Were you trying to upload it to Sportflight Doug? What size file was it?
What sort of reply were you were receiving?

I am refurbishing a model 2. One question I have been meaning to ask is about the
adjustment of the brake pedals. Although I have not flown it, I have taxied
it a bit and find that actuating the rudders without dragging a little brake
requires me to bend my foot backwards, if you can picture it. To me, common sense
would have these adjusted a little more forward so that the toe of my foot
was not working the brake in a relaxed position. I have not seen any guidance
on the proper adjustment of these, maybe there is some reason that I am not aware
of that I should leave them as they are. Any thoughts?

Jeff, I encountered the same problem when building my Model II. I chased the threads
down some on the actuating rod on each brake cylinder. That took care of
the problem for me.

I had the same consideration as you, Jeff, when I bought my Kitfox. I intended
to change it but ... with time I got accustomed to the "no-brake-foot-position"
and I it's no longer a problem.
Cheers,
Michel

Jeff, with a little studying, you'll see where some of this can be adjusted
out of there. However, the model II has very little room for any shoe size
larger than about a 9 or so. With my old Model II what I did was get a pair
of nice fleece lined moccasins that I used for flying the airplane. Allowed
me to "feel" the brake/rudder pedals which worked much better. I just kept
them in the airplane. The S5 I'm flying now has plenty of room. I can even
wear boots with room to spare!
Hope this helps.

The name of the song is "Only time", and is on the "Day Without Rain",
album. Enya first became famous in the late 80's with her first hit,
"Orinoco Flow". She also was responsible for most of the vocals on the
soundtrack for The Lord of the Rings. Pretty hypnotic stuff.

Yes, Jeff, I agree...I just bought the CD "Day W/O Rain" and it's
really easy listening and as you say, hypnotic. I haven't gotten around
to seeing Lord of the Rings, although I read the books years ago....now
maybe I'll find new interest in the movie...thanks for the tip.
