Lowell,
Exactly .............. pump the fluid from the bleeeder with a oil can. You
will oush the air up to the master.
If you have loops in the line anywhere air will be pushed UP .
Doing it the way FLoyd mentioned might work but it would take alot more
line, alot more time and might not get air trapped in a loop in the line.
Works for me fine with oil can , fast and efficeint and simple with no need
to run lines from brakes to Masters. I could see this getting messy
Make sure you use Mil spec fliud 5606 i think is the number.

Don,
I have read posts of many that some I agree with and some I do not.
I find it odd that just because you have been a 10 year member that that
makes you superior to others. I can guarantee you that there are many that
have flown more in 6 months then some on list for 10 year might have flown
ever. Does this make then superior? Not in my opinion but we are all here
to be able to share info and help each other out ?
These internet chat forums area great benefit for everyone ot be able to
read other's comments.
Simple solution- if it bothers you - just leave.
And if you think that you belong to an elite group, well go start an elite
group forum and only allow comments that you approve.
I echo John Perry's comments about Archiving as well .......... one man's
junk is another man's treasure.
You can see that I do not BS, Heck I even made some movies to help out Guy
as he was taking 700 to 1000 feet to take off in his Kitfox quite simular
to mine. Actually turned out quite fun to make movies and be able to share
for other to enjoy. I get dozens of messages a week from others saying
thanks. So I know I helped others enjoy their Kitfox.
Kitfox in my opinion is a great aircraft for it's purpose and to be able to
learn and share from the great amount in info that is available from the
posters at this group is a real attribute to all.
So get off your high horse and stand on the same ground with the rest of us
.
Dave

Leni,
I'll second that. Certain people with certain personalities can just
get pissed at the least little old thing. I say "don't sweat the small
stuff" have you not watched the news lately or picked up a newspaper. If you
read something you don't like or agree with, do what I do, highlight and hit
shift+delete. OK I'll shut up now.

| Subject: | Re: Cooling Question |
Lloyd,
I've been working with a lidar system on-board our aircraft for quite
some time. Part of the system is a coolant flow loop hooked to a
chiller. We have re-discovered some basic principles of fluid
mechanics. Namely that the smaller the diameter of the coolant line,
the greater the pressure drop, and the lower the flow rate. Also,
longer line lengths will increase pressure drop. I suspect you are
correct in thinking that the smaller diameter is causing problems.
That coupled with the length the coolant has to flow through the
core, compared to the length it flows through the parallel path is
also a factor. By paying attention to the inside diameter of all
fittings, hoses and tubing, you can change the flow rates in
different parts of the system. Larger diameters=more flow. Anyone
else have any thoughts?
Mike

Hello Lowell and Noel,
I think we agree that any composite construction, being polyester or
epoxy with glass-fibre, carbon-fibre or Kevlar, has an optimal
proportion ratio that ensure best strength-weight ratio, whether for
maritime, aviation or industrial use - it is the same.
I don't know about the US but in the UK, it is often called GRP (glass
reinforced plastic) and I think it's a misnomer because some may think
of it as e.g. a cement construction that is reinforced with steel rods
or mesh. What it is, really, is a glass-fibre construction where the
fibre is glued together with a resin. A GRP boat is mostly a glass boat
but I understand that some may not like the thought of it! :-)
NOTE: I hesitated to call this thread OFF-TOPIC because, after all,
some of us make cowlings, etc. out of composite material including
resin. However, I have added Do not archive to all my postings on the
subject. I don't think it's worth archiving.
Regarding the flame going on now, I'll stay out of it but, please,
don't split the list into two! The power of it is the sum of all the
members, even the not-so-whatever ones who may pester some with
off-topic one-liners.
Cheers,
Michel

Thanks Michel
I must have inadvertently hit a raw nerve with Don last night. That happens
both ways and certainly isn't worth continuing.
There have been several instances when Don has properly corrected me on not
using the do not archive statement. I receive several lists and the
Matronics one is the only one that uses the DNA statement so yes I miss it
....often. Never intentionally.
It has been a few years now since I have used bagging schedules and I must
admit I never considered that Yachts would be made in that manner. Building
an autoclave big enough is just one problem.
Within a few miles of my home there is a small company who still makes
composite fishing boats with a spray up technique. They were showing me
their heavy dense wood keel that were sandwiched into the boats during
construction. I expect their boats which do use an epoxy resin are closer
to 50/50 than 70/30. Their boats are certainly durable. Some of them are
used year round in ice laden waters. I have no doubt that their
construction methods are much heavier and not nearly as strong as the method
you have described but they may be more durable for the use they receive.

