    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Mark.Summers@lwbref.com Does anyone have any suggestions of how long to make bungee's for a KF 2 the cord I purchased from Spruce is 3/8" the old worn out cord on my plane was only wrapped 4 times and was worn out {stretched}. also any suggestions as to how large to make the safety cable loop as to not let the bungee's bottom out against it, if this makes sense. Thanks Mark

    Subject: FAA needs our comments re: LSA rule change by 1/24!
    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Paul Seehafer" <av8rps@tznet.com> Hey Gang, the FAA is asking us to submit comments on adding amphibians to the Light Sport Aircraft Rule. This has been a long time coming, and we desperately need support. I realize not everyone cares about flying an amphibious Light Sport Aircraft. But there are many that do. And many of these people are highly experienced amphibian pilots that are getting older and their medicals are costing them a small fortune to maintain. Plus, there are lots of others that just want to be able to have the option should they decide to ever use it. Did you know you can fly an ultralight that is amphibious with zero training? But a 10,000 hour certified pilot that has been flying amphibs his whole life can't operate a LSA as an amphib if he opts to fly LSA's without a medical. Something wrong with that picture. But now's our opportunity to try and make things right with the FAA. But they need to hear from us by 1/24! Please read below for the details on how to submit your comment to the proposed FAA rule change. And thanks in advance for your support! Paul Seehafer (from the internet talk show, ULTRAFLIGHT RADIO;) Dan Defelici, Sport Aircraft Works Dan Defelici joins us to talk about a Notice for Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that will permit the Czech Aircraft Works to be issued a special airworthiness certificate in the light-sport category for the Mermaid aircraft. This is significant because the Mermaid aircraft is an amphibious aircraft equipped with landing gear that can be retracted and extended while in flight. This has been a problem with the Light Sport Aircraft rules because of the language pertaining to amphibs. This NPRM has a very short fuse since the comment period ends on January 24, 2006. This is a chance for the sport aviation community to come together to help change the rules for the better. Sport Aircraft Works (And from the Czech Aircraft Works Website) The FAA has told us they are writing a new NPRM to fix some ambiguities and errors in the LSA rule. They plan to correct their error with the amphibious gear issue by allowing retractable gear in amphibs as they originally intended. This is excellent news but could take months. Chip Erwin, the director of Czech Aircraft Works, has written a petition to the FAA to allow LSA certification of the Mermaid now. The FAA has accepted and puiblished this petition. They are now asking for comments. This is your chance to be heard where it can really count. The comment period ENDS 24 JANUARY 2006. So please send you comments in ASAP. The FAA will make their decision shortly after the comment period ends. The FAA likes to hear things like why this is in the public interest, why it is important to the industry, and in the interest of safety. Statements made with substants count the most. (Keep them short or summarize your opinion in first few lines.) To read the petition and to submit your comments go to http://dms.dot.gov/submit/dspSubmission.cfm follow the instructions for submitting comments on the electronic docket site. Or fax to 1-202-493-2251. Refer to Docket No: FAA-2005-23030 Operating administration: FAA Docket existence: Does Exist Document title: Czech Aircraft Works - Exemption/Rulemaking Thank you for your support.

The fifth one, DSC00061 JPG shows a 0-200 engine without a propeller extension. The cowling appears to be from a C-150 or maybe a Champ. Is anyone familiar with this type of instillation? I want to do this on my Kitfox series 5. I tried the e-mail address but it is no longer valid. I ran the N number but it comes up a different airplane. Any info. would be appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to look. Jim

    Subject: Re: Kitfox-94VC 12/24 Crash
    From: David Estapa <davestapa@juno.com>
    --> Kitfox-List message posted by: David Estapa <davestapa@juno.com> Deke, the aircraft was built by a former list member. N94VC was a short wing speedster Model IV with a 912 80 HP. Vic Syracuse built the airplane. It was a common site around metro Atlanta until March 2005 when it was sold. It also was at Osh and SNF often. It has flown many Young Eagles. Vic did mild aerbatics (loops and rolls in it). But I believe always solo.I visited Vic several times to look over the plane when I was installing my engine. I was a beautiful example of a Kitfox and a shame it crashed-but even bigger shame that two young men lost their lives. Vic went on to build a RV6 and now is flying one of the first customer built RV10s.
