Thanks for the recommendation to use Pennzoil, I have not seen it in the UK, so
I will make enquiries, does anyone know if its mineral based or synthetic?

Pennzoil for "AIR" cooled engines is widely used in the 582 and recommended

I had no problem to find Pennzoil in my little Norwegian town, Michael, so I think
you should find it also in the UK. I used full synthetic. It more expensive
but it should be better. The only drawback is that the oil, if the engine won't
run for a few weeks, will slide down the walls of the engine and will stop
protecting it from rust. But ... who doesn't want to fly for weeks? :-)
Note: I have now a Jabiru on my Kitfox but I have found memories of my 582. But
I am very, very happy with the Jabiru.
Cheers,
Michel

I order my oil from this web site. It's normally cheaper and they deliver
fast. Look under the aviation oils and you will find the Pennzoil air
cooled. There is also a document in there that shows testing results on
the Rotax engine. It's located at the bottom of the page for Pennzoil air
cooled oil. Don't know how it would be getting the oil shipped to the UK.
You might go to the Pennzoil web site to find locations in the UK.

Hi Kirk,
I got my tailwheel endorsement in a IV/Soob and fly a
V/Soob now. I dont remember all the speeds for the
IV perfectly, but you already have some good advice
there: Add a little to the book speeds initially and
use lots of runway too. I've added 5 to all except
the landing and stalls for you as I remember them.
You can take that out when your testing shows better,
or use what you feel prudent.
I'll fill in below for you as best as I know. Expect
some float for landing with the speed buffer. Do your
stalls when comfortable to know the speeds better with
your indicator.
My FAA inspector told me to angle, then climb adjacent
to the runway so that I can turn back to the runway
next to me rather than under and behind me, if I need
to. If your airport terrain allows that, you should
consider it too.
Be careful to use a near center CG initially so that
you have the best elevator authority available.

| Subject: | exhaust pipe cracking |
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: Bob Holiday <moto123@sbcglobal.net>
Hello list
This is my first posting since joining last fall.
I purchased a used kitfox V and have just now started flying it.
I am having problems with the lower exhaust pipes cracking after only a few hours
of operation. The airplane has 270 hrs on it of which I have put on 35 hrs.
The engine is a NSI 118 HP (the Japanese truck motor) unit with the CAP prop.
The exhaust system is the stock SS unit that came from NSI. The cracking is
in the lower pipes just above the exit from the cowl. Does anyone have any ideas
for an alternative exhaust system from a good reliable provider? Or an alternative
fix other than having the thing welded every 20 hrs? Am I running it
too lean? Would that cause the cracking? The plugs are brown.
Thanks much

No one has yet purchased "Kitfox". Offers have been submitted for
SkyStar's assets but it is the bankruptcy court that will ultimately
determine who gets what and when they will get it.

Thank you for the clarification. It struck me as premature for
the court to be awarding a bid at this time, but It was being said by
some (I don't recall who all) on our list that this had happened, so I
went along with the news, even though it really didn't seem possible to
be a 'done deal' yet.
Like you and many others, I do hope for a good outcome.

I can't say what the fix is other than having it welded, but I've had an
identical problem with my 100 hp EA81 from NSI. The fellow who welded it
(both times) seemed to think it might be due to sudden cooling. Certainly I
can't see where there's any stress whatsoever on the pipes.

Deke,
I haven't ordered any lately but their price (including shipping) used
to be better than any thing else we could find. The Rich Man used to order
his Helo oil from there. In order to see the shipping price, you have to
follow through with the on line order to the end. You get a chance to see
the total cost before you actually "send" the order request (I think??).

| Subject: | Rudder Cable Mk7 |
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "David Steade" <steade@btinternet.com>
Hi Everyone
Can anyone give me some guidance on the attachment of the rudder cables on a Mk7
that I am building in the UK.
I have found that the hole in the rudder horn only clears the fibreglass speed
fairing on the front of the rudder by about 5/8". This means that when the full
25 Degrees deflection is used the cable attachment link on the cable that is
not in tension ( e.g. the right hand cable on full left rudder for example) rests
against the speed fairing.
I assume all Mk7 with the speed fairing kit must be the same. I am interested to
know if anyone else has noticed this and if so is there wear on the speedfairing
in use.
Any information would be appreciated.
Regards
David Steade