I am a bit confused here. It seems quite OK for the chatty ones to do and
say what they want in the list and almost demand to be respected for it but
it is quite NOT OK for others to do and say what they expect with the list.
And this despite the fact that their comments are well within the intents of
the list guidelines.
I received a note last evening from a long time member and valuable
contributor. The essence of his post was that it has been successful for a
long time and why risk the continued success with a new list direction.
There have been a couple of rebellions in the past that I am aware of where
a new list was started more in keeping with what some thought a forum should
be. The Lazair Kitfox forum was the latest. It disappeared last Summer I
presume, according to their web page. None have lasted more than a couple of
years.
I would certainly hope that a bit more respect could be shown to some of the
veterans when all they are doing is expressing opinions. Why is it OK for
one faction to become "P**** and the other side it is some sort of age
related dementia. In fact I can't remember a single incidence of irritation
from one of the senior members of the list being punctuated by gutter talk.

| Subject: | Re: Bleeding brakes |
I've bled my brakes a couple of times (I had to replace wheel
cylinder O-rings once) since I built my plane, and I use the oilcan
method, combined with counting the number of strokes of the pumper.
When I get to about 40 strokes, I measure the amount (with a dip
stick) of fluid in the master reservoir, and if it is within a half-
inch of being full, I suction it out with a small hypodermic. This
method does not allow for ANY mess, if you pay attention, and refill
the oilcan often, and check the master reservoir and reduce the
volume when near full.
I found out the number of strokes needed by filling the master
cylinder directly with the oilcan. This told me the maximum number of
strokes to be applied (while bleeding) before the master cylinder
should be emptied.
My plane has Cleveland master cylinders, Matco wheel cylinders, and
one master reservoir.

Well seeing that everyone is quick to post facts today , I have been
asking if anyone has actually changed from a Droop style tip to a newer
hoerner style tip with no success. Can I conclude that this has just
been for aesthetic only.?
I have mixed feelings at they both have there pros and cons.
Surely with all the years of expertise here we can come to a conclusion.
If is possible for a 582 Kitfox to cruise at 100 mph ? I am at 102 to
104 now WOT at low altitude (1500 asl) and 88 to 90 at cruise setting
on wheels.
Not sure what more can be done to get another 10% . Original Kitfox
info I think say cruise at 7500 asl is 105 mph. 582 just seems to
hit a brick wall and/or run out of torque.
Would be productive for all Kitfox Owners to be able to pick up a few
extra mph ?

Any time you have 500 people participating in a group activity, such
as discussing Kitfox and Avid aircraft, you will have differences in
opinion. More fundamentally, you will also have different thoughts
on what the purpose of the group is, too.
Is this list a chat room? Is it a technical forum for aircraft
builders? Is it social hour for people who have no other friends?
It's all of the above and more. Do the various members have
different needs? Different technical abilities? Different means of
connecting to the group? Absolutely.
To make a group like this successful for as long as it has been in
existence requires a little effort on the part of its members.
Presumably, we are all here because we enjoy communicating with the
group. Is it so difficult to show a little consideration for the
other people on the list?
It's not much trouble to make sure your subject line has something to
do with your comments. It's not much trouble to add something like
"fluff" to a subject line to warn those with more technical tastes
that they can skip that message. It's not much trouble to keep your
attachments to a reasonable size since not everyone has broadband
internet access. It's not too much trouble to add "d* not archive"
to a message that has no relevance to future readers. It's not much
trouble to send text-only messages so that everyone can read them.
This isn't about freedom of speech. We are all guests here at the
pleasure of the list management. Nobody here has any rights here
except for Matt Dralle who owns the list servers. It's about acting
like civilized human beings. It's about cutting the other guy a
little slack.
It's about realizing that you're not the only one on the list.

