Thanks Michel. I didn't know that because I didn't build my Kitfox. Now, I'll make a good note of it. I would also like to use the occasion to express my deepest sympathy to the Spanish people in regards with the terrible act of terrorism of yesterday. As you know, I love your country, I've spend 5 years there, our son was born in Benidorm, my father is buried in Alfaz de Pi and I have a brother living in Alicante.

    Subject: Re: USA Registered aircraft
    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Jeff Thomas" <jeffthomas@ntlworld.com> Torgeir, Scott and Sid Thanks for the info it was very helpful. A guy has suddenly popped up on two aviation groups I am a member of making a number of outspoken/outlandish statements upsetting a lot of people and generally "winding up both groups ". This has greatly detracted from the normally very interesting and informative group activity. The guy says he did 1245 hr P.I.C. private flying last year in order to conduct his business. Without going into great detail on this forum he implied his aircraft were registered in the USA, which my recent checks are unable to confirm..... it appears the guy is a complete fake just out to make a little trouble.

    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: kurt schrader <smokey_bear_40220@yahoo.com> Yes, we should take a moment to take this seriously and share their concern. I have also been to Spain several times. Because of Spain's size, this is like 9-11 for them. In fact, I think it occured exactly 911 days after 9-11. Correct? No matter what your cause, there is no justification for attacking innocent people.

Thanks Michel. I didn't know that because I didn't build my Kitfox. Now, I'll make a good note of it. I would also like to use the occasion to express my deepest sympathy to the Spanish people in regards with the terrible act of terrorism of yesterday. As you know, I love your country, I've spend 5 years there, our son was born in Benidorm, my father is buried in Alfaz de Pi and I have a brother living in Alicante. Each time I hear Manuel de Falla's "Noches en los jardines de Espaa," I have tears in my eyes, as I think of Spain.

    Subject: Re: Metric aircraft bolts
    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Dave & Wendy Grosvenor" <dwg@iafrica.com> Thanks Michel and Patricia I think I should have given more info. Patricia, I'm in Durban and fly a Bushbaby. Bolts are grade 8, supplied with the kit. I've had some comments that these are not "aircraft bolts" and concern that they hold my wings to the struts and the struts to the fuselage. These particular bolts are 8mm. Someone suggested I try to find metric aircraft bolts in Europe and relace the ones I have. Michel, interesting to see that the experimental guys in Europe are using what we are using here. I don't think my wings will come off with the 8mm bolts holding them. One of the Bushbaby guys tested his Bushbaby to 4.8G in flight. If a metric equivalent of an AN bolt was freely available, I would replace these to keep the critics happy. Michel, havn't started the model yet, been too busy!

Usually, one of the experimental aircraft bolt qualities used are steel grade 8. I dont know what you need, but if you want, I can try to help you, as I live close to an industrial area. How is the model plane doing???

    Subject: Re: Radial Series 5
    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: kurt schrader <smokey_bear_40220@yahoo.com> Very interesting Les, I have been following the Rotec for over a year now and had saved the site on my computer. This engine should get some use on other style aircraft too. Scaled down WW-II fighters for example. The writer didn't seem to like SS much, at least for models 1-3. Seems you are a UK leader in homebuilts though! :-) Kurt S. --- Les James <wharf.farm@ukonline.co.uk> wrote: > --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Les James" > <wharf.farm@ukonline.co.uk> > > If anyone is interested in the details/flight test > and writeup with pictures of my Rotec radial engined > Series 5 have a look at www.rotecradialengines.com > See PFA article. > > Les James > G-LESZ __________________________________
