| Subject: | spar attach sleeves |
List,
Does anyone have one (or a set) of the spar attach sleeves that fit over
the end of the wing spar where it attaches to the fuselage? Accipiter
and Bluesky used to sell them but don't make them any longer. I need
them for a Classic 4 wing. Thanks,

| Subject: | rotax pulse pump leaking weep hole |
The pulse pump on my 503 rotax leaks fuel out the weep hole. It is installed according
to the kitfox manual. It is mounted high on the fire wall in a horizontal
position with the weep hole on the bottom. I tried a new pump and rerouting
the pulse line up over the carb flanges but it did not even slow the amount
of fuel leaking. I am using 30R9 rubber fuel injection hose for the pulse line.
It l;eaks about 1/2 to 1 ounce per hour of flight.
I asked this question on the Kolb list. They seem to think something is amiss.
They don't seem to have this problem Some think the fuel pump diaphram is leaking.
I bought a new pump but it does the same. Both pumps I have tried will
hold a vacum in the pulse chamber. I am out of ideas on how to fix this.

| Subject: | Engines and experimentation |
Hello Everyone,
I just got back to enjoying this thread; I had plans to be testing by now
but got laid up three weeks because of staph infection. I just received the
three blade prop last week and plan to try to make the first test next week.
I do not plan to add a NACA ring cowl at this time. The R-2800 is too
beautiful to cover up. My plane is a 5 TD, instead of the IV listed.

I love the look of a round engine on the Fox. They are clearly made for each
other. Jim Cantrell's IV, shown on Rotec's site, would be beautiful with any
engine but especially so with the Rotec. Jim, if you're out there . . . Nice
Work! Do you plan to add a NACA ring cowl?
Can't wait to hear performance numbers. Keep us posted John.

Marco + Lowell ; I do not have good numbers yet but should be good. Fuel
burn is supposed to be about 5 GPH.Engine is heavy also had to add ballast
to the tail . Rotec website is
www.rotecradialengines.com <http://www.rotecradialengines.com/> There
are a few other Kitfoxs shown there. Probably not the ideal engine for the
airplane but interesting .Call in the evening if anyone would like to
discuss it. John Murphy 636-532-0479
