out of curiosity, what is it about the tube gear that you aren't happy
with?

MessageOn my Model IV the tube is steel, may be stainless but probably
plated after welding along with the cap. And it is welded, I can remove
and/or tighten the cap by torqueing the tube and see the weld bead. It
is not soldered.

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.

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.

Gents...first, I want to thank all the fellas who responded to my earlier questions
on the wings. Absolutely wonderful data!
Next question is...what is the length of a Kitfox between the mains and the tail
wheel?
IN other words, how long of a trailer deck is needed to haul a KitFox Series IV
speedster?
Also, is it recommended to trailer a KitFox with the tail weight sitting on the
tail wheel when folded?
for 500 miles?
or is there some other method of supporting the wings?
OR supporting the rear of the fuse?
Will the front attachment fitting on the wings take this also?
Thx in advance !

I hauled my very much incomplete 'fox 1300 miles on a converted boat
trailer (2-leaf springs on the trailer). The trailer was for a light
boat of the fishing variety, not a speedboat for the whole family.
The ride for the plane should be smooth. With the wings folded, there
will be too much weight on the rear wheel. There is a cross-tube near
the rear wheel, that is used for a support of some fashion, and it
keeps the weight off the rear wheel while it is on the trailer. I did
not know this at the time I did my big haul back here. It is best, I
believe, to elevate the fuse so it rides somewhat level. My wings
rode on the trailer alongside the fuselage, cushioned with foam. I
hauled my plane from Texas to Michigan with just the weight of the
fuselage on the tailwheel, as I said, no wings, no tailfeathers, and
my tailwheel spring eventually broke after a few months of flying it.
I don't know whether the 1300-mile ride caused that breakage or not,
but it couldn't have helped the situation.
You should see about making, or buying from John McBean, a set of the
front wing spar supports.

Guys, the original tubular gear is fine. The aluminium Grove gear is
probably stronger. Please, don't start a flame about it.
Incidentally, a Norwegian friend crashed his Avid Flyer last Sunday. He
lost power of his Rotax 582 and had to make an emergency landing in a
field. But the ground was more uneven than it looked like from up there
and he broke his tubular gear and went nose down in the earth. He is
unarmed but his plane is badly damaged. I have asked him permission to
send his photo of the open 582 to this list and when I get it, I'll
show you how a 582 can get badly damaged in flight.
In my opinion, if he had a Grove gear, it would probably have saved at
least the plane. But hindsight is always very easy.
Cheers,

| Subject: | Re: Grove Landing Gear |
The only reason I said something is because anytime somebody wants a Grove gear...
well you know where I'm going. Today I had a hard landing, not anything to
do with me, but because I landed behind a helicopter that was doing touch and
go's with hovering on the approach end of the runway. Well what happened is
I come in like normal, the winds calm and I pull slight nose up for the flair,
all was fine than all of the sudden the plane goes up, then with antisipation
for what is to happen I hit some power at the same time the plane drops to
the ground with a little yaw (not a wing drop) and flop onto the landing gear,
no bounce. I feel If I had the tube gear the bungies would have broke, as it
was the Grove gear kept on ticking. The tube gear is nice, a little lighter,
but has it's limitations. The Grove gear will hold up to any abuse, within reason
that is. Down side to the Grove gear, if you take off and the role out
is too fast the wheels ,if out of balance, will bounce around a little bit.
Upside to the Grove gear, no bungies to mess with on the annual.

Gentlemen, this is not Kitfox business but since many of us fly behind
a 582, I wonder if you could have a look at this.
My friend flying an Avid Flyer lost his 582 in flight, as I said
earlier. His engine is old, from 1990, it has a total of 340 hours but
it has been serviced in 2002, including new crankshaft bearing, when
the engine had 280 hours.
Inspection of the engine by a Rotax mechanic shows that the aft
cylinder conrod roller bearing was completely destroyed. The conrod was
loosen from the crankshaft and the sump showed several cracks. The
forward cylinder and conrod showed no damage and everything else was
moving and well oiled. Here is a photo of the opened engine. Has anyone
an idea of what could have gone wrong because the Norwegian mechanic
has not a clue. Thanks in advance.

