What!? You have to pay 6%/year just to own your airplane? Yikes. My state (SC)
has a personal property tax but it never occured to me that it might cover airplanes.
I'll sell the damn thing and switch to an ultralight before I pay them
6% though.

Bob,
If it is a .doc file then your best choice might be to compress it
using something like WinZip.
www.winzip.com
I think generally the term "resized" is reserved for image files and
"compressed" is used for most other file types. The "zipped" file will
result in about 1/3 the original size after compression and will require
the recipient to have WinZip or another compatible utility to open it
unless it is made into a self extracting file. The self extracting file
is a little larger than 1/3rd the original and does not require any
program to open it. Whichever you think is best for your needs.
If you want to do it yourself you can try it out for free OR if you
prefer send the file to me and I'll compress it for you. I could also
make it available as a link so that interested folks can download it
however they like and it wouldn't cause any problems for us dial-up
users. Currently I'm using a high speed connection or I would hesitate
offering my help.
Note for all: JPEG files (photos) at any resolution are already about as
small as they can get. WinZip can not make them smaller so don't bother
trying. However, for simple viewing purposes all photos should be
resized using a photo editing program and MicroSoft Image Resizer is
great for this purpose. Here's a link to get it:

Wingnut,
The sales and use tax is a one time deal in Utah and many other states. Utah happens
to be at 6% to 6.5% depending on the county in which the airplane is registered.
Property tax however, is a yearly deal and it also depends on the county
where the airplane is registered. Where I live it is .04%, so a fox will
cost around $75 to $100 per year to register with the state...more than I want
to pay but not that bad. The sales tax thing kinda sucks though since many
surrounding states such as Montana and Nevada don't have sales tax at all.

Michigan annual registration tax is 1 percent of the gross weight or $15.50
for a model 5 with 1550 gross. This pays for the little sticker they make
you stick on the tail. I don't mind paying it, but good things never seem
to last very long.
Sales and use tax is one time payment of 6 percent of whatever you tell them
the airplane is worth.

South Carolina will put tears in your eyes when you find out how they val
ue
your plane and if the city that you live in has a city tax, like Summervi
lle
does, they want that too. When I licensed my Kitfox the Auditors Office
called and wanted a value because they had no book, (They raped me with t
he
book on my Bonanza.) I told them it had no value because the legal
definition of value is what a willing buyer and seller will exchange an
item for and I wasn't ever planning on selling because of liability issue
s.
We batted all that around for a bit and of course we all know that's a
losing battle, but I ended it with the statement that I realize that
everybody needs to pay their fair share, but if you get carried away, I'l
l
put both of them in a Delaware Corporqation and you'll never see a cent.
Well, when trhe tax notices came out they wanted $1700 a year for my 1957
H35 Bonanza and about $950 for the Kitfox. That was 1995 and I have since
paid about $150 a year for taxes and administration charges for a Delawar
e
Corporation which now owns both planes with A Dover, Delaware address, an
d I
own the Corporation. It only cost about $300 to set up the Corporation.

Now there's the right answer. It's unbelievable to me that I should pay $950/year
in taxes for the privilege of owning a toy that I park in my back yard and
never touches a state road.
Glad I misunderstood the original post in this thread.

Jimmie,
I posted a question and an idea to the list a while
back concerning the 912 carbs shaking off but got
little feedback. I had the idea of making a pair of
brackets that would bolt to the top of the cylinder
heads on each side that go rearward bending under the
carb bowl and back up to a ring that would support the
back of the carburetor. These brackets would bolt to
the spare threaded hole on the top of each cylinder
head. As far as I can tell, there is nothing that this
threaded hole will be used for on my Classic IV (still
building). For as little weight as they would add, it
would sure give me piece of mind that the carbs arent
going to fall off after takeoff. I still plan on
using Clint Bazzills method of startup and shutdown.
Has anyone else thought of doing this or has done
this?

