This is a common problem. Most people I know reduce the bushing =

Hi jeff.
Brown == ground
Grey = Tach
you right on yellow and 3 yellow/ bl
- 2 for grounding
2 for regulator/rectifier.
And yes is a combination rectifier/ voltage regulator.
Schematics here http://www.ultralightnews.ca//ducati/index.html
Red off regulator is the + and should be keyed to the battery .

| Subject: | Subaru EA81, Dave Johnson redrive conversion, mount for Model |
II, III FOR SALE
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Bruce Harrison" <firestarii@hotmail.com>
I recently sold my Model III project to an owner who already had a
powerplant, so the Subaru conversion approximately 75% complete is up for
sale. This should really jumpstart anyone out there who plans to install a
Subaru conversion and can't ante up the big dollars for a complete factory
built unit.
I purchased this project as part of a Kitfox airframe that was 85%
completed. Due to job changes I was not able to complete either the airplane
or the engine. Here are the details on the engine:
Custom built, high-output EA-81 Subaru engine with Dave Johnson re-drive and
engine mount. Includes Holley single-barrel carb, some cooling system parts,
complete Stewart-Warner gauges, EGT, water temp, ammeter, others, spare oil
filter, alternator. Detailed digital pics available. Extra parts, a spare
core Subaru engine, builders manuals, documentation.
This is a loaded package for the builder who wants to fly behind an engine
assembled with great workmanship. Engine project requires some parts for
completion--estimate 75% finished.
Features:
1980 vintage engine with 40K original miles, stripped down and built back up
with cylinders bored .030 oversize, new factory pistons, performance rings,
all-new engine bearings. Crankshaft machined and polished, then balanced.
Brand new high volume oil pump for constant 60 psi cold/50 psi hot. High
performance grind camshaft, brand new cam followers. Finished engine should
develop 110 hp. Requires radiator and exhaust. Dave Johnson redrive and
powder-coated engine mount. 1.94 : 1 reduction ratio. Designed to give 2800
rpm at the prop at full throttle. SAE #1 prop hub from machined aluminum.
Contact me off-list for a full list of parts included and photos of
everything. Thanks!
The engine is listed on www.barnstormers.com with a few pictures, so check
it out. I have lots of other pictures available.

Ok, thanks for the remarks. I definately don't want the "I should have" scenario
so I will go with the application as outlined in the manual. I have already
removed a bit of bushing by sanding in a press so a little more shouldn't be
a problem. It is that alignment thing that I don't want to deal with but...
Thanks guys,
Darin

Hi Don,
I have read that one before. So what is the moral of story do you figure?
I know one thing 180 F is better than 140 in cruise.
Once i get over 10k ASL under full power it hard to maintain much over
140F .
The Blue head 582 has a bypass which might keep the engine warmer and not
subject to the sudden rush of cool coolant that comes from the rad when the
thermostat opens at 136F . I do think that most thermostats in 582s are
about 135 F so watch you gauge onstart up and you will see it go to that
area then thermostat opens and it drops to say 125 to 130 then goes up
again. I find it will do this several times on warm up. Hopefully this
gives us an indication that the gauge is fairly accuarete at that level.
Cold Seizures are bad news and alot of them can be prevented by education of
the cooliong system.
Dave

darin,
I agree with David that shimming will fix the
alignment problem. I shimmed the pedals and had to
shim the stick controls too in order to reduce bearing
binding.
You won't later regret smooth controls that you are
confident in. :-)

Dave,
I think the moral of the story is to design a cooling system that will
operate at a constant 165 degrees (< 11 deg differential) in all weather
and flight conditions. I might add that all things are possible.