Don,
I have trailered my speedster on a 14 foot dual axel snowmobile trailer nose
first several thousand miles. I would rather tow tail first but on 14 foot,
you have to put prop over the tongue. Duel axel is best for chuck hole
support the lighter the spring system is the better 500 miles is no big deal
just watch for the big holes and ledges. Make sure there is no fuel on board
and use the wing outer spar braces. If you intend to tow a lot, I would make
a support for the tail tow inserts. I did see one fox break in front of the
tail, but that is one out of how many?

While folks are relaying stories about how their grove gear has saved them, i'll
add mine. I had an engine fail on my avid speedwing on take off a few months
ago when I was around 60' up with only a few hundred feet of runway left. I had
to land HARD to get it back down before I hit the trees. I am absolutely convinced
that if I still had the tube gear I would have done substantial damage
to my plane. No doubt in my mind. The $1200 I spent on the gear saved me much
more than that in repairs.

I dont plan to haul it ever again, If I buy it, it will live in a nice cushy hangar.
I have a 16ft tandem flatbed utility...7000 gvw...about 1200 empty and I am aware
that this is sprung a tad stiff for airplane duty. But so far, it might be
my only choice. I have lots of tractor weights I might add to ease the ride. Dunno
yet.
I now see that at least it will fit on the deck....barely.
I am looking for a better option still.
What are these wing supports and how do they work? Do they attach to the airframe?
I have seen mention of removeing the wings entirely and stowing them. Will they
fit in the length under the plane between the mains and the tailwheel?
Ailerons would probably need to come off to do this?

Maybe lower the tire pressure on the plane to practically nothing,
support the tailwheel on old sofa cushions or an old overstuffed
chair. You might look like the Beverly Hillbillies, but who cares?
The wing supports go from the attach point of the wing's front spar
down to one of the tabs on the fuselage. You can build them as crude
as you'd like for a "one-shot" deal, maybe even hammering out the
ends of pipe, instead of welding in a nice tab. I'm sending you a
picture of mine on separate mailing.

Is anyone getting any information with these replys? For the last couple days when
I look at my posts, I see nothing.
Any clues?

John, I helped a guy on the east side with a yellow series 5 with IO240 engine
a couple of years ago. I believe he is still there. A good friend, Steve
Swensen has a Murphy Rebel at Ogden. His father is responsible for my aero addiction.
The Swensen Kitfox 4-1200 flies out of Brigham. There are 3 fox's at
Logan.

Darin,
I believe we have talked before,
I am happy boy again; I have someone in the area to talk "fox" with.
I would like to see your project sometime. Ogden seems to be a good place to
fly out of. I was a bit worried about the airspace but found it easier that
expected.

I dont plan to haul it ever again, If I buy it, it will live in a nice
cushy hangar.
I have a 16ft tandem flatbed utility...7000 gvw...about 1200 empty and I am
aware that this is sprung a tad stiff for airplane duty. But so far, it
might be my only choice. I have lots of tractor weights I might add to ease
the ride. Dunno yet.
I now see that at least it will fit on the deck....barely.
I am looking for a better option still.
What are these wing supports and how do they work? Do they attach to the
airframe?
I have seen mention of removeing the wings entirely and stowing them. Will
they fit in the length under the plane between the mains and the tailwheel?
Ailerons would probably need to come off to do this?

have anything to say.

| Subject: | Re: KitFox wheel base? |
Thx for the pics...I understand perfectly now.
As far as the Move..The Deal has not been struck yet. I have an offer to trade
and we not very far apart on the money. The biggest Holdup is the move. IF we
were not 525 miles apart, I think we would have come together probably. Right
now...I am at the point where I have to decide if all the trouble is worth it.
My Kolb FireFly will not make the flight. It is just not a crosscountry machine.
The KitFox is out of annual...etc...etc....
So I am exploring all the details...then must decide to kick in a little more boot...
Trouble is...you guys have about got me talked into the notion that the Speedster
is just what I want!!!!!!! (grin.......
If we come together...the move could be a soon as a week...or maybe a month. I
havent asked about storage after the purchase.
What have you on your mind John?

Don,
Just to save you time, if and when you go to move I will loan you my braces.
I can stick them in a tube and mail, or FedEx, you can return the same way.
