| Subject: | S7 Kit Parts List |
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "darinh" <gerns25@netscape.net>
Does anyone have (or have access to) a standard parts list for a S7 Quickbuild
kit and could send me a copy either in the mail, by fax, or email? I am purchasing
a complete kit (at least advertised as complete) minus firewall forward.
I just would like to look at a standard packing slip or even an order form to
verify that all major parts are there that came with the kit. It does have
a cowling for the 912S but no mount. Anyone that could help out would be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks,
Darin

--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Peter Graichen" <n10pg@neo.rr.com>
Hello NSI Subaru Drivers:
You may recall my e-mail post of 17 Feb. 06, in which I advised that subject
ignition isolation units are no longer available from NSI. Since then I have
been unable to find anybody that could make such a unit.
Therefore I was forced to research and develop such a unit on my own. The
attached picture shows the result. Dimensionally my unit is identical to
NSI's. I use the same plastics and composits as used by NSI. The brass posts
in my unit are Mil-spec Nickel-Tin plated for corrosion resistance and
improved conductivity. My unit also has a composit bottom plate for better
isolation of the internal high voltage electrical components from the
grounded metal mounting plate. I have made two units and installed them in
N10PG. They perform flawlessly. It may be of interest that each unit
consists of 24 purchased components plus 15 machined components.
I am prepared to manufacture one batch of additional units at a cost of $
450.00 each. Please let me know via e-mail by no later than 30 April '06 if
you want me to build one or more units for you
Please keep in mind that there is no alternative to having two properly
functioning ignition isolation modules when flying the NSI Subaru with two
independent electronic ignition systems. My experience to date: I have
replaced four failed NSI-manufactured isolation units in 1,000 hrs of
operation in N10PG.

I wanted any group members to have the first opportunity at buying my
Model IV-1200 Firewall Back Kit. The demands of my new job position
requires a redirection of my time. I will entertain all offers from the
group. I recognize that these kits sell drastically below Skystar's
original prices.
I have everything Skystar included plus many additional items I've
collected. Please give me a call at (559) 905-3811. I am located in
Central California.
Thank you,
Matt

Peter,
As you have discovered, the isolation units are the weak single point
failure in the dual ignition system. I wish there was a better way. I have
not heard of anyone having a failure of any other part of the ignition.
By the way, is that $450 for the set?

--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Randy Daughenbaugh" <rjdaugh@rapidnet.com>
Rex may be talking about me. I used the ultimate door on my hangar and am
real happy with it. It don't know what could be better if I had spent
several thousand more dollars on a door.
It does take some time to build. The materials that I used make it good for
a 90 mph wind. I used translucent plastic to skin it. It does let some
light in. - Plenty of light. I don't have electricity up on the field
where the hangar is so I have a hand crank. It takes 10 seconds to raise it
or lower it.
Directions are good. Kit is complete as far as hardware except for winch
which can be had at local hardware store. If you can build a fox, this is
child's play!
I could maybe post some pictures if desired.
Randy

I don't have complete information for you, however I have done some
research. There is a company named The Ultimate Door, Inc. which can supply
a kit. There is at least 1 person on this list which has a door from them
and stated he was very happy with it.
http://ultimatedoor.homestead.com/ultimate.html
Theirs is a single panel door and I perferred a bi-fold. Like you I'm
resistant to spend $3K for a garage door, but my garage would benefit from
the bi-fold features more than any other design. I figured that if I could
build a kit plane how much trouble could it be to design and build a garage
door? ( I don't know the answer quite yet :) )
I'm planning on building my own home made Bi-fold door for my garage door
opening which is 16 X 8 feet. I haven't had time to complete the concept,
but I was thinking of using 1" square tubing as the basis for the 2 frames
and 2 wall polycarbonate to skin the frames.
Hey, I just noticed as I was writing this on the forum page that Dee
mentioned a friend who duplicated a Schwiess door. Maybe he could get some
details?

Just got the Bilmar floats mounted to the Series 6.
The floats are parallel to the center line of the
fuselege, but offset 1/2" to the left. I suspect I
need to correct the offset, but wanted to see if the
more experienced float installers agree.
