Steven,
The Kitfox 5's do not qualify for sport pilot. The original ones gross
weight was 1400, then later went to 1550, mine is 1500. Only the 4's
will meet the gross weight limits.
Sorry,

Steven,
I live in Cameron Park and have a Model IV. I'd be glad to take you up for
a Kitfox ride if a Model IV with tail wheel would give you what you want, or
maybe just for fun.
I am not aware of any Vixen's close by, but there is one in the Bay area. I
host a Kitfox fly-in on the 9th of June this year. Come by and I am sure
there will be some here.

Glenn,
I believe the first Kitfox to receive the 912 was a model II. But I believe
the III was then developed to handle the additional weight better of the 912
four stroke. I think there is a magazine article from way back when
describing all that.
Charlie,
That model III with a hundred horse 912 must be a real screamer?
Tell us more about it...empty weight, climb rates, takeoff distances,
speeds, etc. I'm sure the group would enjoy hearing about it. Oh yeah,
also what kind of prop?

I was a tech counselor on a Vixon. The short wing version was rated at 1200
lb and the long wing was 1400 lbs. That was using the 80 HP 912ULS. Also

Hello,
I am in the Market to Purchase a Kitfox V Vixen to fly under LSA Rules and I
am hoping to find someone near the Cameron Park, California (O61) area with
whom I can take a flight with.
I also work in the Bay Area and can fly out of San Carlos (KSQL) if someone
in that area can accommodate my request.

LeRoy,
Not going to get into a long list discussion on this as it has
been beat around pretty hard.. That is not a completely correct statement.
What if on floats ?? What if it is not certificated yet ? Is it a short
wing or long wing ?

I own a Kitfox Vixen with a 912 UL that is registered at 1320#. If you
find a almost completed kit you can set the gross weight to 1320# and it will
qualify for the LSA.

Mal are you sure the tube is stainless? it may be chrome plated copper
tube
soldered not welded into the cap. I bought a regular cap last year
removed
all the plastic stuff and the sealing gasket inside, drilled a hole in
it
and soldered in a chrome plated copper tube normally used as a toilet
feed
stem. when I was finished I cut the tube to length and bent it forward
into
the airflow. Of course I re installed the gasket.

Just a guess but I'd consider taking the hinge apart (remove the pin),
lubricate or soap the inside of the hinge and then paint it separately.
When the paint is dry it should be easy to remove from the lubricated
surfaces yet should hold to the untreated surfaces. Then re-assemble
the
hinge. I have seen helicopters used in wildlife counting, where they
actually paint caribou, pre sprayed with WD40 before each flight so the
overspray is easy to wipe off. Given enough warm water the WD40
disappears
too.
