Dear Abby,
Here is a question I have always wondered about but never dared to ask.
My loved one and I have a beautiful, sensual relationship. Yet, each
time I take her close to the G-point ... err, sorry, the stall point,
prior to mush down with pleasure, she gives me a faint noise that
sounds like the fabric cracking on her wings or fuselage.
Is this normal?
Yours truly,
Michel

After the recent spate of complaints about off-topic posts, let's not get
too far into risqu or humorous posts. I personally think these are funny,
but remember the KF list rules. I am sure there are members out there who do
not appreciate the humor.
Back to discussing Kitfoxes in a non-humorous way please

I am sorry, Don, I won't do it again. Here is the question in a serious
way: Is it normal to hear a sharp noise sounding like a tear in the
fabric when stalling. Thanks in avance,
Michel

| Subject: | Vixen Information |
I have just purchased a Kitfox Vixen ( HCY-012 ) and would like to talk with
any early Vixen owners/builders.
This Kitfox has the long ( 32' ) wings and the wide ( 7' 11" ) elevator.
And the wings are swept forward 1 degree. All similar to the
Continental-powered Series 5 Vixen shown in the Pilot's Operating Handbook, but
this one was
originally built and is still powered by a 912 UL . I did not get a builder's
manual with the plane and would like to know if this was the recommended
set-up for this configuration. None of the "Tested CG Range" charts seem to
match the weight and balance information received with the plane.
I have heard of some Kitfox IV builders forward sweeping there wings, was
this to compensate for a heavy engine or for some performance design? What
should this do for my Vixen? Also would like to know what the gross weight
should be for this Vixen.
Thanks for your help,
Mark

Congrats Mark on your new purchase. Yes, the forward wing sweep was to
compensate for the heavy engine, namely the Lycoming O235, Cont IO240,
and Subarus. Using the light 912 engine with forward sweep wings would
probably create a tail heavy condition if not compensated by something
extreme forward such as a heavy prop.
The gross weight would be determined by the model/year serial number
which would be either 1400 or 1550.
Just my 2 cents.

The 1 degree forward sweep is to move the center of lift forward to give
a better CG for heavy engines. I also put 1 degree on my 5 with a 7 FWF
tailwheel with a 912s that was built light and licensed for 1320 so I
could get the tailwheel on with better control. The only thing it did
for my weight and balance is that it limits how much I can carry in the
cargo compartment. I think it limits me to about 120 pounds, but if I am
not carrying bricks or sacks of cement it is not a problem. You would
have to do the math to see where it puts you with the short engine mount
of the early Vixen, but it should not be a problem. As far as gross
weight it could be 1400 or if it is one of the real early ones it could
be less. The information with the plane should tell you what the design
weights are. Even the later Vixen was limited to 1400 pounds with the 80
HP engine due to performance limitations.