I wouldn't worry about it Lowell. I was taken to task for some minor thing a
few months back. I don't recall by who, I sure he does. He said he was
enforcing the "rules" and was a friend of Deke's and he was quite upset when
I was unimpressed. It only took a minute to discover that he was not above
participating in off topic "chatter" and neither is the current complainant
as a short search in the archives will discover.
The best thing to do is ignore it, try to respect the rules without going
nuts about it and try to help each other. Trying to force other people to
think the way you want them to is a stupid endeavor.
Do not archive

No doubt the Hoerner tips would increase speed marginally. So would
strut
fairings and gas cap fairings. Wheel pants would help too and while we
are
at it give the windshield more rake. then you will want the heaviest
two
blade prop your PSRU can swing. With all this I still doubt you will
hit a
cruise of 100+mph.
I certainly don't think my B box swinging that little Ivo will come any
where near 100 even if I were to take the floats off.
I think the droops may give a bit better flight characteristics in
ground
effect. That makes them desirable for me.

Does anyone have aircraft experience with this type of product
http://www2.northerntool.com/product-1/200329001.htm
My question is... would they close enough to lift a 6.00-6 tires off the floor.
I have used them with automobiles and they work great but the diameter is larger
naturally. The specs on these and others I have looked at always give a maximum
extension,distance, but no minimum.
Yes, I know I should call the mfg. but it's Sunday.
Thanks in advance,
steve

I agree with Graeme. The break away groups serve to only fracture the group and
dilute the content. I've seen it happen before and that's exactly what happens.
Additionally, while some may have good intentions, in the long run, these
alternative sources come and go and all of the archive logging resources disappear
with them.
I have invested a large amount of time and money in providing a service here at
Matronics that will be available for a long time to come. All of the data is
backup nightly so if there is a problem, I can restore the content. I've been
doing this for 18 years, and I'm here to provide a long term quality service.
I humbly ask that everyone please reconsider this redistribution of service. The
problem is not the service (email/web/etc). We need to focus on being kind
and courteous to everyone and realize that we all have different backgrounds
and interests. Everyone is welcome here, regardless of their interest or experience.

Leni, no problem , I have no intention of putting up one.
I just did that in a minute or two to show how easy it is.
Hey you went out and got a domain even !!
Actually I like forum better as you can add pictures and files with out
imparing the dial up users as most forums shrink the pics to thumbs.
Either way looks good :)

Lowell,
I think that alot should not revolve around on who is a senoir member or
whatever. You have condoned me for making hundreds of posts in the past
and I just shrug it off.
But we must all go with the times and use each other's help to help each
other out. I feel that I have in the past gon out of my way to help out
others as well. This is a information sharing list,. forum or whatever ?
If you think otherwise please let us know.
There is life east of the rockies you know and pilots with over 25000 hours
as well .
Everyone has opinions and some have a vested interest but we all fly
Kitfoxes and that is the keyword "KITFOX "
Dave

Matt:
My sentiments exactly. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by
fracturing the group and a great deal to be lost.
Let bygones be bygones and get on with enjoying the planes.
I feel somewhat responsible for what is unfolding as it was a comment I made
that precipitated a reply from another group member which started this talk
of a split in the group.

| Subject: | Bing Carb Flooding |
Hi ! Guys,
I have a Bluehead 582 about 150 hours old so I would not
expect worn parts and they certainly look ok. However every now and then
the back carby floods. When it does I get rough running down low. If the
motor is not running then I get some dribbling out of those two little holes
in the vent loop. It only does it several weeks apart. If I pull the bowl I
can't find anything either in the bowl or needle and seat. It's a worry
because it drips on the muffler. In flight I just give it full throttle and
back off again and it's fine. On the ground if I pull the bowl off I find
nothing and all is fine when I put it back. Being intermittent like that it
makes it very hard to find. It's always only the back bowl and theoretically
nothing can get to the needle and seat anyway. I have a filter and a
gascolator. Any common problems like this or any ideas would be
appreciated. Thanks in advance, Rex.

Many thanks to the three who have provided wheel weights for their tri-gears. Anyone
else out there who can give stats for their fox? If I can get a few more
responses, I can put together a chart that might prove highly useful to other
tri-gear kitfox builders (and myself) when trying to do rough weight and balance
work. Please provide model number and engine type. Bathroom scales work!
Many thanks.
