Hello All,
About a year ago, I completed a video project putting all of the Kitfox
promotional videos that I could find on two DVDs. The two completed DVDs
were sent to Frank Miller for his approval for me to distribute to the
Kitfox list but he never responded.
With what has now happened to Skystar, can I legally send these DVDs out?
Any lawyers here? If so, is there anyone on here that is interested in
viewing them?
Thanks,
Grant Fluent

Same here! I look forward to the winter and flying with my skis. One thing,
though, I try to get a good cabin heater with my new Jabiru and ... it's not as
simple as it looks like. I need to pick a high pressure spot, near the engine
where the air is hot and clean. Today, I tried something new: A scoop picking
air from the oil pan, going under the muffler but in a flatten out alu tube so
that there is no chance picking CO from a leaking exhaust pipe. It works ... a
bit. Not enough air coming through. Next week-end, I'll try something else.
Never a boring day with an experimental aircraft! :-)
Cheers,
Michel

Good point, Roger. I have the plate because my Kitfox was built as experimental
but now, it is registered as ultralight and I don't need the plate. Still, it
looks great! :-)

I have a Mod 5 with a 912S and recently installed a dual Amp & Volt meter. I previously
only had a Amp meter. While flying today the voltage reading started
to rise until it was at the top of the scale at appox 18 volts and the amp meter
at appox. 5 amps. After I cycled a few accessories the voltage came back down
to around 13.5 - 14 volts and the amps at just a slight positive deflection
from 0.
My question is does this sound like a rectifier or some other problem ?
Thanks

I'd appreciate someone providing me with the source & part # for a
Series 7 radiator (PN 54016.102) or the dimensions so I can seek one out.
Also, the Series 7 uses a 2" prop extension. Anyone using an IVO prop
with a 2" extension? Again, I'd appreciate info re a source for the
extension.
Finally, what is the Rotax PN for the 912S air filter, Skystar PN
64903.000 (for a Series 7)?
Thanks,

George I can't answer your question but as you are an S5 with 912S flyer
then I'd like to put a couple of questions. We are about to receive the
flight permit for an S5 with 912S and as the day draws closer questions
arise.
Any problems with the trim? Our inspector thought the trim indicator was all
wrong and we've just spent a day completely re-doing everything to do with
the trim (according to the manual) and ended up back where we were in the
first place.
Did all your rigging come out right? Our down elevator is one or two degrees
less than it should be.
What's your cruise speed? We have fixed pitch prop, Grove gear and big
tyres.
And are you pleased with your S5?
Sorry about the questions and lack of answers but you probably know how it
is as the day approaches - the head scratching and worrying intensifies.

You really can not put the trim markings on until you fly. Just use a
marker and put a line on the metal strip just for reference were you
think is about right. You will be holding on to the stick so tight the
first flight that you will have no idea if the trim is right or not.
Then when you fly you can see were it really is and remark. When you are
happy with that then put your sicker on. Close is good enough for test
flying as the stick pressures are not that high even if you are way out
of trim, like full up when you forget to reset before takeoff. You will
find that the plane does not use much trim except for landing. I use one
notch flaps for takeoff and taking the flap off goes to close to cruse
climb. Little bumps to the switch will tune it up. It is a bugger
getting that sticker on without taking the indicator out, which is why I
have colored tape to indicate the takeoff zone on one of my planes. Too
many thumbs to install it right

--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "flier" <flier@sbcglobal.net>
Mike,
Never said I had a concern. Back in '95/'96 when I built my IV-1200, I had
a long conversation with the tech guys at Skystar about the static testing.
Particularly concerning the failure modes. They were very clear about the
rod ends on the lift struts being the primary failure point both in positive
and negative loading.
The IV-1200 is rated at 6G ultimate (calculated). I respect those
calculations. Anyone else is certainly free to exceed those limits.
With respect to your crash, I have to say that the supposed G-factor
imparted doesn't count in my book. The Kitfox structure is rugged but I
still wouldn't subject it to loads beyond it's ratings.
Only my opinion. Do not archive.
Regards,
Ted

"Flyer" sez:

I don't know whose struts broke at 6g, but when I bought my original
Model IV kit the promotion material Denney had at the time showed
photographs of destructive wing testing they performed in house: the
wing, lift struts and associated fuselage attach points survived 14g
(simulated with sandbags) without failing.
I also had the opportunity to study the effects of my crash landing
on the structure--none of the welded or bolted points on the wings,
struts, or fuselage failed in what was estimated by the rescuers to
be a 20g impact.
I have no concerns about the strength of the Kitfox airframe.

