Thats what mine wanted. Also, I have a Skystar catalog from 1999 that has three view drawings in the back. The model fives they show are the Voyager (tri gear smooth cowl) and the outback (tail wheel tube gear, smooth cowl). if one of those is what he needs I can snail mail a copy. -------- Tom Jones Classic IV, Phase one 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=120000#120000 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 06:59:23 AM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: Arlington 2007 From: "Tom Jones" I hope to be there too.

Damn, now I'm gonna have to re-fly the first couple of thousand miles. : ) Hey Jimmie, can I stay at your place again? Another GPS fact that I just discovered....when the "flights" log gets full, it starts to overwrite the earliest ones. When I went to update my pilot's logbook, the first day of flying on this trip was gone. Fortunately, I had written those figures down, as well as all the rest of the trip, so it will be easy to transfer those figures to my logbook...wouldn't want the 'net/FAA cops to bust me on that one.
