows the
original sender as "on behalf of" in the header
info. Convinced it might be added to the footer instead. Matt can change this easily.
It has been seen on AeroElectric-List hosted
by Matt for some days, too.
Some mailers tend to add (here an example from AeroElectrics-List):

If this aircraft had its airworthiness inspection done already then it would
have limitations that were given at the time of the inspection. Review
those limitations and it may advise on what needs to be done. For
example... if I was to change my engine or prop I need to send a letter to
the local FSDO advising of the change and the requested fly-off area.
Typically it requires a 5 hour fly-off. All log book entries would need to
be made.

Subject: Installation of a Jabiru engine in a Kitfox
Hi List
I am an AP-IA, I amcurrently working on a kitfox III with US registration.I
have a couple of problems that I hope some of you can help me with. A
customer asked me to certify the installtion of a Jabiru engine and mount
(normaly a Rotax is installed) Both were already installed before I was
asked to look at the aircraft,It was done very well and with the
installation I have no problems. The question is what do I do know? I do not
work on experimental aircraft very often, this is a major alteration,so do
I need to write up an FAA form 337 or do I even need to inform the FAA of
the engine change? (I want to stay leagl) or is a DAR required for this
installation?
Also can anyone anser the question of who can legaly preform the annual
insp of an exprimental acft?
Thank you Dave

Charlie, I have noticed the same thing, and it seems superfluous to me. As
the list admins, Darrel and I can do nothing about it.
If you have format suggestions, you can always send your comments to Matt
Dralle who has customized this system. He can be reached at

If enough people make the same suggestions, I am sure he will act on it.

After you slice the edge and wrap them around the struts, how do you
re-fasten the edge?
I thought of slicing the streamlined tubing about a half inch ahead of the
trailing edge, then gluing in a piece of wood or aluminum on the inside to
fasten it back together after wrapping it around the strut. Would be tricky.
Anybody come up with a better method? I'm open to suggestions! :

The failure of an electrically-driven prop pitch mechanism would not
prevent you from staying in the air, it just turns it into a
fixed-pitch prop. The pitch the prop goes to (or remains at) will
vary by the hub design and may not be optimal for climb or cruise,
but there's no reason you couldn't comfortably complete the flight
and effect repairs.

OK, here is an idea I did....
Got some Blue foam used in insulation. Made the board the thickness of the
lift strut and about 3 inches wide. With a router, made a 1/2 circle to fit
lift strut. (I made it a bit smaller and finished sanded with sand paper on a
dowel) Then simply block sanded to an airfoil shape. Note, trailing edge
only.
The entire process took maybe 6 hours for all struts, including tail....
For the first test flight, I simply duct taped on and could not believe the
differance! In fact, I blew the landing the plane was so much cleaner.
I have gained 7 mph easy. Now my KF 2, with a new prop, IVO on my 582 BH,
indicates 80 mph at 5,600, 85 at 5,800.
This winter they will be removed, glassed and painted.
Well worth the effort.
Dave

Since the tape worked, I wonder if wraping them with Stits covering and
shrinking them on would work. You could put the glue on the tubing so it
wouldn't eat the foam,,,,,, or will it eat foam.?? Mine had the plastic
farings wrapped in stits, but had to remove them to upgrade the struts ....
and by the way found corrosion. so be sure to drain. Bob U.

He, he! I also use Netscape 4.5, guys. Upgrade? Can you teach new tricks to an
old ape? What's more, I am not on a PC but a Mac. It makes a nice piece of
conversation but ... more and more Java-oriented web site are not working for
me. :-(
Maybe I should upgrade but right now I am more interested to find wheel
penetration skis for my bird, than shopping for new computer software.
Cheers,

Since the tape worked, I wonder if wraping them with Stits covering and
shrinking them on would work. You could put the glue on the tubing so it
wouldn't eat the foam,,,,,, or will it eat foam.?? Mine had the plastic
farings wrapped in stits, but had to remove them to upgrade the struts ....
and by the way found corrosion. so be sure to drain. Bob U.

| Subject: | SoCal pilots: Want to go flying on Wed. Dec. 17? |
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Steve M" <ondeck355@hotmail.com>
Want to go flying Wed, Dec. 17, for the 100th anniversary of the Wright
brothers first manned powered flight? Kitfoxes, ultralights, experimentals,
GA planes, all welcome.
I'm taking the day off just for the occasion. Propose lifting off from
Nichols field (Otay) near Otay Lake in San Diego, at 10:35 AM Pacific time
and going... someplace. Perhaps overfly the fire-ravaged Ultralight Park at
Barona. And Fla-bob airport in Riverside county has an open house that day,
though that would be a long flight for a Part-103 UL. Hmmm, are ULs allowed
at Fla-bob?
Alternative plan would be to head west from Otay, skirt around Brown Field's
Class-D airspace, and fly up and down the coast briefly, then return to
Otay.
Yet another alternative might be to rendezvous at either Perris or
Hemet/Ryan airports, both of which house ultralights and GA aircraft alike,
and then take off from there. Hell, any excuse to go flying is OK in my
book.
Any takers?

Hi John,
Very good information about your project, -and most interesting.
About your experience with PowerFin, just come to think about Lowell's
posting a few days ago, about our round "Kitfox" cowl using a "turbine"
propeller. Excuse me for the expression, but the Powerfin is a "kind" of
lookalike and is very efficient.
I'll think that this new Hydraulic hub with a Warp prop., is a winner
combination and will be hard to match for PowerFin (at least when used
on a Kitfox), but the time will show.
Thanks
Torgeir.

Yes Michel, this was the last weeks storm, named Clara, but tomorrow
Edda will show up.

Are these storms a regular seasonal occurrence? If so, when does the season start
& end?
My concern is because we will be on a cruise ship next May, stopping in Oslo &
Copenhagen. I'd hope to miss any such weather.

Would anybody have a smooth streemline cowl off a Mod 5, 6 or 7 that might be damaged
or otherwise available cheap to use as a plug to make my own cowl for a
Mod IV.

Torgeir,
There was another benefit of the PropLink hubs (all hub modes) that I
failed to mention before. Before I installed the PropLink hub I
initially installed the PowerFin ground adjustable propeller. Due to
the width of the blades near the root end, the blades only cleared the
Series 6 cowling by 1/4 of an inch when adjusted for the optimum pitch
position. I am sure that that affects the efficiency if the blades.
After installing the PropLink hub the same blades cleared the cowling by
1 1/2 inches.
I am very anxious to see the new PowerFin blade design when it comes out
next summer. One of the reasons for the delay is that they just
invested a lot of money in a state-of-the-art machine that weaves the
composite fibers to their desires. They will now be able to do
everything in house. The business is owned by a Father-Son team.

Hello John,
I plan on taking off at my air strip at 9:35 CST. There should be thousand's
of airplanes in the sky at that time. Orville and Wilbur looking

Hi John,
Many of the members of the Oregon Antique & Classic Airplane Club plan a group
flight out pf the Cottage Grove/Creswell area at that time. I'll try to join
in, weather permitting.

Will a Mod. 5/6/7 cowl fit a Mod. IV?
If so is it any longer?
Appreciate any info on this.