Hi George. I noted the same thing happening with my Model 2 (582). It had the original
equipment regulator/rectifier that came with the kit. I also noted on
inspection that the original regulator showed physical signs of having overheated.
I replaced it with a Key West blue box from Aircraft Spruce and the indicated
voltage dropped back to 13-14 at full power.
There's a good article on regulator/rectifiers for Rotax engines at http://www.georgia-ultralights.com/page/page/898129.htm

Just a heads up.
The following items are being offered for sale. The engine is broken in and
has less than 75 hours.
If there is something not listed please let me know and we can figure
something out. I am offering at 75 percent of new unless otherwise stated
or agreed upon. Many of these items are based on 2002 prices. No tax and
actual UPS shipping only. I accept Pay Pal at wingsdown@comcast.net for fast
delivery. I will be posting pics to a web site soon. If you need some
right away just let me know.
I have decided to sell the engine package less firewall engine mount to
firewall. It was originally an NSI engine. I have completely rebuilt the
engine to include the heads. The redrive unit has the latest upgrade from
NSI, which I believe was new shaft and material, larger bearings and the
like. Below is a list of mods and parts:
Total run time appx 70 hours, engine was not running at time of nose wheel
collapse. Oil pan was damaged by nose strut but can be easily repaired or
replaced for about 300 dollars. . Engine has since been run, and oil changed
as well as redrive oil. This engine makes over 150HP. I will include
radiator and necessary plumbing from aircraft. This engine is complete and
ready to mount to NSI engine mount for aircraft of your choosing. It was in
a model 5 Kitfox. Mounts on engine are included. No break in necessary, its
been done. Keep in mind the rotax engine is going for about 20K and does not
make this kind of power nor is it rated for continuous full power operation.
New pistons and rings
All new bearings and seals
Pistons, pins, rings and block cryogenic treated, not over sized
Pistons ceramic coated tops molly sides
Cylinders line honed
Crank zero run out
reconditioned rods with new bushings weight matched
new turbo cam coated by Swain
reconditioned lifters
stainless down pipe and stack
heads have stainless valves, 3 angle valve cut, ceramic tops and scallops,
new bronze guides, coated HP springs, reconditioned rockers
intake manifold special Swain heat dissipating coating
Oil lines are Teflon
New Taylor ignition wires
Stainless headers by Dawley Aviation with special Swain coating, with EGT
holes
MOCAL oil thermostat plumbed with lines will provide cooler
New oil pump
remote filter mount and Teflon lines
new water pump
Turbo completely rebuilt and upgraded to include new compressor section,
Swain coated exhaust turbine section, hard line cooling line and more.
Ellison TBI 3A, all fuel lines Teflon to include line to firewall
Powder coated aluminum valve covers
Dual electronic ignition and pick ups, programmable
Alternator with overage voltage unit
Engine block heater, not that I needed it here in sunny California
I will give the list first shot and then either sell it locally or list on
EBay. This is a strong smooth engine. You wont be disappointed. If you have
the non-turbo NSI then this would be an easy swap for much more power and
higher density altitude capabilities. If your serious and would like to see
her run let me know ASAP.

Long Wings with lift struts and braces, struts fared in, flapperons. These
items were damaged. Left substantially more than the right. They will both
need have the fabric removed and be inspected, repaired and re-certified for
airworthiness. I would say major damage to the left wing and minor to
moderate to the right. I can e-mail detail pics of both. Considering the
cost of new wings at over $4000.00 I think a fair starting point would be
about $1500 I am open to offers higher or a little lower. Will assist

will help you load up.

Hi Ron, we have an unused cowl for the Continental 0-200 engine on a Series
5. Problem is we are in Vienna Austria and the freight costs would probably
make this non-viable for you. However keep
it in mind and if you don't source anything locally give me an email and we
will try to work out a

The following items are being offered for sale. The engine is broken in and
has less than 75 hours.
If there is something not listed please let me know and we can figure
something out. I am offering at 75 percent of new unless otherwise stated
or agreed upon. Many of these items are based on 2002 prices. No tax and
actual UPS shipping only. I accept Pay Pal at wingsdown@comcast.net for fast
delivery. I will be posting pics to a web site soon. If you need some
right away just let me know.
I have decided to sell the engine package less firewall engine mount to
firewall. It was originally an NSI engine. I have completely rebuilt the
engine to include the heads. The redrive unit has the latest upgrade from
NSI, which I believe was new shaft and material, larger bearings and the
like. Below is a list of mods and parts:
Total run time appx 70 hours, engine was not running at time of nose wheel
collapse. Oil pan was damaged by nose strut but can be easily repaired or
replaced for about 300 dollars. . Engine has since been run, and oil changed
as well as redrive oil. This engine makes over 150HP. I will include
radiator and necessary plumbing from aircraft. This engine is complete and
ready to mount to NSI engine mount for aircraft of your choosing. It was in
a model 5 Kitfox. Mounts on engine are included. No break in necessary, its
been done. Keep in mind the rotax engine is going for about 20K and does not
make this kind of power nor is it rated for continuous full power operation.
New pistons and rings
All new bearings and seals
Pistons, pins, rings and block cryogenic treated, not over sized
Pistons ceramic coated tops molly sides
Cylinders line honed
Crank zero run out
reconditioned rods with new bushings weight matched
new turbo cam coated by Swain
reconditioned lifters
stainless down pipe and stack
heads have stainless valves, 3 angle valve cut, ceramic tops and scallops,
new bronze guides, coated HP springs, reconditioned rockers
