The word "torch" is what I think may translate what it is, in English,
but I may be wrong. This is the kind of tool you find e.g. in the
kitchen, to make a crme brule. You may also use it to solder. It uses
lighter gas but while a lighter only burns the gas directly, this
device allows for a flow of air to come on the side and therefore works
more like a torch, giving a warmer blue and pencil-sharp flame.

Michel

Hi Matt,
I'm torn. One part of me feels that I'd like to send in my contributi
on for all the time and expense you put into this forum. The other part
of me wants to send you my resignation from this list because of the con
tinued jabber that shows up here like the one below. A couple weeks ago,
you made the rules pretty clear to people that this babbling below does
n't belong here. Yet the same chatterboxes who love to send their person
al conversations out for all of us to read don't seem to understand (or
care). It appears to me that there is a very large number of us who want
to read only Kitfox flying, building, and maintenance. Yet, over and ov
er, a certain few use this as a chat room.
Maybe, just maybe, if you would respond immediately on the forum when
messages are personal conversations like this, these chatterboxes will
finally get the idea. I know it takes even more of your valuable time, b
ut I'm guessing that I'm far from being the only one who is withholding
donations because of this continued problem.
Thanks for reading.

Jim,
Its a butane fueled soldering torch. Find at
Radio Shack or Harbor Freight but best of all go
to Home Depot or Lowes for a nice kit with all
kinds of ends and a refill canister. Very handy
for soldering big wires and soldering in remote places.

Mark, I have no Vixen experience but did learn wing instilation and removal by
the school of hard knocks building my classic 4. You probably already know this
from your Avid building, but just in case, here's some things to think about.
It is very easy once you know how. At least one helper is a must. Two helpers
is better. Proping the wing tip up before you start takes the strain off one
helper.
Before you remove any strut or spar attach bolts or pins have the helper hold on
to the wing tip and keep ahold of it until the wing is off the plane. It is
hard to visulize what will happen when you start removing the attachment hardware.
It can fool you and a wing can swing foreward or backward by suprise and
you cannot stop it by yourself. Your hands will already be full.
I suspect the Vixen will stay upright on its wheels with one wing but be ready
for it to tip to the other side when the first wing is removed.

I know the hard way! I hand made a female mold using an instrument panel
outline and centerline profile. I then vacuum bagged a carbon fiber
laminate in the mold, plus a couple of risers to attach it to the
instrument panel supports and a reinforcement strip that joins the
instrument panel but lets hot air out from behind. It's a lot of work but
the results are nice. Let me know if you want details.

Rex, since you sent it as an open letter, and therefore continued the
"jabber" as you put it, I guess you are inviting comment. I attend
meetings all the time and even the most organised meeting of people will
include forays into areas not on the agenda, it happens that sometimes
these are very productive.
In the case of the very small message you quoted it takes a second to
download, scan and delete it without comment, even longer ones are dealt
with in similar fashion quickly. If the thread provides entertainment or
information to others why are you so keen to shut it down? It's an
online community of many people, some of them are irritating from time
to time. I find those who seek to control and stifle others the most
irritating of all.
BTW Matt has my small contribution, Thanks Matt! And thanks Noel,
sometimes I need a chuckle.

Rex, I totally agree with your sentiments. Recently, several people
made their complaints known, I personally sent a letter to the list
regarding this topic including quoting the list rules, and Matt has
reminded us also. You're right, this is NOT A CHAT LIST for whatever
one feels they want to throw out there. However, some people, for
whatever reasons, just cannot seem to get the message (no pun) or
perhaps they're choosing to ignore the rules intentionally. Being on
this list is not a guarantee and it's not free. Please follow the
rules!
Rex, I certainly hope you will reconsider your donation. Matt Dralle
(Matronics owner) works very hard to provide us this forum and we all
benefit greatly from it. Hopefully those who are ignoring the rules
will reconsider what they're doing.

PLEASE! If you modify the topic, modify the Subject. If you revert to
"chat", please modify the Subject to include "OFF TOPIC". That way people
who don't want to read "chat" can rapidly move past it.

Sorry you feel that way, Rex. I sent my contribution in already. Does
this give me the right to "jabber"? NO. But if you will look at the
posts that you are referring to, one poster was inquiring (I'm reading
between the lines here) as to was there a problem with the list, as he
hadn't gotten any list mail today. I responded that I had received a
couple (hopefully answering his question) and that maybe they were
FLYING...one of your key words. Another responded indirectly about
FLYING (noting that he was not, due to high winds). Yes, we both
included a few words that did NOT pertain to "Kitfox flying, building,
and maintenance"...shame on us...I for one am self-flagellating myself,
and will sit in a corner for the rest of the afternoon...I have 1.8 hrs
of flying my Kitfox today, and can now serve my penance.

Dear Listers: I am building a Series 7 Sport with a Corvair engine. Engine is

Definitely creates interesting issues. Mine has a ballistic chute ready

Corvair? Ralph Nader, are you listening? John

| Subject: | Alodine, what I found |
After my last question about the Alodine solution I bought I took it
back and got it replaced. The store personnel did not think anything
could be wrong with it until the new bottle was a much different
colour. In any case it works as advertised and simply applying it to a
cleaned surface will result in an instant change of hue to a distinct
yellow/gold. I applied it to a sample and the tried to remove it, after
a several second heavy scrub with scotchbrite it was still easy to see
the line between treated and untreated so it might not come off as
easily as some claimed.
The maker claims a much improved corrosion resistance and it may have
been enough but since I need some of the polyfiber epoxy primer anyway
and the smallest kit will yield around two quarts I'll use that inside
the new spars as well as the small areas that need touch-up on the
airframe.
Thanks to all who sent opinion.

