    Subject: Re: Sport Pilot rating
    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Matt Keyes <keyesmp@yahoo.com> Steve, Glad to hear that experienced pilots and ultralight instructors like yourself are gearing up to meet the needs of the up coming rule change. I expect that a lot of ultralight pilots such as myself will take advantage of the possible grandfather clause, not to mention all the new comers that Sport Pilot will attract. Glad to see another USUA pilot on the list as well. I "talked" with you last fall about Avid. Still don't have a plane, but I am looking closely at Fisher now and hope to find a CFI with a Cub or Champ to train with this summer for my Sport/Private tickets. Just came back from my home state's Ultralight and Light Plane Safety Seminar. Very usefull information. I would recommend everyone check to see if their state has a similar event and attend. Presentations included a discussion on Rotax two stroke engine maintainance from the guys at Leading Edge, the Wisconsin based Rotax service center.

    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Fox5flyer" <morid@northland.lib.mi.us> If the lack of ribbing is what bothers some, there's a simple fix. Just clean the fitting up with sand paper, flux it, wrap a piece of 14 guage wire around the open end and solder it on with normal copper pipe soldering technique. Works very well and the hose will never slip off once clamped on.

    Subject: Bob Harris' Radiator fittings
    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Scott McClintock <scott_mcclintock@dot.state.ak.us> Bob, If the elbows you ordered aren't up to the task, go to your local pump & irrigation supply. They will have a good selection of plastic & non-plastic fittings which are ribbed and heavy duty. I keep a selection handy for my little gold mining wash plant. Scott in Nome P.S. Michel, one of your countrymen is leading the Iditarod this morning. You Norwegians are a tough bunch!

Sid, you're so right- long time since flying. Every "free" time, it's just keep snowing or raining, right now it's raining. But be sure, the first day with usable condition I'll go flying.

    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Torgeir Mortensen <torgemor@online.no> Hi Don, Maybe this difference is not that "important" anymore(?), as they deliver the new "Blue Head" with a thermostat- I'm not sure if this is true or not. Great idea using the EIS CHT part. for such a test, very interesting. Think you'll only need one of them at the outlet as the input is the engine water temp., but maybe you're right that two of them at the rad. port's will give a more realistic temperature difference. Could be interesting to know result if you make this test. Cheers Torgeir.

    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Dcecil3@aol.com Marc the door frame was hitting the front post and had about 1 1/2" in the back .I took out the Lexan and bent it and that helped a little but i twisted it to get it to fit the frame where it was'ent making contact in the back VERY BAD MOVE, now I'll have to fix that.Thank God I've learned the skills to fix things like this!!!!!!! This thing could really start costing big bucks. Best David Cecil KF#950

    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Dcecil3@aol.com Thanks Ron for the Invite.You would'nt recognize the Place , most Homes are in the $500,000 to $1,000,000 range and there are alot of them.The small country hamlet that was just a crossroads is now a town called Westlake .One piece of good news is that theres talk of a 4,500Ft. Paved runway, doing a Impact study on it now .But Franklin Co. has a reputation of not being Airport friendly . Best David

I expect that a lot of ultralight pilots such as myself will take advantage of the possible grandfather clause, not to mention all the new comers that Sport Pilot will attract. Glad to see another USUA pilot on the list as well. I "talked" with you last fall about Avid. Still don't have a plane, but I am looking closely at Fisher now and hope to find a CFI with a Cub or Champ to train with this summer for my Sport/Private tickets. Just came back from my home state's Ultralight and Light Plane Safety Seminar. Very usefull information. I would recommend everyone check to see if their state has a similar event and attend. Presentations included a discussion on Rotax two stroke engine maintainance from the guys at Leading Edge, the Wisconsin based Rotax service center. > > Do Not Archive > > Matt > > > --------------------------------- > >

    Subject: I have the Cowling bluess!!
    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Dave Savener" <dsavener@austin.rr.com> I have a 532(just about worn out) in a model II with the old style motor mount. The front cowling is attached to a rod that extends forward from the motor mount. I have a blue head 582 to replace it. I have obtained the newer style motor mount that attaches to the side of the motor. It doesn't have the cowling attach rod out in front. The front cowlings attach to the rear cowlings on the newer versions of the Model II with the new mount. Has anyone had experience making the old cowls fit with the new motor mount? Or do I have to find/buy new cowlings. If the past is any indication, with my fiberglass skills, making new ones is out of the question. It would take me years and they would be so heavy I'd have to add a nose wheel!!!

    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: kurt schrader <smokey_bear_40220@yahoo.com> Oh how embarrasing. Sorry. I suppose that it is because my father liked green so much. Corroded copper being such a pretty color? I should have added that my plastic connectors were even ribbed. But they so easily collapsed that I never got to use them for long. I think I put aluminum in their place keeping with the flow, so to speak. Kurt S. Do not archive. --- jimshumaker <jimshumaker@sbcglobal.net> wrote: > > I hope you mean brass elbows Kurt.
