My CHT's run at around 298 F at cruise during summer, so if you have more fin area you must have great temps. As mine is a tail dragger my oil level is pretty difficult to set so I have been gradually increasing to get a reading mid way between the high and low mark on the stick. On the weekend I went for a flight and it emptied about a pint of oil into the overflow canister and the belly of my plane. I ended up dumping all of the oil and refilling it with correct capacity but it hardly registers on the dip stock when standing "3 point". I checked with the Jab dealer in Canada and he said that this is a common occurrence if you overfill the oil. Just when I had become really confident in the engine. Oh well Gary Algate Classic 4 Jab2200 re --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Lynn Matteson Wow, Gary, I was just looking at the heads on your engine, and noticed how much more fin area I have around the exhaust pipe. Mine is the newer engine, with larger heads, but I never realized how MUCH larger 'til I saw your engine. I had never seen a picture of the earlier engine 'til now.

Subject: Kitfox-List: engine type --> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Dave G." Lowells list has several types of engines. Some are quite heavy and started me wondering. I have a 582 currently on the front of my Model IV 1050 and I do intend to use it when the wings are done, but it will have to be rebuilt. I was offerred a good deal on a C-85 and simply didn't think too much about it as it is much heavier than the stock engine or even a 912. What range of engine weight is appropriate for my model. The original Denney plans don't offer any advice. I doubt I'd put a C-85 on anyway, but I'd like to know. ________________________________ Message 17 ____________________________________ Time: 08:48:49 AM PST US From: Bob Holiday Subject: Kitfox-List: owner list Bob Holliday Kitfox V TD EA81 NSI 310 HRS ________________________________ Message 18 ____________________________________ Time: 09:04:53 AM PST US From: Guy Buchanan Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: Re: Type of Aircraft --> Kitfox-List message posted by: Guy Buchanan At 01:57 PM 9/4/2006, you wrote: >What kind of fuel burn # ( GPH ) do you get?

The gas wold drip out the rear carb. I too checked the needle vavles etc and took them out and blew them out and the fuel lines. The solution was to disconnect the primer and then it was fixed. I have an enricher that I have used for the last 80 hours in three months with out a hitch. But I will put a new primer in next time I do a service as the primer is the best way to start in colder weather which is just around the corner. FYI the enricher is not a choke as many do refer it too. I would like to add that I just added another prop to my collection and am using WARP 68 : 3 blade on a 3 to 1 E box . Works pretty well so far .

Rex, I am still skeptical. When on the ground, engine off - just sitting there - have a friend lift one wing tip 3.5 inches. This is easy to do. Note the difference.

Are there really Fox drivers out there that are so good that they can tell if one wing tip is 7" higher than the other? With the plane on a level surface (hangar floor?) this is easy too determine, but try it out on a sorta level field. You need a good level to tell. I would think one can easilly detect 7'' out of level in flight by looking out under one wing then the other to the horizon. My instructor taught me this way back. When I fly, I just use the ball for an immediate indication of how level I have the wings. The ball can be centred without being level in flight. It may act as a level on the groung and stationary. Take for example if you are making a co-ordinated turn. The ball is in the centre but the wings aren't level.

On a calm gradual descent I can fly hands off for long periods. I mention this, because it gives me reason to believe my wings are trimmed correctly, but at cruise, I need a tad of right rudder to maintain heading. While coming home from our last cross country, We flew two legs of about 3 hours each and during that time, I worked on my coodinated flight with a little right rudder and trying to keep the ball centered and watching the wingtips relative to the horizon. Either I am losing it as a pilot or just losing it, but I have a real challenge trying to fly with the wings level. I am strongly motivated to do something with the rudder trim and see if that is my problem. When we fly the highways or the rivers, no problemo, as we are in turns almost continuously, but a GPS heading for hours at a time - I need some work.

This is where I have flown for 140 hours on the plane...with the obvious oil changes of course. I get some oil collecting in the canister, but have not measured it. I have dumped it when it gets about halfway full, which has happened a couple of times. Mine is a taildragger too, and my installation instructions said to re-calibrate the stick for 'draggin'. My CHT's have always been under the max...I have an EIS so I just set the top end parameters and let it go at that. Trying to recall any high end temps...just can't recall the particular numbers...too many other things to keep track of, as I'm still learning to fly and that keeps my attention for the most part. But I'll make it a point to record some numbers tomorrow....never over 300 F, that's for sure. Go to Pete's (or Andy's I think) website and look at the engine pictures there, and you'll see how much fin they added around the exhaust pipe area, and maybe some on top too. Probably better temps with the larger/newer heads, but the Economy Tuning (lean burn) added some temperature, I'm sure...it sure did to the EGT. Lynn p.s. Since I first filled my engine with oil, I have seen figures of 2.3 US quarts , and 2.43 US quarts, so what's a guy to believe?

I also have two figures in my manual, but in liters: 2 liters and 2.3 liters . But when changing oil, you can't empty the cooler so it is 2 liters I use. Cheers, Michel

Didn't know if it was a tad low or empty, so now I can see every quart.
