I like it Guy. The lines are definitely retaining a downward slope and well
out of the way of potential damage. Other than the typical leaky header
tank fittings you shouldn't have any fuel problems with that. Nice job!

Hello Howard,
> From: Howard [rv73hl@comcast.net]
> Question...How do I view photos posted on the list.
It all depends on the mail reader you are using and the setting of it. E.g. on
my Macintosh, with the reader Mail, I see the photos as part of the email. When
checking my email on a PC, at work and via my provider's web site, it comes
as a name on the top of the email. When I click on it, it opens a new window in
Microsoft IE and shows the JPG or GIF file in it.
Does it sound complicated? I agree. I used to love computers for what they could
do. Now I have started loathing them for their unnecessary complexity.
Cheers,
Michel

I echo what the others have said. In addition, if you just have the digest
version, the photos are stripped off the emails. You have to get individual
emails to get photos.

If they are in .jpg format just double click the link and your photo
application should open them. Most times, depending on your email
tool, the link will appear at the bottom of the text. Some tools put
the link in the header? Have you verified that your settings are such
that you have told your machine to not capture attachments? If so
then the attachment icon in you mailbox list will not appear.

Make it out of sheet aluminum with some U channel stiffeners. Put in a
small window of plexiglass if you want one. Weighs a heck of a lot
less. All a clear rear deck does is add weight and let in extra heat in
the summer and you really can't turn around to see out of it anyway.
Now the overhead glass is wonderful for looking up and seeing into a
turn. Wouldn't be without that.

I'm not a Kitfoxer, however know many of you through the internet and as
customers. My dealings with John & Debra have been limited but in each contact
I received the information I needed.
I haven't bothered them since they started the huge enlargement of their
business with the Kitfox.
I would never have any problem recommending them to anybody.

I used these fairings from Murle Williams:
<http://murlewilliamsaviation.com/gascap.html> Mine were installed
during construction so I can't comment on performance improvements,
but Murle's testing corroborates what others have said about the
benefits of smoothing the airflow around the caps.

That's a truly generous offer, Andrew, and if I was closer I would take
you up on the offer. But I'm sure I would be able to come up with
something that I have, or do, that I could give in return.
Again, Andrew, thanks for helping the Kitfox community with your offer.

Michael - Deke and all .
Thanks for the positive words on the gas cap fairings. And yes Deke I
have seen how it fans out as I mentioned the other day how i had a leak
around the neck I noticed and put Rand o bond glue on it and it seems ok now
.
Now how about a fairing on the wing to strut attach point and also the gear
to fuselage points ?
I am sure none of these give very much help but surely doing 10 places might
give 1/4 mph each if you were lucky enough and total would be 2 mph or so.

In the wiring schematic for the S7,912S fig. K-8, Sect.J, there is a shunt separating
the rectifier, ammeter, capacitor, and alternator. It didn't make it with
my kit and Lockwood couldn't give me a clue. My ammeter is internally
shunted. Can anyone tell me the correct piece of hardware goes there.
Thanks

Does the model IV assembly book exist as a pdf? I recieved the last
version of the wing portion with some parts and it's much better than
the old Denney book I inherited. Since I am rebuilding it seemed
worthwhile to use the latest information available.

I could just see me sucking my tanks flat... :-(
A little vacuum is a good idea though.
Naw. I wasn't on the list 7 years ago and did the
tanks before learning all this. Worried a little
about them now. I sloshed them with alcohol, nothing
stronger. Bought a slosh coating listed for alcohol
and used that. Waiting for the pealing to start...

Nice pictures, Michel!
Just wondering what kind of formalities are required on the borders between
Eurpean States. Do you have to go thru customs at a port of entry, is there any
paperwork involved like we have to go thru from the US to Canada or Mexico?
Probably not, since most of Europe belongs to the Europ. Union now.

Rocky,
If your amp gage is internally shunted, that is what goes in that place. The
wiring has to go through it to show the draw and charges rates.
