As I write this, our blue model 5 kitfox is being taxied for takeoff by it's
new owner. He's headed home to south east Texas. My wife and I are very sad
to see it go as we have had many great adventures with it over the last 5
years and nearly 1000 hours.
But we are not leaving the kitfox family; we purchased Vic Jacko's model 5
with Lycoming 0-235 last September.
There he goes.....
His name is Terry and he'll be joining the list and introducing himself
after he gets home. Give him a warm welcome.

Has anyone a set of the wing braces for a 1200 kitfox
4? Or maybe a drawing to make my own. This relates to
when the wings are folded for towing.

Hey LeRoy,
They're simple to make. I made mine and a friend's
from EMT conduit (1/2" if I recall). Just flatten
the ends, bend a lip for the spar to rest on, and
drill to fit the spar pin -- then a bolt through the
front of the bottom lift strut fitting. I made'em
such that you lift the spar just a tad to take the
pressure off the front of the wing. They work well.
I wrapped yellow tape on mine so they're easily seen
before you start to unfold the wings.
Regards,
Ted

Thanks, Dave, you answered my question and confirmed my suspicion. Unlike you,
I have never been taught specific taildragger techniques. My instructor had
several hundred hours taildragger but has been flying tricycle most of those
last years. The rest of the stuff ... I learned it from this great list!
Cheers,
Michel

Yes, an important point. But I think my model 3 is a bit better there than you
model 2, isn't it?

Mine has a set that came with it but wouldn't part with them. Simple to
make. Use a piece of 3/8 inch water pipe and weld tabs on the lower end to
match the strut attach points and a piece of tubing similiar to the front
spar attach points on the other end. Bob U.

Builders,
Well, after 3 years of trying, my wife and I finally made it to Sun N Fun.
No, we didn't fly, but we were able to stay right there in the camp ground.
We were awakened each morning around 6:00 am to the sound of ultralights, warbirds,
and everything else that flys arriving overhead. What a wonderful alarm
clock. I was extremely impressed with how such a large event was so well organized.
Anyone who is even remotely interested in aviation owes it to themselves
to go there at least once. You will NEVER regret it. I'm trying to get
up with some one that I met there. He flew there in a red kitfox (model 4) that
had a custom made cowl and a VW engine. For all of you doubting Thomas' out
there, he said that after finding the right prop, he was very pleased with the
performance. If anybody out there know who this is, I would like to get up
with him. He had some very well thought out ideas and his workmanship was top
notch.
Bill

I can't get my kf to cool down. It stays at 185 degrees . Does everyone run a
thermostat and where is the best place to get one.

I know you probably won't try this...but I'll go ahead and offer it anyway.
Remove all the coolant. Replace it with water only. Now go fly it and note
your temps. They will be significanly lower. Now decide what is acceptable
temp and begin adding anti freeze to the water in increments until you've
reached the desired temp.
