Don,
Luckily in Canada we don't have that problem. All the Rotax's will be in
either an Advanced U/L or an experimental (amateur built). In both cases
the current owner is deemed to be qualified to be able to do the work.
But.....Yes. We are a Certified Service Center by Rotax and we will fill the
engine log and certified that the work has been done by a certified repair
facility according to Rotax's standards. I might be off base here, but I'm
pretty sure that Lockwood (whom also do certified Rotax engines) or any of
the other service cneters would be able to do the same. There are a bunch
of Rotax engines powering experimentals and this is the first time I have
heard that senario. Is it possible that this is just one FAA's employee's
interpretation of the rules?
Hope this helps

| Subject: | Arctic Fox now on Crutches |
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: Scott McClintock <scott_mcclintock@dot.state.ak.us>
Just an update for those who follow my escapades.
Took the afternoon off from work yesterday to take advantage of some
unusual sunny weather and got the bent spring gear off the "Arctic Fox".
Even though the sun was out, I still needed the insulated coveralls as
the temp was only 40F.
I had hoped to do this inside a nice warm hangar but Jimmy West's C-180
is still in there and looks to be for a week or so more. His flying
"junk yard" looks like it needs more that what he indicates and I wanna
go flying again ASAP.
Anyway, I did this outside at my tie down. It would have been nice to
have an extra hand but I was able to get it done without.
Had to use my floor jack, propped up on two car tire rims, with a 12"X
6"X 36" timber over that to jack each side up. Then I placed an 8"X 8"
under each wheel to get her off the ground. Then, I placed my beefed up
(custom carpeted) saw horse under the bungie gear forward mounts.
Then, after some creative repositioning of the jack and support system,
up and additional inch to get the 8"X 8"s out from the wheels.
It was a simple process getting the wheels and brakes off, then the 4
long bolts that attach the gear mounts to the longerons, and viola',
bent gear off and in the back of the pickup.
She looks a little forlorn sitting there supported by my temporary
"crutch" system, but whatever it takes.
Was able to get a good look at the lower airframe to inspect for any
bending and all looks well. I'll be getting a second opinion from my A&I
buddy just to be sure and satisfy the NTSB so I won't have to fill out
the incident report.
(They really don't care about the bent landing gear or the tail wheel,
just will have to fill out the paperwork only if damage was sustained to
the flight controls or the airframe.) This is not the case so whew!
Today, I will apply some paint stripper to the powdercoat so I can get
that off. (Grove won't put it in the oven with paint on) I hope to get
this off to UPS tomorrow via Red Label to El Cajon, CA.
Say, do any of you that upgraded their S-5 to S-7 flaperons want to sell
me the old ones?
If not, I think I will upgrade to the S-7 type but am worried that SS
may make me wait until (November)??????
Anybody having any luck getting their orders filled?

Graeme,
I'm pleased that you enjoy my somewhat verbose posts and today's is no
exception, but you missed your opportunity to be the first to start?
I (we) haven't a clue where you are located so if this type of thread

Hi Bob!
No, I guess it is just my misinformed interpretation
of the rules, since I never owned an EXPERIMENTAL
while not having the repairmens cert. Actually, the
only EXPERIMENTAL that I owned was a sailplane.
So, it seems it's not a big deal, as long as an A&P
signs it off each year : )

Yes, I'd appreciate very much an answer to this question: If I flare and float
over the runway at an angle equal to my three-points position (measure roughtly
to 16 degrees) why do I stall as my speed bleeds off? The AoA doesn't increase,
does it? And I learned that there isn't such a thing as stall speed, only stall
AoA.
> It is the ground effect.
Ah! This is interesting. I know a bit about ground effect as I have been nearly
one year on the Yahoo WIG list. As you may know WIG (Wing In Ground) guys build
crazy craft that are not really a plane, nor a bird, not even Superman! :-)
What I find interesting is that they say something like this: Efficient
commercial transport is based on a high lift to drag ratio. Apparently you can
calculate that ratio for everything: A camel, a train, a tanker, a plane and
... a WIG craft. The latter is supposed to have the highest L/D ratio known to
mankind. Lift is equal to the cargo you can transport as its weight has to be
counter with lift. Drag is equal to the thrust, of fuel you have to use to
overcome it. Hence high L/D means cheap transport. The problem is: A WIG craft
is not a plane and ICAO doesn't want to hear about it, neither IMO
(International Maritime Organization) who says it is certainly not a vessel.
Have you see the Orlyonok? (called the Caspian Sea Monster by the CIA) It is a
monster of a short winged Russian craft that flies at 210 knots a few meters
over the water. If the WIG supporters get it their way, I can imagine in
a
decade or two transatlantic transport done with WIG craft maybe three times the
size of a 747, flying at maybe 100 feet over the ocean at say 250 knots. I
don't think time is the real issue in intercontinental travels. Otherwise
supersonic planes like the Concorde would have done better. But a big and cheap
monster (in fact, the mother of all monsters!) that can take you across the
Atlantic in say, 12 hours (while you sleep) and maybe your car in the cargo
room, is something that might catch up.
The problem still is: It would mean a sure death to my poor sailboat if I am in
their path. A solution: control the sea as the air is. The GPS makes it
possible today.
... but that takes us far away from Vortex Generators, doesn't it? :-)
Cheers,
Michel

| Subject: | Challenge accepted. |
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Graeme Toft" <msm@byterocky.net>
OK Scott, I accept the challenge. I am a 52 year old father of 5 and have an occupational
health and safety consultancy. Primarily my work is related to both
mining and construction activities and with the growing incidence of litigation
occurring more and more often in Australia, my work is mainly centred around
reactive issues rather than proactive. I live in Central Queensland in a coastal
town called Yeppoon. The area is on the southern tip of the Great Barrier
Reef and has many islands and beaches. Our temperature averages 22C with of
up to 40 and as low as 6-7. Local flying is great and takes in many uninhabited
island and great coastal scenery. Our coastal mountain ranges rarely exceed
3500' but a covered in magnificent rain forest. To our north, the Shoal Water
Bay military training area covers a huge expance and is often closed to flying.
Special permission can be obtained at times to fly through so a long diversion
can be avoided when travelling to say Mackay or Townsville which are our closest
northern neighbours. Inland we have the Callide and Bowen basin and highlands
where cattle and coal mining are the primary industries. Population is sparse
from here out and community populations rarely exceed 2-3 thousand. There
is often many hundreds of Kilometres between towns and navigation features become
a bit of a challenge. This is GPS country for the lazy pilot.
As would be expected temperatures in this part of Central Queensland generate a
lot of turbulence and often flying above 6000' is necessary to make life more
comfortable. In winter the flying conditions are perfect with still cool days
providing arm chair conditions and visibility which often exceeds 100 miles.
There is a heavy reliance on small aircraft for commuting and many cattle stations
have say a Cessna 206 for family travel and a ultralight for cattle mustering
and travel throughout the property. Keeping in mind these properties are
in many cases over 2or 3 hundred thousand acres and are measured in square kilometres.
So thats me. I hope this idea works. We all have a story to tell and
pilots are generally really interesting people to talk to. So back to you Scott
and others. Do you accept the challenge. Im sure many will be watching this
space for the next instalment.
Cheers for now
Graeme

Gil,
I see where New London is just seven miles southwest of Lynchburg
Regional (LYH). Never been there, but have flown into Falwell (W24). I
just might go there, weather permitting. When will you be flying
south? My home base is Warrenton at W66 ? Do not archive.