I am looking for the firewall dimensions of the Kitfox series 5, 6, or
7. I would like to determine if the Lycoming cowling for the later
Kitfox will come somewhat close to being able to work on my Highlander
that I am currently building. I am looking into installing a 125 HP
Franklin 4A-235 engine and will need a wider cowling than the one
supplied with my kit. I have tried contacting the new Kitfox owners, but
so far, have not had success with a return message from them concerning
the information that I am looking for. Any help and information would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Grant,
Stick with the orignal design of the Rotax. Something else is going on. Is
your prop properly balanced and pitched? Are you using the latest sockets
(check the part numbers)? Have you talked to a Rotax tech? Jeff Classic IV

I can confirm it is true on my S-5 for over 50% flaps
and FWD CG. I run out of trim at around 60 knots and
no flaps. Still can get enough elevator until 1/2
flaps. After that it is difficult to get the tail
down with FWD CG. Just never saw it in a note before.

Hummm. Didn't have it in my older copy I guess or I

I've been seeing a lot of posts about carbs popping out. I had this problem
early on with my 912S. Here are some of the things I did to cure it.
1 Look on the sportflight site I posted some pics on how I setup my carb
springs (lower springs from hardware store)
2 Had slipper clutch installed by Lockwood.
3 Rough up carb inlet where they fit into sockets with scotchbrite.
4 Clean carb socket with acetone.
5 Don't over tighten the clamp I used washers for the 7mm gap.
6 Make sure your carbs are in sync I used a synchromate 2 I got from Bing
Agency you can contact them at 800-309-5808 much better than the dual vacuum
gauges also has a built in tach.
7 Use Clint's start procedure here is how I do it. He may correct me.
1 Don't use a primer close the throttle and crank 10 seconds with mags off
(you must have switches separate from the start switch) holding the
enrichiner out to prime.
2 Set throttle to a spot you know will idle 2000 and turn on mags and
start. If the engine does not start right up STOP and prime again or clear
flood by mags off throttle open and crank.
Also after your engine breaks in you will notice much improvement. You can
contact me at 610-564-0803 with any questions I will be happy to help. I
have not lost a carb in 225 hrs.

When KY tax people tried to say my old van was worth
$6000 and I said it was worth $4000, I found a
solution. I offered it to the tax lady for $5000 and
said then we could both make $1000 on it, if she was
right.... No sale. She lowered the value to $4000.
Ask the tax assesser what they would be willing to pay
you for your "home built" plane and see what happens.
Sales tax is probably going to be based upon what you
paid for the parts, but market value after that is a
point to argue.

Looking at the Pic it appears the right wing strut was flexed if not bent in
the incident judging by the condition of the fairing material and the jury
strut, I would ask if it was replaced or just straightened, If straightened
I would strongly consider replacing it (hard to know what they look like
under the fairing material). You will want to inspect the heim joints at the
outboard end of all the wing strut attach points for bending / stress. I
would be looking for dented or kinked tubing anywhere on the fuselage
especially where the tail section intersects the fuselage lattice, and the
top and bottom where the main longeron stringers intersect the large cluster
weld at the base of the baggage compartment area. The aft vertical tube in
the vertical fin is square tube and kinks very easily compared to round
tube, seeing it landed on it's tail I would be looking. Ask to remove the
seat, inspection panels, baggage bag, wing tips or anything else that will
afford you a good look inside the fabric. Take an eyeball down the aft
fuselage longerons, they should have a nice symmetrical bow in 2 directions
on the bottoms and in one on the tops, either way they should be symmetrical
and even from side to side, if not I would look a little deeper. Also be
looking at the motor mount and the tubing inboard of the firewall in that
area. All can be fixed but it takes time & money, I am rebuilding a 5 that
was ground looped, I will have 1 year into it this fall. Good luck

Jeff,
Thanks for your reply. My Classic IV is not flying
yet but I'm trying to plan ahead. With all of the
reports of carbs falling off, it will probably happen
to me too until I get everything fine tuned. What I
was planning on doing was making a simple bracket for
each side that would fasten to the clamp at the air
filters so the carb couldn't wiggle up and down in the
socket. I agree with you about sticking to original
designs. I feel that one of the main reasons people
have trouble losing the carbs is due to the swapped
manifolds not being a Rotax design. It's really too
bad that the engine mount requires the manifold
relocation. I have shortened my engine mount bushings
to the Skystar recommended length so hopefully that
should help. Also, the engine is new enough that it
came from the factory with the slipper clutch.