Are you sure, Paul? Isn't it possible to "slosh" the tanks with West
System epoxy? If you use very little catalyser and turn the tank in all
direction long enough? My experience with West System is that, if it
gets time to do it, it will really flow everywhere, only leaving a very
thin layer of resin.
West System is a special type of epoxy, primarily designed for building
yachts in wood veneer bounded in epoxy. The very low viscosity of the
epoxy makes it to impregnate the wood and creates an extremely solid
bound.
I don't know but I think one could slosh West System epoxy. What do you
think?
Cheers,
Michel

I don't like it, as the bearing area and therefore wear area is
much smaller. Your bushings will wear much faster. Now if you really wanted
to do it right, you could replace the bushings with sealed ball bearings.
I'll bet you could find some that fit.
You must also use a castle/cotter combo on anything that rotates
directly on the bolt. (AC 43-13)

I think you're very optimistic, Michel. First of all, you can't
vary the catalyst with epoxy, but you can slightly thin some epoxies with
acetone. Saying West epoxy has low viscosity is strictly a relative term.
Yes it has lower viscosity than other epoxies but it's definitely not going
to be wicking into any pin-holes. The best you could hope for is that it
would successfully bridge the pin-holes with a thick enough layer of epoxy
to seal the tank. Unfortunately my experience with pin-holes on the outside
of overly dry laminates is that for some reason, (high surface tension
probably,) epoxy doesn't like to bridge pin-holes, rather it exacerbates
them. If you really wanted to fill pin-holes, you'd slosh with thin
cyanoacrylate. That stuff wicks like crazy. (We use it to do emergency
repairs of dinged laminates. It wicks right in and seals the damage,
preventing water ingress.) Unfortunately I don't know if it's fuel
resistant, and the fumes would probably kill you!.
On another note, the fiberglass tank industry does coat the inside
of their tanks with something. I'll try to find out what.

Guy is right! Ball bearings are the way to go for top
rated controls. Just depends upon how good you want
it.
Makes me think of John King's planes, Rick's Soob
engine (I should have bought), or a new KitFox company
in the right hands.... I am convinced there are
people here that could team up and make a flying
carpet company. "DreamFox"? Guy's controls. Don S.
for safety, Torgier for research... we got them all
here.
I can dream too..... :-)
I wonder what the Extra 300 uses? Unless you have
felt the controls on one of those, you don't know what
you are missing. Talk about smmmoooooth.... Probably
ball bearings throughout. Best I have ever felt
anyway.

Guy,
Would that stuff slosh before it hardens? I thought
even the slow stuff gets stiff fast. At least the
stuff in hobby shops.
My sloshed tanks are doing fine for now, but I expect
to have to "maintain" them sooner or later.

I never tried it. I just believe that Don's process is what would be
necessary. I believe it would be worthwhile to try it. My experience
with the West system was pretty viscous final product. I am not very
experienced with epoxy and thought one had to use the recommended
ratios when mixing.

The federal law to implement ethanol as opposed to MTBE will likely change
that, right?
As far as I understand, there won't be any MTBE left due to the
congressional mandate...

Thank you for your answers, Paul and Guy. Yes, the actual mixing of the
two components should be changed, at least, not much. My experience
with Epoxy is that temperature is also factor of hardening time. When I
moulded my cowling, I was working in a rather cool room, in my cellar.
When finished, I would move the part to a more heated room. It worked
fine.
But, to settle the matter, I wrote to West Systems and ask their
opinion. It's worth the try, isn't it? And the worse that can happen is
to get a negative answer. Of course, I'll publish their answer to the
list, as soon as received.
Cheers,
Michel

| Subject: | Re: Pedal torque tube bushings? Question? |
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: Dave and Diane <ddsyverson@comcast.net>
Darin,
I also have a model 7 and found out that everything worked out perfectly on
the rudder pedal torque tube mounting doing a couple things:
1) Inside the torque tube ends to the lenght of the bushing insertion, make
sure that there is no paint, lumps of any other kind present and that the
inside of the torque tube ends are perfectly round and smooth - I finished
off this task by putting a folded strip of 240 grit wet/dry sandpaper onto a
split dowel (cut lenghtwise with a bandsaw about an inch) then used a drill
on the dowel to polish up the inside of the torque tubes.
2) Thereafter, chuck the bushings in a drill press and work them down till
they fit the torque tubes nicely. Be sure that the bushing is worked down
evenly (no grooves or taper) - backing up a piece of fine sandpaper with a
flat stick works, also touching up with a straight cut file with the bushing
spinning works too. An inside/outside micrometer will help a person gauge how
much material is being removed so you don't go too far.
In 1) & 2) above - finish off with 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper - the finer
finish leaves much less friction.
End result - very smooth operation, close tolerances and no binding. I think
lubrication is a good idea, but primarily for corrosion prevention on the
inside of the torque tube.
The bushing is not supposed to rotate on the bolt, the torque tubes should
rotate on the bushing.

