Guy,
I'm no expert on the bing. But I do know many of the parts are the same between.
So I'm going to assume that the 64 operates the same. High or low floats
will effect the fuel entering the main jets for the fuel transfer is straight
up and out.
As far as being a nut, I except your explaination. I am a person full of energy
and sitting idle is not my game. I always have to be doing something.

I don't want to be uncooperative, and my only stake in this is a set
of free VGs for doing the experimenting. Please understand that Art
(CCI) is a business and desires to keep spacing propitiatory. His
instructions has all the information needed.
I'm happy to report that it works very well and is money well spent;
especially in the tail improvements!

Larry, you might want to clarify this with the list. It wasn't clear
from your previous post that you were compensated for your efforts.
>Please understand that Art (CCI) is a business and desires to keep

I understand. I was really asking whether they were on the bottom or
top. And anyway, VG spacing can never be proprietary, unless you plan
to only fly at night out of Area 51! ;-) Anyone who sees your
aircraft at a fly-in will be able to replicate your placing. The
reason I would pay Art for his VG's are for his parts and service.

I'm glad. Unfortunately my interest will have to wait further
information on the wing, as I do not see the difficulties you had
with your stab.

Charles,
What you are looking for is the Suspa gas spring C-16-10788/ It has a 12.2"
extended length and an 8.3" compressed length and a 35# force. It can be
ordered from:
http://www.jlkrakercompany.com/suspa_cylinder_pricing.htm
I am sure there are other manufacturers and suppliers, but this is one
source for the original supplied Skystar and Denney gas springs.

Here's some more on this. My bing 54 carb throttles were adjusted so that the
hanging down part of the slide was even with the top of the venturi which put
the air cleaner side of the slide a few milimeters above the top of the venturi.
There was a little free play left in the throttle cable when the stop was
contacted at full throttle so no strain on the throttle cable ends.
I have the Arctic Sparrow adjustable needles and they would not turn at full throttle...not
that they need to be adjusted at full throttle...but this was telling
me there was some kind of strain going on with the sparrow needle cables
with this setting.
I called CPS yesterday to get their expert opinion as something seemed to not be
right. His answer couldn't have been more vague. I still didn't know the answer
after talking with them.
I then adjusted the throttle cable so that the air cleaner side of the slide was
even with the top of the venturi and the manifold side is hanging down into
it a few milimeters. I get the same static RPMs (6200) as before and the sparrow
needle cables will turn at all throttle settings. The Rotax manuals seem
to lose something...okay, a lot...in the translation.

Rotax
Tom,
The artic sparrow needles are silver soldered onto the thread. Is it
possible that they are hitting the top?
If you slides are opening all the way and both carbs are synced You are
likely ok.
The higher your slides go the higher your needles go and come out of the
main jet.
Are you EGTs reading ok in cruise ? And do the spark plugs indicate a good
fuel burn ? Do you have a fuel flow meter? If so what is your readings
are different rpms ?
Your prop might be set properly here and you would not get more rpm with
even bigger jetting as the next obstacle is your exhaust which is timing
your exhaust pulse and allowing for only so much scavenging right now. Hey
you can get 100 HP out of a 582 but it will be in a narrow power band and
you will use alot more fuel and have less reliability.

Charles:
There's a vendor on e-bay who sells gas struts. Search on "suspa" and "C-16-10788."
I bought 2 new in original packaging for what you'll pay for one anywhere else.
As I recall, that was the "buy it now" price.

| Subject: | Re: CCI VG's on the Avid Flyer STOL |
Thanks, Kurt. Another crash and another re-boot with the default values. A
local computer whiz is building me a new tower with all the bells and
whistles including Windows Vista, and was supposed to deliver it one day
this week, but it hasn't gotten here yet. Hopefully I can finish this
message and send it before I have to do another re-boot. That process
requires sitting here beside the computer and nursing it along past a couple
of glitches. Very frustrating. We were fortunate in having no wind damage
here, but much of the green which was appearing on the landscape has turned
brown thanks to the freezing weather. I'm just glad I don't have a bunch of
money invested in an orchard as this years fruit crop in Kentucky is
probably going to be a wipeout.
I'm still in the process of getting my little Rans S14 ready for an
airworthiness inspection. I can't remember whether I told you or not, but a
mechanic for UPS who is a DAR and lives only about 25 miles from here (Mark
Cottrell) is going to do the job for me. I've spoken with him by phone a
couple of times, and he sounds like a pretty reasonable ol' country boy. I
got the EAA packet which does a good job of guiding you through the process.
Hopefully I'll get it right the first time.
Thanks for the heads-up on the time and date. Stay in touch.
Clem

| Subject: | Re: Carb slide position at full throttle on a two stroke |
Rotax
Dave, the EGts are in the green and even with each other. By my calculations and
verified by EGts I would say the engine is completely up on the main jets at
just under 3/4 throttle and 4800-5000 RPM range. The 503 seems to have plenty
of power. Much more than I expected.
I am just trying to figure out if there is a reason the CPS carb set up instructions
show a drawing of the carb with the window skirt on the manifold side of
the slide valve hanging down into the venturi at full throttle. Does it serve
a purpose that isn't obvious to me?

