I have just purchased another Kit Fox, this time a Mod 4. My previous one a
5 now resides with Scott in Nome. Anyway,I am looking for 2 posts that
appeared on the site. One was for a fuel quantity drawing that you could
print out and place behind the site tube in the wing to indicate fuel
quantity.
The other post was for a Weight & Balance Program that could be downloaded
to calculate W&B on various models.
Also since I am posting does anyone have any info or sources for a cabin
heater for a mod 4 using a 912UL.
Thanks,
George

A truly amazing scenery, Lowell. Those oak trees from your DVD are almost
surrealistic. Thanks for sharing.

My master solenoid leaks! When it is "off" it shows about 12.8 volts on the
side that should be zero! It won't carry much current and the voltage drops
off if any load is put on it, but it still is enough to drain the battery
over a few days or week. (which seems to mean that I have some other draw,
or short, that I shouldn't have!) When the solenoid is "on" all works as it
is supposed to if the battery is up.
Should I be hunting a new master solenoid? Or is there something else I am
missing?
Thanks,

Randy
Just for a quick check disconnect the battery side of the
solenoid ---- if the 12.8V is gone from the other side when
solenoid is off, then something is whacko with the
solenoid. However if you disconnect the Batt side and the
other side still has 12.8V then you have a secondary circuit
bringing that voltage to the terminal that should normally
be off.

builder=0D=0A=0D=0A=0D=0AThanks everyone for the engine advice on & off
list.I've added a third one to the choices,a Rotec radial.I've seen these on
the net but did not know they are available here in the U.S.In fact there is a
dealer by Grand Rapids,about 70 miles from me.I'm going to check them out when
his next batch comes in at the end of June.They sure look great in the photos,there's
just something about a round engine.And the price is in line with my
other choices.Thanks Again for your help!Eric Richardson=0D=0A

Graeme,
I have a panel mounted compass and had the same
problem. I'm not sure if your panel is secured like
the Classic IV? Mine had two steel tubes that
supported the panel that I had to replace with
aluminum tubing. After that, the compass with accurate
within 5 degrees.

"THE BOYS OF POINTE DU HOC"
By RONALD REAGAN
June 6, 2004 -- Excerpts from President Reagan's remarks to veterans
assembled at the U.S. Ranger Monument at Pointe du Hoc, France, on D-Day's
40th anniversary.
==========================
WE stand on a lonely, windswept point on the northern shore of France. The
air is soft, but 40 years ago at this moment, the air was dense with smoke
and the cries of men, and the air was filled with the crack of rifle fire
and the roar of cannon.
At dawn, on the morning of the 6th of June, 1944, 225 Rangers jumped off the
British landing craft and ran to the bottom of these cliffs. Their mission
was one of the most difficult and daring of the invasion: to climb these
sheer and desolate cliffs and take out the enemy guns. The Allies had been
told that some of the mightiest of these guns were here and they would be
trained on the beaches to stop the Allied advance.
The Rangers looked up and saw the enemy soldiers - the edge of the cliffs
shooting down at them with machine guns and throwing grenades. And the
American Rangers began to climb. They shot rope ladders over the face of
these cliffs and began to pull themselves up. When one Ranger fell, another
would take his place. When one rope was cut, a Ranger would grab another and
begin his climb again. They climbed, shot back, and held their footing.
Soon, one by one, the Rangers pulled themselves over the top, and in seizing
the firm land at the top of these cliffs, they began to seize back the
continent of Europe. Two hundred and twenty-five came here. After two days
of fighting, only 90 could still bear arms.
Behind me is a memorial that symbolizes the Ranger daggers that were thrust
into the top of these cliffs. And before me are the men who put them there.
These are the boys of Pointe du Hoc. These are the men who took the cliffs.
These are the champions who helped free a continent. These are the heroes
who helped end a war.
Gentlemen, I look at you and I think of the words of Stephen Spender's poem.
You are men who in your "lives fought for life ... and left the vivid air
signed with your honor."
Forty summers have passed since [that] battle. You were young the day you
took these cliffs; some of you were hardly more than boys, with the deepest
joys of life before you. Yet, you risked everything here. Why? Why did you
do it? What impelled you to put aside the instinct for self-preservation and
risk your lives to take these cliffs? What inspired all the men of the
armies that met here? We look at you, and somehow we know the answer. It was
faith and belief; it was loyalty and love.
The men of Normandy had faith that what they were doing was right, faith
that they fought for all humanity, faith that a just God would grant them
mercy on this beachhead or on the next.
It was the deep knowledge - and pray God we have not lost it - that there is
a profound, moral difference between the use of force for liberation and the
use of force for conquest. You were here to liberate, not to conquer, and so
you and those others did not doubt your cause. And you were right not to
doubt.
You all knew that some things are worth dying for. One's country is worth
dying for, and democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply
honorable form of government ever devised by man. All of you loved liberty.
All of you were willing to fight tyranny, and you knew the people of your
countries were behind you.
Something else helped the men of D-Day: their rock-hard belief that
Providence would have a great hand in the events that would unfold here;
that God was an ally in this great cause. And so, the night before the
invasion, Gen. Matthew Ridgway on his cot, listening in the darkness for the
promise God made to Joshua: "I will not fail thee nor forsake thee."
WHEN the war was over, there were lives to be rebuilt and governments to be
returned to the people. There were nations to be reborn. Above all, there
was a new peace to be assured. These were huge and daunting tasks. But the
Allies summoned strength from the faith, belief, loyalty, and love of those
who fell here. They rebuilt a new Europe together.
We in America have learned bitter lessons from two World Wars: It is better
to be here ready to protect the peace than to take blind shelter across the
sea, rushing to respond only after freedom is lost. We've learned that
isolationism never was and never will be an acceptable response to
tyrannical governments with an expansionist intent.
But we try always to be prepared for peace; prepared to deter aggression;
prepared to negotiate the reduction of arms; and, yes, prepared to reach out
again in the spirit of reconciliation.
We are bound today by what bound us 40 years ago, the same loyalties,
traditions, and beliefs. We're bound by reality. The strength of America's
allies is vital to the United States, and the American security guarantee is
essential to the continued freedom of Europe's democracies. We were with you
then; we are with you now. Your hopes are our hopes, and your destiny is our
destiny.
Here, in this place where the West held together, let us make a vow to our
dead. Let us show them by our actions that we understand what they died for.
Let our actions say to them the words for which Matthew Ridgway listened: "I
will not fail thee nor forsake thee."
Strengthened by their courage, heartened by their [valor], and borne by
their memory, let us continue to stand for the ideals for which they lived
and died.
Thank you very much, and God bless you all.

To all my friends on this list,
I have sold my Kitfox project this past week and I wish to thank everyone I
had interfaced with and who have helped me build my dream over the past 10
years. I have known many a good pilot but not as good as on this list. I
pay my respects to those who shared our dreams and have passed on to bluer
skies. Thank you all who share in the dream of flight.
BTW, I sold my project to a fine gentleman named Guy Buchanan of San Diego;
please help him as you have helped me.
Best wishes to all and fly safe..

Bob,
It was great having you on the list for such as long time. Thank you for all
that you contributed to the list!
Do you have another project in the works? Thinking about one?
Be sure to tell Guy to join the list, if you have not already.
Good luck in your Kitfox-less life!!

Sounds like the solenoid might be connected backwards....that is if it has a
suppresion diode/resister network internal to the contact the diode would
allow bleed through if connected reversed.
Is the solenoid warm even when it has been off?
Otherwise there is another circuit tied to the battery ahead of the Master.
