Thanks to everyone for the kind words! Over and over during those
long years of building, folks with finished planes would tell me how
much fun I would have when it was finished. In the back of my head
all I could think was, "After all this, it had better be fun."
Well, in the short time I've been flying it I can honestly say it is
more fun than I ever imagined! I've been having a hard time
concentrating at work for thinking about when I can jump in the left
seat again :-)
Paul Seehafer sez:
>Now tell us more about some of those mods you did. I'm curious how you
>increased the baggage area and widened the cabin?
These are both innovations that Murle Williams pioneered. The
fuselage has steel plates welded to the bars that surround the door
frame, starting at the lower front and tapering out to full width
(2.25") at the lower rear, continuing that way up to the aft corner
(behind the shoulder area), then tapering back down to the tube level
at the top rear corner of the door. This plate is curled on the
outboard ends to allow for good fabric attachment. An added bonus is
that fewer tapes are needed on the sides of the fuselage because the
plates raise the fabric away from some tubes it would ordinarily
touch. The doors had to be bent some to fit the different shape of
the resulting door frame:
<http://www.sportflight.com/uploads/Wide-Body.jpg>.
The baggage area starts at the rear of the seat and extends back as
far as the rear edge of the turtle deck and is formed of aluminum
angle attached to the tubes just above the flaperon mixer. The angle
forms a rectangle that frames the bottom of the baggage area. It has
a plastic floor that is reinforced with 3 additional angle braces
underneath. The sides and back are covered with the same fabric that
the plane is covered with while the front wall (against the back of
the seat) is a plastic panel. All the sides and the bottom are
covered with some lightweight upholstery fabric for looks:
<http://www.sportflight.com/uploads/Baggage-Area.jpg>.
>...an IVO constant speed prop? Do you like it?
Actually, I haven't been able to try it. As John McBean mentioned,
this is an electronic controller for the Ivo prop that monitors
engine speed and, based on a rotary knob that I mounted on the center
console, tries to maintain a set RPM. It requires some adjustments
that must be performed in flight (min and max controlling RPM, speed
window, etc.) and I can't do that and fly the plane at the same time.
It may be after the first 40 hours before I can really try it out.
>And what about those aerodynamic improvements you did? Can you
>supply pictures? Any Kitfox that can VNE straight and level with a
>912 is worth hearing more about!
I'm sure I'm not remembering everything, but here's what comes to
mind (not all of these are custom mods, some are SkyStar options).
It has fairings behind the gas caps that Murle makes; custom
streamlined tail struts; oversized, hand-shaped wooden lift strut
fairings (a 3 week effort!); a Safari-style cowling; a tube welded
down the center from the tube at the rear of the turtle deck to the
base of the vertical tail that changes the shape of the top of the
empennage; one piece, all lexan doors that close flush with the
cowling; Speedster wings; all internal antennas (except the
transponder); airfoil-shaped tail surfaces; and a one-piece, all
lexan turtle deck.
Overall, I think the airframe is tight and clean as 'foxes go, but
the other half of the equation is that 912 ULS powerplant. With the
adjustable pitch Ivo prop on it, if I run the engine up to full power
it will drag me across the ramp with my feet stomped on the brakes!
I'd love to hook a scale up to the tail and try to measure the static
thrust it produces, but I'm told that it's difficult to get good
results.
I hope this answers your questions, Paul.
Mike

Darrel thanks and I think you're right. We went about as far as we could
with
pushing forward from behind the screen without causing distortion and
pressure
and still have a small gap which is probably caused by just too tight a fit
over the top of the firewall. Or it disappear when the weather
warms up and we bolt it all togeher. Anyway I think we can seal the small
gap we have. Thanks.
Howard I'll be pleased to hear how you get on.