Well, I reworked the pedals and now they are smooth and rotate on the bushing.
I used a similar method to what Dave S. described. The controls are smooth but
the ball bearings would be a great addition. I think I may look into this
option as I have a bearing supply house close. A nice press fit on the bearings
with some loctite and those pedals would be like butter! Anyway, thanks for
the input...It is great to know when I have a question I can have it answered
right here from someone (a bunch of people in most cases) who has "been there,
done that". Now on to the next item of business, the rudder and then wings.

I put ball and needle bearings in my camera mount system replacing Delrin
and got a significant improvement in smoothness. One thing I noticed is
that with the delrin bushings, if the systam was left in a set position for
any time, any lubrication was squeezed out of the pivot and the first
movement was a pop or jerk then smooth movement as the lube took over.
Actually the reason for the post is the bearing source I found - good
service, any quantity and they deal with people like us - hobbyists.

A caution here on modifying the resin / catalyst ratio. Most data sheets
will give the ratios to a digit i.e. 22:100 etc. Regarding the West
Systems, because of Don's experience and recommendation, I went to the
nearby West Marine outlet and talked to one of the guys there about using
thier resin for a fuel resistant coating. He either couldn't or wouldn't
answer my question only talking about the foolishness of using epoxy / glass
for a fuel tank. Needless to say, I walked.
I am all ears to hear what Michel finds out and if it is authoritative. I
am still looking for the best fuel proof coating for my project.

One thing I have learned in this Kit building process is that, "for every
action there is a reaction" that we didn't consider or even think about. In
other words, only time will tell if I did the right thing. I might be
posting tomorrow that my tanks fell apart????

West System Epoxy is similar to maple syrup. There is no way you could
slosh a Fox Tank with this product. Messing with the castylst ratio would
only hurt the final cure of the product.

I agree but, I did not let the resin flow into any puddles for fear of it
becoming brittle without fiberglass cloth to hold it together. The existing
fiberglass tank had thousands of small indention from the cloth in the
origional mold. I only let the fresh epoxy fill those little pits (best I
could).

Never in a million years.

Lowell,
My experience say's he wouldn't respond for liability reasons or,
didn't have a clue to start with. I went to the Engineers at West (actually
some other name that evades me right now). They basically agreed with my
process that it would seal the tanks and give good adhesion to "whatever"
epoxy/polyester the tanks were made from. So far, so good.

The attached message was intended to go to Thomas Lee direct. I guess I
don't have his e-mail address but suspect he still lurks on the list.
For everyone else, Kay and I are busy getting all in order for the annual
party and hope all that can will come. It will be a good opportunity for
those that have not yet had the opportunity to meet John and Debra McBean
the new owners of Kitfox.

Model II, III FOR SALE
--> Kitfox-List message posted by: kurt schrader <smokey_bear_40220@yahoo.com>
Rick,
I am using non-synthetic Castrol 20W50. OK temps on
the last flight of around 190-195, but 40-50 psi.
More around 40. I usually see a good 50. This last
few months the pressure has dropped and been variable,
but no leaks?
I bought some aviation 100 weight (from Sams Club in
FL) to try out. Have you used this?
If it gets hotter than this flight I can not pull to
idle and keep the pressure above 30 psi. That is what
I worry most about, idle pressure for landing. I have
seen it go to 20 on rollout, so I keep the rpm up.
I know there is very little force on the bearings at
idle, but I want to keep that front bearing out of
trouble.
I wish it had roller bearings on the crank.
