Good morning Don. I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering
if you were still with us. Enjoy your new retirement and hopefully we
can still stay in contact occasionally.

Ps: Perhaps if you offer up the "Kitfox Safe" you developed, someone
might want to run with it?

Guy,
I hate good byes but this Kitfox list has been the most
beneficial things I can ever think of for building and flying a Kitfox.
We've had some good time and some bad times but the good has always
outweighed the bad.
Of course, I've sold my Fox and have already reached out on
doing new things. Life is always a challenge.
I've got to the point of deleting almost all "List" post so I
may as well go on to the new things.
With some regret, Please pull the plug on my subscription to the
Kitfox list. If you would like, you can post my appreciation to the
list on my behalf.

It is with a little bit of sadness that I retired dosmythe@cox.net
today, per Don's instructions. Don's been on the list a while and a
valuable contributor, but he has better things to do now, (hard to
imagine,) so I wish him well. It is up to you, fellow builders, to
take over where he left off.

It's been a few years, but when I did my Model IV I bought
streamlined chromoly tubing from Aircraft Spruce and Murle Williams
welded it up to make a set of horizontal stabilizer struts for me.
Murle may also have the trim motor "pulser" you are asking about.
Check out his web site <http://MurleWilliamsAviation.com> or give him
a call at 602-978-0553.
As for how they work, the ones I am familiar with turn the power on
and off to the motor in very quick pulses, which has the effect of
slowing down the trim movement.

| Subject: | Question re: flaperon jig |
I have some pages in my old Denney assembly manual that show a jig of
some sort clamping the flaperons for alignment purposes. They appear as
blocks with the flaperons profile inside the clamping area. If these
appear in later manuals are there any directions as to material etc. or
how to make these? The old manuals are short on guidance in many areas
and this is one. I'll make them from soft balsa or foam if nobody has
any better idea.

Dave,
I made them from pine, I think balsa or foam is a great idea. The aluminum
on the flaperons is fragile enouth that you will not put forces on the jigs
that would distort the balsa or foam if that is what you choose.

| Subject: | Question re: flaperon jig |
The jig is made so that you will have a neutral position to start from . I
made mine from a piece of oak with the aileron cut out on on end then at the
other end was a block to keep the aileron at a set angle 0 if I remember
right,It really worked out well I made no adjustments once the aircraft was
completed,If anyone is interested I will look in my manual for the exact
info needed to fabricate these alignment jigs, I have a model 5

Some approaching days you dread. You know they are
coming and wish, after they are gone, you had bribed
with free beer, or something, to put the day off a
little longer. Gonna miss Don. Just wanted to say
that.
I think he saved a few lives and some grief for
listers. Thanks!

Giovanni,
I use 5800 for take off, and climb. My cruise is almost always 5300 and
gives me 115-118 mph at medium load. If heavy loaded it will drop to 105-110