Are there some kitfoxers around the Missouri area that
would like to have a fly in? Thinking about having it
at my strip on Ski Harbor on lake Pomme de Terre. If
anyone is interested please respond to

"A Treatise on the Importance of Smoke" by Joseph Lucas
All electrical components and wiring harnesses depend on proper
circuit functioning, which is the transmission of charged ions by
retention of the visible spectral manifestation known as "smoke".
Smoke is the thing that makes electrical circuits work. Don't be
fooled by scientists and engineers talking about excited electrons
and the like. Smoke is the key to all things electrical.
We know this to be true because every time one lets the smoke out of
an electrical circuit, it stops working. This can be verified
repeatedly through empirical testing. For example, if one places a
large copper bar across the terminals of a battery, prodigious
quantities of smoke are liberated and the battery shortly ceases to
function. In addition, if one observes smoke escaping from an
electrical component such as a Lucas voltage regulator, it will also
be observed that the component no longer functions.
The logic is elementary and inescapable! The function of the wiring
harness is to conduct the smoke from one device to another. When the
wiring harness springs a leak and lets all the smoke out of the
system, nothing works right afterward.
Starter motors were considered unsuitable for British motorcycles for
some time largely because they regularly released large quantities of
smoke from the electrical system.
It has been reported that Lucas electrical components are possibly
more prone to electrical leakage than their Bosch, Japanese or
American counterparts. Experts point out that this is because Lucas
is British, and all things British leak. British engines leak oil,
British shock absorbers, hydraulic forks, and disk brake systems leak
fluid, British tires leak air and British Intelligence leaks national
defense secrets.
Therefore, it follows that British electrical systems must leak
smoke. Once again, the logic is clear and inescapable.
Sometimes you may miss the component releasing the smoke that makes
your electrical system function correctly, but if you sniff around
you can often find the faulty component by the undeniable and
telltale smoke smell. Sometimes this is a better indicator than
standard electrical tests performed with a volt-ohm meter.
In conclusion, the basic concept of transmission of electrical energy
in the form of smoke provides a clear and logical explanation of the
mysteries of electrical components and why they fail.
"A gentleman does not motor about after dark."
- Joeseph Lucas, 1842 - 1903
I learned a long time ago that once you let the "Factory Smoke" out of any
electrical device, it is next to impossible to replenish it.

Hey Norm,
Depends on the t-storms this week. If all goes well
I'll be over there Fri with N962TC. Probably have to
leave on Sat morn to get back. I haven't spoken to
the other guys but if the weather is nice I'd expect
there to be two or three from over here 'round
Houston.

Hi Foxers...I have a terra 720 Tranceiver that needs service...any ideas?
Trimbel no longer repairs the 720...
I had mine repaired a couple of years ago by Gulf Coast Avionics when parts
were still available, didn't last a year. Money poorly spent. Time to think
upgrade.

I'm replacing my fuel vent lines and sight gauge. I looked in the catalog and
they have PVC, Tygon and Polyurethane. Which is the best?
I just replaced my sight gauges with Polyurethane. Seems to be OK, easy to
work with. Can't say any more as I made the change just a couple of months
ago, jury is still out.

Hi Gill,
Those are great looking plans too. If a person was
rich and famous, he could put a 4 cylinder, or radial
model engine on the nose to make it look real good.
But right now my 1:1 scale is down for work.
1. My CAP prop needed a shim to take up the pitch
change slop that was causing the prop to jump 400 rpm.
When trying out the shim, I crimped the prop control
wires and broke the insolation. Now I have to replace
the wires and rebuild the prop too.
2. When I put the prop back on, I'll try to improve
the tracking that was 5/16th off.
3. I am replacing my oil breather to prevent
excessive oil burping. Capping the line off from the
oil pan and using a breather/collector instead of a
return.
4. Roughing in my radiator scoop for testing.
5. My right strobe and fuel/air ratio sender have
intermittant electrical faults to be fixed.
6. I installed a fuel pressure regulator and higher
pressure fuel pump. At high power, my pressure would
drop to 1 or 1.5 psi with the old pump making the
engine go lean and EGT's rise. I am looking for a
steady pressure of 4-4.5 psi to maintain my mixture
setting and EGT's.
Then there is this going to work thingy....
Just too busy right now to do the model justice. ;-)

I origionally used the yellow Tygon, just like SS uses
for their vent line, and the Tygon shrunk. It took in
all the slack I had left for wing folding. The Tygon
will stretch for wing fold, but I didn't like
stressing it like that. I just bought 1/4 and 3/8ths
Polyurethane for fuel lines and sight gauges. Don S.
said his works well. He has had them longer, so....
Pass to you Don.... How are your's doing?
