Trying to make a radiator that is to small work is always going to be a problem.
If you want to deal with the heat issue for the rest of your life, just keep
putting in WatterWetter and tweaking ratios and the like.
When you get tired of all the *#&$! get a bigger radiator and be done with it.
Slightly more drag: Costs a few knots.
Not having heat problems anymore: Priceless

The mount itself is nice, but the cable control system is horrible. The use of
electric servos would have made the system much lighter, less drag, and would
have been 100 times easier to install without the need to cut holes in the plane.

Hey Michel,
Would you please post the Make and Model of your tires along with the
diameter and width when you know it?
I'm currently using trailer tires on the ATV rims because they do fit my
wheel pants. However they tend to dig in esp. on asphalt.
I would like to find a round profile tire that would fit my application.
Those pants measure about 10.5" width inside so the larger balloon tires
won't fit.
Thanks in advance,
Mark Napier

Thanks Lowell and Noel. I have now decided to go for some "local"
tyres
that are from Taiwan, same diameter but less width, smooth, round
shoulder and 6 plys. At least they should fit my skis.
Cheers,
Michel

My temps were running close to 200 on climb out in the spring so I
bought the larger radiator.
What I found out was that the old radiator must be partially clogged
even after having it cleaned by a shop.
The new radiator wouldn't let my temps get over 140. They dropped
drastically during decent so I landed w/o increasing power for fear of
cold seizure.
So now I'm running it in the middle of a hot summer with two big strips
of aluminum tape blocking off some of the radiator. My temps are just
over 180 on climb out and about 160 in cruise.
I want to try to mount the radiator up in the cowling with some kind of
flap for control. Now that I have excess cooling capacity that project
looks like it would work. Maybe something very similar to the KF II
radiator on SportFlight.
FWIW,

Mark,
Give me a holler, and I'll help you out on that. That mod was a success,
even though the 582 broke before I could play some more.
One issue I had yet to tackle: spend mucho effort keeping the heat in the
muffler, and out of the airflow. You can't cool a radiator using 250 degree
air. Other than that, it worked great.
The best part was having it all out of sight.

That's great. But right on page 2, the "Supernova" strobe system is the
exact same system that is sold to EMS outfits, for less than half the price.
Check Ebay.
And even then you have to come up with your own covers. Been there, done
that.
Watch out for "good" deals.

I'm a catalogue junkie and if I can download them and save them so much the
better. I was looking for a good wiring diagram for the Kitfox and came
across this catalogue from a company called Skystuff if anyone is
interested.

Thank you, Deke...I'm free of the tether regarding miles, just need to
fly again Sat with my instructor (he loves the plane so much, I'm
liable to have to cut HIM loose!)...and I'm surely going to schedule a
flight up to Mikado soon. I'm hoping to get the CFI's blessing for a
solo trip up to Howell (OZW) this Sun. for a b'fast fly-in there. This
CFI has an airline (AA) job that takes him out-of-town frequently, and
unfortunately he left the day after I soloed...think I'm not chompin'
at the bit?? But I'm respecting his wishes that I let him observe me
for a few more days before cutting me loose entirely. If I had a
less-caring CFI, he'd have let me go sooner, I'm sure, and I could have
screwed it up as a result. It ain't Allstate, but I think I'm in "good
hands."

When I download the catalog all the pages after page 8 have some of the top
and bottom of the pages cut off. I seems like these are in landscape mode.
Do you have the same problem?

I have a Avid MKIV and I need a throttle cable.
Where do I purchase one that is this short, about 2 feet?
Thanks