I am also considering the same, Frank, and I was thinking of the Single

Michel,
Where might I see what that strobe looks like? I was considering the Aero
Flash High Intensity Flush Mount.(I saw it in the Wag Aero catalog but
probably available elsewhere also.) It has a small foot print and can be
mounted top or bottom or on the rudder. Still have concerns about the Rotax
electrical system? Frank

John McBean sells a wingtip unit that includes position lights and
strobes. I have them on my Model IV, and I like them. I recall that the
fuses are something like 2 amp and 5 amp (separate fuses for the
position, and the strobes), so the load is not very much for your
electrical system.

There is a rather long procedure involved in rigging the flaperons
correctly. It would be best if you could get hold of someone locally
who has this procedure in their building manual, or contact John McBean
via this group. He should be able to help you out. If not, I could copy
the procedure from my manual and send it to you.

Lynn,
Thanks for the response. I would rather have something mounted on the
fuselage so as to not have to bother with trying to feed wires through the
wing and to the tip. I am sure that it can be done but the fuselage mount
seems to be the most practical. Frank

I understand your reasons, but let me offer what I did. I used a
plastic-coated aluminum clothesline wire (slippery) that I fed through
the rear spar, taped the light wires to it, and pulled them through the
spar...took about 10 minutes, with the wings already on the plane. The
wires for the lights come with the kit that I bought, as well as the
power unit....just food for thought.

I did basically the same thing but I used a metal tape measure. It took
longer to take the tips off then it did to pull the wires.

I'm installing a Corvair in a S5. I've had it running but ran into some

done and hope to be back on line soon. I just need to do some clean up
work and paint the block and jugs then to assemble it. I have the

I just got back from the airport taxi testing my 5 with a 912S. When I
shut the engine down the left carb overflow drips fuel, probably little
more than a couple of table spoons full. Right one is fine. (I also have
the spill pans so not dropping on anything hot). I was wondering if
anyone has an idea at what to look for. Haven't torn into the carb yet.
The engine has about an hour on it. Any advice would be appreciated.

mornings and many times before sun rise. I installed a strobe to hopefully
be seen better. It is placed on the turtle deck and was easy to install
including the electrical. It works very well and was prices right. Go to the
site below and you can see one similar.

I also looked there, Frank, but I didn't find the single one, and
streamlined. I think that, to fit the top of the tail, it should be the
streamlined, or slim profile one.

Not surprisingly; English is mostly the language of the Anglo-Saxons,
the people who lived in south Denmark and north Germany. Norwegian is a
Danish dialect.

I think if you check the manual for the 582 you will find the output of
the
magneto lighting coils to be 16A. A good rule of thumb is if you don't
have
an ammeter across your main buss then only install 80% of the generating
capability of the engine. In this case that would be a total draw of
12.8
amp. That way you can't accidentally overload your magneto coils.
If you do have an ammeter across your main buss just make sure that
whatever
is turned on doesn't total more than 16 amp.
I don't have a ammeter in my plane but I do have a 15A circuit breaker
between the voltage regulator and the main buss. That way the circuit
breaker will blow (open) before doing damage to my charging system.
Various strobe systems will consume different quantities of current.
The
current consumption of the unit you are looking at installing should be
listed on the outside of the main unit and in the documentation that
comes
with the unit. Keep the documentation along with the other papers for
your
plane in case you ever have problems.

If using a fuselage mount strobe be sure to keep the strobe and the power
pack for it some distance from your Nav/Com antenna. If the wires to the
strobe must cross the coax feeding the radio antenna try to arrange for them
to cross at right angles. Better than that, run the coax on the opposite
side of the plane from the power lines to the strobe.

The only thing you have there that draws any current is the landing
lights
under 8A each for 100W lamps. The radio probably less than 5A on
transmit.
( assuming its not a post war anchor ) The Nav and instrument lights
normally fused for 2A ... I'm doubtful is they use more than 1/2 A
combined
( 1/2 A breakers are scarce as hens teeth). Sounds like you are still
inside the 80% load I mentioned in an earlier post.

when I added it all up it came out to 10.16 amps max at 12 volt . Of
course I am not running all of this at once . But am still under the 80
%. This is something that alot of people do not understand when it
comes to electricity. I agree it should never be run at max capacity for
very long or it will burn out the generator.

That allways happens to me if I take the bowls off to clean them out. You
just have to make sure the floats are seated just right in the bowl as you
put the botom back on. Run it and see if you got it, if not try and re seat
them again.
Usually works for me anyways.
Hope it helps

Thanks fellows. I actually own one of the devices which I picked up
some months ago but discovered it did not come with fuel which I have
not gotten around to purchasing. Partly because I have not needed it
to date. Now I will know of a good use for it.
I will not receive my Jabiru 3300 engine until the last of
February. It will hopefully will not need this attention for a
while. I am just trying to keep up ahead of time.
