--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "R & L Ainsworth" <rainsworth@xtra.co.nz>
Hello List
Does any one have two of the old style ATV rims they would like to sell
?They are for a 1991 Model 3 Denny Kitfox.
Alternatively does anyone know of any other type or style or manufacture who
makes rims to fit the old style .75 inch axeles and what sort of tires they
would take.
TIA

Hello Dave,
How near is "nearly touches" in inches? I think this water-cooled engine never
gets the cylinder head that hot that it could cause problems. What you could do,
though, is this: Get that double-sided glue tape that is on a very thin foam
strip. The one you use to install e.g. a cell phone holder on the dashboard
of your car.
Tape it on the part of your oil tank that is close to the cylinder head. Then cover
it with aluminium foil with the glossy side out. The foil and the foam will
give excellent heat isolation.
But, more important, you should have an oil level sensor in your tank with a warning
light on your panel.
Cheers,
Michel

Argh! You can say that, brother! I am still trying to get me head out of the water
in a sea of epoxy, glassfiber and micro-balloons! :-)
Anyway, glad to hear you are pleased with your Jabiru. I think I will be too, although
it is only a 2200. First trial flight is planned for first days of February.
... ok, now I have to go back and dive down again in my epoxy! :-) ...
did I mention sanding? Lots of sanding? Argh! :-)
Cheers,

We have many new members with us and some may not know about the Kitfox
List photo archive. On the subject of posting photos and other attachment
type things, I'd like to remind everyone that for several years Don
Pearsall's Sportflight.com site has been the Kitfox List's repository for
photos, drawings, and other long term attachment type information that can't
be sent through the List. This site is our archive of what the members have
been doing and is a wealth of information and ideas. It's all categorized,
If members choose to use the matronics photo share, that's ok, but to
prevent fragmentation and for long term continuity sake, I'd suggest that it
would be a better choice to support our "upload" site. Take a look, browse
around, and if any questions or comments, feel free to let us know.
Simple to use. Just go to Sportflight.com, click on then follow
prompts. Lots of other good Kitfox stuff in Sportflight so take a look.

David:
The standard ratio gas/oil in a Rotax 2-stroke is 50/1. Obviously this
ratio varies with the injection system based on how fast the engine is
running (richer at high speed and leaner at lower rpm) but it would probably
average out close to that. This ratio figures out to 16 ounces of oil for
6.25 gallons of gas or about 26 ounces for your 10 gallon tank. Based on
this, a 32 ounce tank should be more than adequate (assuming that it's
draining from the bottom of the tank), and if you fill the oil tank each
time you gas up, you probably wouldn't need a sight gauge. Hope this helps.

| Subject: | Kitfox 5 w/Jabiru 3300 Details - CORRECTED Prop Length |
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: <Lonnie_D._Tillinghast@oxy.com>
I am a fan of this list for a few months now, have posted a few comments
(but not a daily participator), and have had several people ask a few
questions about my 5 and Jabiru combination as they are not real common.
I thought I would throw a few details out there especially for those
pondering engine choices and offer any help that I could.
In Nov. I bought a 2-year old 5 with a 6-cylinder Jabiru 3300 in it
after looking for more than a year at all the engine combinations that
are available. The Fox is decked out and weighs 812lbs with a Sensinich
W64ZK-44 prop (64"), Grove landing gear, Grove/Maule tail wheel, wheel
pants, 6-pack instrument cluster, radio, transponder, color moving map
GPS, Rocky Mountain engine analyzer, 5-function stick grip, CD player,
etc. It had 145 hours on it when I bought it, has 160 now...only
limited by rainy weather. It was built by an A&P for Southwest Airlines
in Phoenix. Cruises easily under 75% power at 120mph and 6gph. Can
push it to 85% power at 130mph at 7gph, but the extra 10mph is not worth
the 1gph...besides, who that fly's a Fox is in a hurry??? Personally, I
like flying it around at 90-110mph and 4.5-5.0gph, sometimes slower with
the doors off. Full power is not needed to takeoff...I often don't use
it. I can not believe the performance and how quiet and smooth the
Jabiru is...I especially like the simplicity of it. It makes no
difference if you have one or two people in the Fox...quarter full of
gas or topped off, she JUMPS off the ground!
I have had people ask about the cowling fit as that seems to be a common
challenge...it is the Safari cowl and was extended to accommodate the
longer 6-cylinder engine by a company that does boat repairs.
From another post, I saw the following table re. weights and engine
choices, I added my 3300 and the hp's:
Engine Empty weight
912s (100hp) 750 lbs
3300 (120hp) 812lbs
O-200 (100hp) 850 lbs
O-235 (118hp) 900 lbs
O-240 (125hp) 900 lbs
Obviously all engine choices have their pros & cons and I'll stay away
from that. I would, however, encourage anyone that is trying to decide
which engine to use to take a look at a Jabiru (you are welcome to come
fly mine) and their website is www.usjabiru.com. For those that already
have an engine and don't want to spend any more money, I'd stay away
from them...;-)
Please let me know if I can help.
Thanks,
Lonnie

Speaking of which, does anyone know about the Skinny
Dipper oil level indicator? This is all I know so far
and was thinking of using one. It seems to give oil
level and temp readouts.

Kerry you might consider using what you have for a while. I have had no
problems
with the Maule wheel to date.
I have a MKIV with the Maule SFSA tailwheel this is the solid tyre. I guess
in that configuration it worked OK but it was noisy so we changed just the
wheel not the assembly to a homebuilders soft rubber tyre P/N 06-03600.
This not only made one hell of a difference taxi-ing on bitumen noise wise
but it is easier to taxi and we feel it is handling better on landing.

I like the Maule tail as well as the Citabria and it handles almost exactly the

I think I'll hang a hot water bottle from an over head tube above the right seat.
I'll attach enema plumbing and hook it to my oil injector. Then I'll know
how much I have left and if I go IFR I can use it as a turn and bank indicator!!!!
I'll probably get an STC for that setup!!!!

Speaking of which, does anyone know about the Skinny
Dipper oil level indicator? This is all I know so far
and was thinking of using one. It seems to give oil
level and temp readouts.

Neat idea. Might work well as an inverted system as well.