Just purchased a kitfox 7 project that started in 2002 but was evidently exposed
to Houston's humidity. I have surface rust that go from specks to spots. On
the edges of metal it's more like a string of specks and on the tubing more like
numerous specks to spots. Is there something I can do other than strip the
airframe, the paint and repaint???

I looked this up and it concurs with what Don said, I agree open it up all

PS EGT gauge is a gauge of what is going on realitime but the spark plugs
will tell the story for real.
http://www.ultralightnews.com/enginetroublshooting/techtips/techtips1.htm
Next have someone apply throttle SLOWLY while you watch the slides. The
slides should BOTH start up at the same time. If not adjust using the two
adjusters located at the top of the carb.
Once you have them starting up at the same time open them all the way up and
make sure that the slide is completely clear at its upper most throttle
position. You now know you have both carbs starting at the same time and
that they are both opening up to full throttle.

| Subject: | Kitfox List Admin Retirement |
For those of you out there who aren't aware of it, Don Pearsall and I
have been the co-administrators for the kitfox for a lot of years.
After long period of discussions between Don and I, I'm posting this
message to announce my retirement from the duties of Kitfox List
Administration. Many years ago Don and I simultaneously assumed the
management of the list. Previous to that Don hosted it and Jim Crowder
was the moderator. It even goes much farther back than that, but that's
another story. It's been a very rewarding job that has led us through
several challenges, including the complete loss of list functions due to
server problems, changes to hosting entities, and finally to where we
made the decision to move to Matt Dralle's Matronics where things have
been more automated and very stable. It was a lot of work making the
changes, but the result was worth the effort.
It was a couple of years ago that Don and I started talking about
retiring. Don sold his project a few years ago and he no longer has a
Kitfox and has been spending his time, money, and effort as list admin
out of the kindness of his heart. I'm still flying my Kitfox and have
no immediate intention of changing that, but I've been doing this for a
very long time and we've both decided that the time has come for us to
gracefully bow out and leave the administrative functions to some new
blood.
Shortly you'll be receiving an introduction letter from long-time list
members Guy Buchanan and Michael Gibbs as new list administrators.
They're both very capable guys and I have no doubt that they'll do an
effective and fair job in the management process. I have no doubt that
you will all give them the full support that you've given to Don and I.

| Subject: | New List administrators coming on board |
After 13 years of being on the Kitfox List, being banned from the Kitfox
List and then ending up moderating the Kitfox list I have decided to turn my
job over to Michael Gibbs, a longtime member and contributor of the list. I
have enjoyed every day of communicating with all the members here and it has
been an enormous help to me both in building a Kitfox as well as making good
friends around the world. Through the list I was able to speak with and get
to know 100's of people that I would never have otherwise been aware of. I
am sure it is the same with you too.
The List has gone through many changes. The founding member, Jim Simmons of
Boulder, CO first hosted the site through colorado.edu, then switched to his
internet provider sni.net, and then I took over the hosting job and hosted
the list through sportflight.com. In 2003, Deke and I made the hard decision
to move the list to Matronics so we could have a more professional hosting
service and that is where the list resides now.
If you want to take a trip down memory lane, all the list messages are still
available. You can view the messages from 1994 - 2000 through my website
http://sportflight.com/archives/. From year 2000 to 2003 you can view the
messages via a Yahoo archive at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/kitfoxlist/,
and of course all messages from 2003 to present are available here on the
Matronics site.
I want to specifically thank Deke Morisse for co-administering the list. He
has spent 100's of hours over the years helping monitor the list and being
pro-active in preventing problems. He has done this for no other reward than
to make the list available for all members. Thanks Deke!

I understand that doing the job you have been doing for years is no

built my bird and is still there when there are problems. For this I
thank you most sincerely. You have done extremely well.

Guy and Michael,
Welcome to your new tasks as List Administrator. The time, and everything
else involved in doing the job, is daunting. Your volunteerism is
appreciated. I know first hand the help the folks on the list provide to each
other and
with your leadership I'm sure it will continue to be the excellent venue
that it is.
You have tough shoes to fill , but as they say in the best aviation comedy
ever made, "We're all counting on you!"