Hi David,
I don't have the speed fairing on mine, but do know
that this problem should be fixed and some have
already done it. I would worry about the cable ends
catching on something and jamming the rudder as well
as the wear you mentioned.
I think some people have mounted strong extensions on
those rudder horns to clear the cables and others have
notched the fairing. Maybe someone else can clairify
this?

Great Kirk,
Don't fly it until the plane and you are ready. Those
first flights are usually done in a mental fog if you
are not ready for it. Or maybe I am foggy all the
time? :-)
Then once you got the feel it is hard to see over your

I think O'Reillys have some wisconsin stores now and they stock it in some
of the midwestern warehouses and will ship to any store outside your regular
warehouse supplier, but may take 1 to 2 days more. Priced at around $30.

David, this is out of my cerification construction summary. I don't notice
any adverse effect when flying and I didn't like the SS fix of adding a wear
plate where the cable hits the fuse.
Tried to put a shot on Sport Flight but locked out at the moment John A.
2. Rudder Control Horns Extension. Due to the extra width of the Speedster
Vertical Tail Modification, the rudder cables were found to be fouling on
the side of the fuselage. Two rudder-horn extensions were fabricated out of
3mm chromium-molybdenum 4130 sheet steel and fixed with two AN4 bolts per
side. Horns are designed in such a way so as to maintain the original lever
arm.

Hi, I had the same problem after I returned from Oshkosh last year, mine cracked
at the same point! I had the support mod from SS but the exit port was to long
because I had an extension on that end. I cut the extension shorter and have
not had any problems since! make sure yours is not too long, and you might
need to install the added support bracket.

--> Kitfox-List message posted by: Bob Holiday <moto123@sbcglobal.net<mailto:moto123@sbcglobal.net>>
Hello list
This is my first posting since joining last fall.
I purchased a used kitfox V and have just now started flying it.
I am having problems with the lower exhaust pipes cracking after only a few
hours of operation. The airplane has 270 hrs on it of which I have put on 35
hrs. The engine is a NSI 118 HP (the Japanese truck motor) unit with the CAP prop.
The exhaust system is the stock SS unit that came from NSI. The cracking
is in the lower pipes just above the exit from the cowl. Does anyone have any
ideas for an alternative exhaust system from a good reliable provider? Or an alternative
fix other than having the thing welded every 20 hrs? Am I running it
too lean? Would that cause the cracking? The plugs are brown.
Thanks much
Bob Holliday

Up, up, and away....
I'd like to say that I flew my baby today, but that day will soon come.
What I can say is that my baby took her first flight today, and it was
a thing of beauty to behold. A couple hundred feet takeoff roll and it
was rising at a steeper angle than I would have thought possible. That
Jabiru power sounded awfully good after all these 19 months of steady
work. The test pilot suggested dropping the hort. stab. to the lower
hole, and lowering the idle speed as it floated a bit on landing. He
reported stall speeds of 45...clean, 40...10 flaps, and 35 for full
20 flaps...all in mph increments. So the first flight is in the books,
all 1.5 hours of it, and I couldn't be happier...well, only if I could
have taken the flight myself, that is. But in a few weeks, months,
whatever, I'll be doing just that. But for now I can add to the list of
people who say that these are one sweet flying machine.
He reported it stalled straight ahead and flew hands off despite slight
winds aloft. This guy is an airline pilot who has flown "nearly
everything" and this was his first flight in a Kitfox...something he
had always wanted to do, and that mission was accomplished today.
Another great day for flight.

Glad to hear it Lynn! You get two proud moments. One now and another the
day you fly her. It's like hearing a relative had a new kid. Congrads. Ron
