This far North we have to do another W&B if the weight of the aircraft has
changed by more than 10% since the last W&B. Smaller changes can be
documented with an amendment to the W&B. you would still have the paper
work but don't have to go get scales and level wings etc. etc.. Check with
your AI. I'm pretty sure there is a similar procedure south of the lakes.

I bought an extra set of tyres for my fox, so far the old tyres have 4 years and
this year to date 117 flights and 1027 landings, they still look great, I fly
a bunch. I think the reason tyres wear is not because they are landed on grass
versus asphalt, but because we land a little crooked. I would recommend anybody
having trouble with tyre wear to have a CFI that is tail wheel fly with
you to determine if you have a squaring problem on touch down, if that isn't the
problem than I would check your landing gear to see if it has a problem with
alignment. Oh and 99% of my landings are on asphalt.

It is necessary to change the tyres of my kitfox model 4 . But it's
impossible to find in France ( and in Europe) the right size of tyres.
I use actually " 200 * 7.00 - 8 Nylon 2 Ply rating " ( "Tundra type"),
. May be they're not the most suitable for a Hard-surfaced runway.
I would be very grateful if somebody could give me :
* The right type and size I could set on the kitfox (model 4)
* The mail and telephone address, in the USA, where the product
would be available.

Those are the original Cheng Shin tyres. They did an excellent job on
my plane for the many years she flew from a grass airfield but after
two years on the asphalt I fly from, they got worn down.
Looking for an alternative, I asked the guys on this list and got a lot
of interesting answers. Finally, I went to a local tyre specialist and
asked what he had available. I wanted smooth tyres because I am afraid
of gravel being projected on my wings. He recommended a locally
produced tyre 0f 18x9.50 - 8. Of course it is a smaller tyre but it is
4-ply and very resistant. It also needs more pressure. While the Cheng
Shin needs 7 lbs, mine require much more, up to 24 lbs. But I put only
16 to 18 lbs in them and ... mind you, it gives a harder ride,
especially where the asphalt has some holes.
But they have served me good for the past year and half and show no
trace of wear. The brand is Rwde and since its written with a
Scandinavian letter, I guess ... it is Scandinavian. But I am sure
you'll find other similar brands in France, or in the US. Many people
on the list are very happy with huge tundra tyres but the question is:
Is it good on asphalt or concrete?

I understand, Michel...when I use the "signatures" feature of my

paste it up under what I wrote...a few seconds work, but better for
me than typing. As a matter of fact, this time I'm gonna leave it
where the program puts it and see where it ends up. I think it will
end up below your "do not archive" line.

I wouldn't think you'd have to do another W&B, just calculate where

I also had a Rotory Valve oil tank leak, I replaced the gasket
but
it still leaked, not a lot, but a little seems to spread all over and
looks
like a lot, it so happens that it was a crack in the cap. I ordered two
new
caps and gaskets, installed a new cap with new gasket, and safety wired
it nice and tight, and that solved the problem, never to leak again,
still
have that other new cap and gasket if any one needs one. I'll be glad
to
give it to someone sense I have a 912 now.

I experienced the same thing. It may be too full and coming out
the breather hole. I my case, I did not have a gasket in the cap, so I
made one. It does need to breath though, so insure that there is a hole
in the gasket not aligned with the hole in the cap and you should be
set. Look at a lawn mower gas cap. I caution that it does have to
breath or oil will not flown properly. I learned that while draining
the oil to change it. If the cap was on too tight, the oil would not
drain.

Carlisle also makes some 8" ribbed tires in various sizes. Look in the lawn
tractor section of
www.cedarrapidstire.com They might be better on paved runways than the
totaly smooth tundra tires.

Simple math Mark, but yes I would make another sheet. If many changes are
made or you are unsure of the cog then I would reweigh. Ron NB Ore

I spoke with Bob Robertson. It turns out the banjo fittings
connecting the pump to the oil feeds contain check valves. He says
these occasionally leak. Unfortunately he also says he's never had
any luck cleaning them so I'll just have to replace the one that's
passing oil. Parts are on order.
Thanks for all the responses. And support Bob Robertson at
Light Engine Services. He's a hell of a nice guy, knows his stuff,
and is always helpful.
