Airdale make a wheel penetration ski kit for the Avids,
exactly the same as Avid's. They accept the 6:00x6, 8:00x6 Tires or
even the wheel barrow type as fitted to very early models.
Our jig was made by the same guy who made up Avid's way back in 1990.
(He's been working for us nearly two years.)
We also have an A model set of wheels, brakes, and landing gear Fully
assembled to a set of skis, available. Cost is $975 + shipping.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone AND Many Many thanks
for all your support / business this year.
Steve and Jerry at Airdale.

Dave S. sez:
>...think of the calibration errors in an ASI - indicated and true
>airspeed are not the same number either...
Not to take away from Dave's other very good points, but there is a
small nit to pick here. The difference between indicated and true
airspeeds is not due to calibration errors, but due to temperature
and air pressure variation. Calibration errors are the difference
between indicated and calibrated airspeeds.
Indicated A/S (IAS) corrected for instrument error --> calibrated A/S (CAS)
Calibrated A/S corrected for altitude & temperature --> true A/S (TAS)

Sad news fron Colorado today. This article is frquoted from the
local news. A/C registration was N94VC.
NIWOT - Two people were killed when a small plane crashed on a
frozen lake Saturday morning.
The plane went down in the Niowt area near 115th Street and
Highway 52.
Federal Aviation Administration operations officer Karen Byrd
says the homebuilt aircraft did not crash through the ice on the
lake. Authorities have not identified the victims.
The single-engine plane, a Kitfox Speedster, was registered to a
Lafayette man.
Byrd says the crash happened around 8:20 a.m. The plane had taken
off from the Jefferson County Airport in Broomfield.

There's more info, a picture and a video at this site:
http://www.9news.com/acm_news.aspx?OSGNAME=KUSA&IKOBJECTID=5dca3498-0abe-421a-0171-169d1e3cef8d&TEMPLATEID=0c76dce6-ac1f-02d8-0047-c589c01ca7bf
Neil Bresler is the owner of the plane and the last time I spoke with him he
was still taking flying lessons, however, his son Neil Jr. was a pilot and
often flew the plane when in town. I assume it was Neil Jr. at the controls.
Sadly, my wife and I watched them make their final take off from Erie
Municipal Airport (where we live) just minutes before the accident. The lake
upon which they crashed is about 5 miles north of here.
This sure hangs a cloud over Christmas, but my wife and I like to go flying
on holiday mornings, and we still plan to go tomorrow morning. We'll make
this flight in memory of the two young men that perished today, anyone care
to join us?
Best Wishes and Merry Christmas,
Cliff
btw, channel 2 news taped a few comments from me about the safety of
experimentals and Kitfoxes and may air it at 9:00 pm Mtn time tonight

Michel,
Your Norwegian Santa is a hazard to navigation because his sleigh is underpowered
with only 2 reindeer. In the US, at least 12 are required. ;-)
Merry Christmas!

| Subject: | Sensenich prop Ground adjustable |
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Tom Tomlin" <ThomasTomlin@comcast.net>
Gents,
I'm currently testing a new Sensenich Ground adjustable 64" prop on my Jabiru 3300
powered IV Speedster.
Much better than the Jabiru wood prop(60"x54). But then I already knew the Jab
prop was not optimum.
Let's see what do I think I know?
What I'm flying:
A dirty IV Speedster
720 lbs empty
rough non-original lift strut fairings (temporary)
Grove gear (unfaired under the belly)
600x6.00 Cleveland wheels and tires (no pants(temporary))
Smooth cowling (Skyfox)
Spinner on Jabiru prop only at this time.
Previous best:
Best climb solo 1300-1500fpm @ 60-65mph indicated, 3300rpm, Approx 7200 Density
Altitude.
Best cruise 105mph indicated @ 2650rpm, Approx 7200 Density Altitude.
Note:
80 hp Rotax powered IV Speedster(clean) with in flight adj Ivo out runs me by
15-20 mph
well.he used to anyway. He still beats me on fuel burn though.
Sensenich First test: 15 degree @ my reference points @75% or 21" from hub on
28" blade
Takeoff Max 2480rpm, 800foot ground roll, Approx 5000ft Density Altitude.
Climb @ 8-900fpm, Cruise @ 120mph indicated full throttle 2480 rpm max.,6.7gph
Sensenich Second test: 12.5 degree @ my reference points @75% or 21" from hub
on 28" blade
Takeoff max 2750rpm, 500ft ground roll, Approx 5000 ft D A
Climb @ 14-1500fpm, cruise@ 120mph indicated @ 2650rpm, 7.2gph
Future tests:
Need to get max rpm of 3300 dialed in.
Need to log economy results.
Need to install Carb economy kit( didn't want to mix results)
Need to perform 300ft takeoff runs
Conclusions so far:
I like it.
It runs smooth.
It is a little work to change pitch, but not bad.
I can't use the old Spinner.
The new spinner has a skirt that is =BD" longer than replaced spinner and I
must use extender
to clear cowling.
I was able to kill a bug with it today. I think it was a fly from a cattle
feedlot I flew over.
He must have been soaring on that familiar smell of money.
I can't tell if it's quieter.maybe a little.
After test #2, I can definately feel more power being delivered to the prop.
I think I'll save plenty on fuel bills..yeah right.
