    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Dee Young" <henrysfork1@msn.com> No doubt Don, Haven't flew for a month. Its shown a sign of cooling some here in Idaho. It was down to 75 yesterday and mornings are feeling like a touch of fall in the air and well suited for flying the KF. Really glad when the hot days are over too. Don't seem to be much traffic on building these days. Its disappointing things have slowed down like they have. Hope it picks back up again.

    Subject: 13 gal fuel tank
    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Hm Doud" <hmdoud@ev1.net> Hopefully some mkember will be able to help with my problem. I have a Kitfox model 4 and have purchased a 13 gal fuel wing tank. I have a 6 gal tank on the right hand side and want to replace the 6 gal with the 13 gal. I have searched and can't find the tank installation and fastening proceedure. Altho I haven't cut into the wing top, I know that there must be some top rib trimming to make way for the larger tank. I'm not clear on how the tank must be secured and what to do about the much larger, unsupported fabric area which will be on the tank top. I shouldn't think the the fabric would be glued to the top of the fuel tank, but unless there is some sort of support, wouldn't there be a problem with ballooning of the unsupported fabic? Hopfully many of the members have gone thru this proceedure............Otherwise, I may have to lash the tank onto the tail section, or possibly fabricate wings, so that it might be towed. Herb

    Subject: Oil Cooler
    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Jimmie Blackwell" <jablackwell@ev1.net> Just got a new oil cooler from Lockwood. Hoping that someone may have mounted an oil cooler like the one on page 154 of the Lockwood catalog on a 912. I have some ideas on how to mount it, but would like to see how others have mounted this oil cooler. Jimmie

    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Andrew Matthaey" <spaghettiohead@hotmail.com> Hello Herb - I have a 13 gallon tank in my KF 3...The in-board fabric is in fact fastened to the fuel tank. This helps ease refueling - you can use it as an elbow rest while you're supporting the jerry-can, and you do not need to worry about the fabric moving/ripping etc...
