Subject: | static port location on Series 6? |
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Bradley M Webb" <bmwebb@cox.net>
Interesting, and good points to consider.
Before flight, I set my altimeter to field elevation, and the Kollsman baro
setting is way off (.10 or more). But my altimeter reads very close to what
my GPS says I'm at in flight. Interestingly enough, when I fly for the Air
Force, our GPS reading is significantly off from indicated (by a couple
thousand feet). Now that you mention it, I think it is due to setting 29.92
at 18K'. Hence the GPS would be actual, and the altimeter would be relative.
The only bad point to venting to the cabin (and some mentioned this before),
is that the altimeter jumps around a little. Not much, but I wonder if
that's bad for the mechanism over the long run.

ATC gets interested if the altitude that you report differs from
your mode-c by more than 300'. That was true the last time that
I sat at a radar scope - about 4 hours ago.
Of course, if your encoder is vented to cabin static air, the
report that ATC derives will show the same thing that your
altimeter shows. That may or may not be your actual altitude
above sea level. That is an important consideration if you are
counting on ATC to keep you out of the rocks or to provide
vertical separation with other aircraft. So don't think that you
can bluff your way out of Class A or B airspace by resetting your
altimeter.
I say that "ATC derives" because encoders are basically stupid.
They send your pressure altitude to the ATC computers. I have to
set the ATC computer to the local altimeter setting just like you
would do in your Kollsman window. The ATC computer then corrects
the pressure altitude from your mode-c and displays it to the
controller as an MSL altitude (when below 18,000 in the USA).
Above 18,000 feet everybody flies at a pressure altitude (Flight
Level) by setting the altimeter to 29.92. If the local pressure
is below 29.92, some of the lowest flight levels become unusable
for separation. They will not be a true 1,000' (or more) above
17,000. I'll leave that brain teaser for you to figure out. A
little note here - the ATC computer is actually set by an array
of digital altimeter setting indicators. The local pressure
setting is updated automatically once each minute. In a large
geographic area, the computer will apply the proper correction to
your mode-c based upon the adapted altimeter region that you are
flying. If the automatic altimeter interface fails, I can set
the altimeter manually. I am required to keep the ATC computer
within .02 inches of actual local pressure.
Now there's more than you wanted to know.....

I've never bent one myself, but this is an old and very well covered topic.
One thing that you need to be careful of when you use your cheater bar is to
twist the whole gear unit, not bend the axle. With some forethought it
shouldn't be difficult to come up with something that will work.

Bradley, on the PocketFMS forum, we were currently discussing if we should have
a kind of glide slope indicator on the moving map and HSI display. Until someone
dug up a bench testing showing that aviation GPS have, at time, as much as
300 ft. altitude error readings. We immediately put the idea in the wastebin.

Guy,
When I did mine, most of the bend was in the axle. I secured the airplane
per the article in the Kitfox Times and fitted a piece of pipe over a copper
pipe spacer to protect the threads on the axle and bent. I had to shim the
brake calipers afterwords to get them to run parallel to the rotors. Others
have put a large wrench on the weldment and bent the weldment.. I believe
mine was covered at the time.
I made a jig that secured the tail to the hangar floor with anchor bolts. I
still have it and it is available to anyone interested, for shipping.

Whoa up a minute Guy. 3/4 of a degree is not much. That's practically neutral.
IMHO you'll do no more damage to your fox by waiting until you see how it handles
on the ground before reefing on those weldments. You may decide to leave it
alone.
I have about 1 degree of toe in on my model 2. I can't say it's the most forgiving
taildragger I've ever landed, but it really ain't that bad. At least not
on grass. I might change my mind this Spring when I start trying pavement.
Start on grass and skip high speed taxi tests entirely. In my experience, that
part of the envelope is no place to get acquainted with your airplane.
Got my flak jacket on, so have at me.

I like the idea. The weight is less than an O-235, and the CG of the
engine is farther back. I understand the engine is a work of art. It may
be my next Kitfox project. Some are flying and would like to hear from
them.

I guess so, Lowell. He seemed to be right on top of everything else,
but he missed the gun on that call. Incidentally, I just got back from
visiting the good people at the FAA, and got my temporary Repairmen's
Certificate, so I'm good in that respect. The FAA guy told me that
things are changing so fast that it's tough for even them to keep up,
let alone somebody that doesn't work right there in the offices. This
FAA office is right on the Willow Run Airport, where they used to make
the B-25's during the war.

It's a Garmin iQue M5 PDA with GPS, Mike. The horizontal thing is the
GPS antenna that you fold out. I use it together with the program
PocketFMS. It's my best navigation companion. It is mounted on a handy
bracket, on the panel, and when I leave the plane, I just pull it out
and put it in my pocket. At home, I connect it to my PC and do all my
flight planning.
Here is a better view of it:

Yes, I've heard that too. But was that when the U.S. Military degraded the
GPS signal? It's no longer degraded, and should be within 10 meters (?)
accuracy, IIRC.
Based on the way GPS works, that error is in all 3 dimensions, not just
altitude. GPS doesn't know or care which dimension you're in.

Bradley, on the PocketFMS forum, we were currently discussing if we should
have a kind of glide slope indicator on the moving map and HSI display.
Until someone dug up a bench testing showing that aviation GPS have, at
time, as much as 300 ft. altitude error readings. We immediately put the
idea in the wastebin.
Cheers,

All,
Have been following the toe in /out thing and when I built my 4 I had tube
gear and I used the cheater pipe over the axle method to set my gear angle,
it did not take much to get there, I do not remember how much it was out,
not much as I recall, but I set them slightly out and vertical, no regrets,
landed on everything with it. My 2-Cents worth, and starting on grass is a
good idea, but if your track is off it will be a different ride on the
pavement.

Saw the Rotec display at Airventure 2005. It's a work of art and would look great
hanging from a Kitfox, round cowl and all (tho it probably won't fit in the
round cowl we're accustomed to).

I like the idea. The weight is less than an O-235, and the CG of the
engine is farther back. I understand the engine is a work of art. It may
be my next Kitfox project. Some are flying and would like to hear from
them.

Thanks Marco, Bill and the rest who replied. I think Marco's right,
especially since I don't intend to do the first flight, but to let an
experienced Kitfox flyer do it. If they think it squirrelly, it won't take
long to alter. Later I can ground loop it myself! =-O

This picture makes it look just a little more interesting than it really is.
It is about 2000 feet to the water which marks the beginning of the runway.
Bit it is uphill, into a mountain, narrow, has trees to dive over on approach
and the snow makes it slippery. The worst part is taxiing up the crowned runway
and no visibility over the nose.
My friend flies his Beech Bonanza into it easily. But he is the only pilot that
does fly in easily.

I'd assumed the photo on the home page of http://www.sportplanellc.com/
