The particle that your D cell instrument launches has zero mass, so it all works out. The impossibility that was referenced by the great man was when the particle has non zero mass, or to state it more simply if it has mass, then the energy required to move it at the speed of light becomes infinite.

Duane Rueb From: owner-kitfox-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-kitfox-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of kurt schrader Sent: Monday, April 10, 2006 9:47 PM Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: off topic - Date time note --> Kitfox-List message posted by: kurt schrader Since you are all filling time and space.... consider this: Einstein figured that as you approach the speed of light, time slows down. At the speed of light, time stops. Therefore a light beam travels its complete distance, even if all the way across the universe, in no time, ie, from the light's point of view, it is everywhere at once. Kinda' God-like. Or, "Let there be light" wasn't too far off of being very important to our understanding of the universe. We should consider more about what the universe looks like at the speed of light to get a better understanding in my opinion. Einstein also figured that the amount of energy needed to approach the speed of light goes up dramatically and reaches infinity at light speed. To go faster would require infinite energy, plus a little more. The again, my double D flashlight doesn't have that much of a kick when I turn it on, so there may be some loopholes in the theory?

Engine turned ok, but maybe a little slow. Would not start. Bought a new battery and BINGO engine starts every time. I really appreciate all that replied and I learned once again that you gotta have a good battery in the Rotax. Thanks again to all. Jimmie kitfoxmike wrote: --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "kitfoxmike" When starting my engine I always had trouble with the carb on the right side falling off. Since I've gone to this way of starting, I haven't had no trouble with the carb and it starts with no troubles. I agree with the engine heat, but I can start mine down to 25 degrees f. Without any trouble. what I do is first, turn the prop over at least once to make sure that it isn't hydrolic locked. Second, make sure you have a choke hooked up for both carbs. Now this is very important, keep the mags OFF, and crank the engine to a count of 11 if it's colder than 35, about a count of 8 if it's warmer than35, and normal starting in the summer a count of 4(the counts are about 1 second intervals). Also make sure the throttle is as closed off as possible, grab the control and pull on it to make sure, lock it in place. Next, wait a few seconds and turn the mags on, push the throttle in slightly to have an Rpm of 2000 to 2200(questimate) Lock the throttle down good, and start the eng! ine, be ready on the choke(that's why you lock down the throttle), if the engine is a little rough, quickly pull out the choke, as soon as it smooths out release the choke. Also very important to have a good battery, mine is an oddesy. Also make sure the carbs are good and clean and adjusted proper. -------- kitfoxmike kitfox4 1200 912ul speedster http://www.frappr.com/kitfoxmike Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=27327#27327 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 08:27:54 AM PST US From: Alan & Linda Daniels Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: off topic - Date time note --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Alan & Linda Daniels WOW this is getting heavy.

From the suggestions, it looks like it will be sevaral days long and unfortunately that will be out of my time budget. The Cameron Park fly-in is a one day affair and in seven years I have never even found time to count the airplanes. For me the opportunity to place faces with names and see some of the airplanes is enough. Maybe I,m just getting old, but just sitting around and talking is usually excitement enough for me. I do hope to be there if everything comes together here.

I cant be sure that something didn't come out of rig that long on the trailer but i'm assuming the airplane still flies as given. If so...don't change a thing. Adjusting the flap lever ..pulling it up will lower your pitch. You will find that it also will increase lift...and therefore isn't the best trim system anyones ever come up with. However, You shouldn't be feeling any "extreme" pressures on the stick. Flying with your fingertips and a little forward pressure though might be needed at higher end cruise speeds. At approach speed you'll have to hold the nose up with backpressure...standard for a fox3 as in the flying manual. about the roll...remember that the earlier kitfoxes are closer to neutral stability and need more rudder coordination than certifieds. That took me a little to get comfortable with...especially with a round cowling. You'll see that things will stay level with the rudder coordinated. If you get together with some other foxers you'll see a lot of folks flying wing low. Check out the ball, airspeed, pitch and flap lever first. Its not going to feel like a 182 but you shouldn't be using more than light pressures to correct. If not then best to have a look and see if something is bent.
