| Subject: | Re: 912 engine mount |
John,
When I changed out my 912UL for a ULS, I found there were dimensional
differences in the mount between the two engines (just as you
describe). I also discovered when discussing this with John McBean
that these same differences exist between the older and newer 912ULs.
I don't remember exactly what I did to make the necessary
adjustments, but it wasn't a major problem. I'd talk with John at
html://www.sportplanellc.com. His phone number there is listed as
208.337.5111.

No info on "barb-Tite". The off road race trucks are now using Parker "Push-Loc".
One heats the hose with hot water and push it on the fittimgs. Good for 250psi,
once installed. Use on high pressurte fuel EFI fuel systems. Fittings are
availble from multiple sources Like Parker, Earls, etc. Fittings are available
for flared AN or pipe threads. The hose is special not the standard SAE stuff
They are real easy to install and no clamps are used.

Like Ray G said, John is alive and well and busy building a boat in his
basement! Check out the photos, it is going to be a beauty.
Don Pearsall

Hi Don,
A friend of mine who monitors the Kitfox List sent this to me. Please pass
on the following to the List members:
I dropped off the List late last year because I have been all tied up in
boat building. Like building airplanes, it is very time consuming. I still
have my Series 6 Kitfox, so I have not given up flying. Just not doing as
much as before while the new project is still in process. Late last year I
completed the restoration of a J3 Cub. Two other pilots in the area want me
to restore their J3's, but I decided to first help my son build a 22 foot
fishing boat first. He is a "Fishing Nut" and needs a bigger boat. Family
comes first.
Believe it or not, but there is a boat building industry out there that
promotes "kit boats", just like "kit planes". You can not only buy the
plans, but also the plywood and fiberglass epoxy kits. The plywood kits
consist of all the necessary precut pieces of plywood to build the boat. No
transfer of dimensions from the drawings to the plywood. These boats come
in all sizes and styles that are constructed with marine grade plywood
sandwiched between layers of fiberglass. Like Experimental aircraft, they
can be customized to suit the builders wishes. Of course, there is a
builders forum on the Internet similar to the Kitfox List that is a great
resource of information for first time builders. That is where I spend a
lot of time. I dropped off the Kitfox List because I can't afford to spend
too much time monitoring two lists. We are about 50% done, with 80% to go.
If you are interested you can see pictures (right now 170) of our progress
on the following web site.
<http://gallery.bateau2.com/thumbnails.php?album=search&type=full&search=Pha
ntom+22>
<http://gallery.bateau2.com/thumbnails.php?album=search&type=full&search=Pha
ntom+22>
It starts out with day one and is continually updated as progress proceeds.
You can also get an idea as to how their forum is organized by clicking on
the following URL: <http://forums.bateau2.com/>
<http://forums.bateau2.com/>
You do not have to be a registered member to just view the topics and
pictures. Not trying to convert anyone, just want let people know there are
other worlds out there just like flying. I still love my Kitfox and will
get back to full time flying when the boat is done. Every now and then I
get calls from Kitfox pilots who want to talk airplanes and I still enjoy
that. BTW, my new e-mail address is <mailto:kingjohn1@comcast.net>
<kingjohn1@comcast.net>. I now speak two languages, both boats and
airplanes. I haven't been on the list for some time now, but I hope all is
going well with the Kitfox community and John McBean.

| Subject: | $100 hamburger video - not build related |
I have the video edited and if anyone is interested, contact me off list -
lcfitt@sbcglobal.net It runs about 32 minutes.
$7 will cover costs including shipping. Drop an email and I will respond
with my address and ship the same day. Drop a check in the mail and they
they will rub shoulders enroute.
AAQ (Answers to Anticipated questions)
1 - Always fly the airplane - Sometimes I don't get everything coordinated
and will not mess with the camera while in the sterile cockpit period - take
off or landing. Sort of a priority issue.
2 - The audio -
a) There is no mike input to the camera. Using the camera built in
microphone would produce only wind noise because that it is where it is -
Out front in the wind.
b) I use a portable digital recorder that records on compact flash cards.
It is new to me and I am still in the learning curve. Mike gain was set a
bit too high - there is nothing automatic on it.
3 - Final Cut Express, DVD Studio Pro, Toast on a Mac G5.
4 - The edit took the better part of three days.
5 - Did you enjoy the edit - Yes and no. I like re-experiencing the trip
especially the audio. I find it extremely frustrating at times though,
because some important sequences are unusable or entirely missing. When
flying with a group as I do, it is very rarely possible for a second take on
any scene. One exception - when we were ready to depart Cameron Park, we
got a cell call from the Jackson group saying they would be another ten
minutes before TO. That gave us another half hour in the run up area before
they would be overhead and frankly, a loss of concentration. Everything got
shut down and it wasn't until edit time that I became aware that the camera
was not recording as we departed CP. The scene of the CP TO was a take
two - shot early morning three days later. The TO at Shelter Cove the
same - record button neglected. I expected a long taxi to the threshold end
of the runway, but because of wind strength and I guess the longing for
home, we did an intersection departure at the short end. I just did the
prudent thing and flew.

| Subject: | Re: 912UL max and cruise RPM |
According to the Rotax 912UL manual, with a variable pitch propeller, 75% power
is achieved at 5000rpm and 27.2 in. HG manifold pressure. I gather that they
qualify this with the need for a variable pitch prop because it would be hard
to hit those exact numbers otherwise. My electric IVO prop comes in handy here.
In practice though, 5000rpm and 26 in. Hg manifold pressure gets me as close
to Vne as I care to fly in anything but dead calm air.

I run the prop as flat as it will go on take off, with static at 5400 before takeoff.
As I level off I hit the switch until I get 5400 and leave the throttle
all the way in. I leave it there until I go to land. My speeds going eastbound
to Arlington was 103kts ground speed ( about 120 mph)GPS, took me about an
hour to get to wenatchee from spokane. On the return I was up to 120kts ground
speed GPS, nice tail wind. When I landed in cle elum I had a nice head wind
and floated onto the runway, way cool, winds were 15+, ellensburg was reporting
15 to 30mph. I have the patriot IVO in flight adjust.

Hello, folks. Been a while since I was on the list. I have been building a
S5 since '95. Took an 8 year break. Anyway, looking to see if some of the
things that were available years ago are still around.
I am looking for the streamlining material for the tail brace and strut
brace. I think they came out with something around '98-'99 that was like
the PVC lift strut material. Also a wing tip landing light(more of a rec
light) kit. And I think someone came up with a speed controller to slow
down the trim motor to run at 1/2 speed. And any feedback on how did/does
that work? Thanks.

Anyone know an alternative strut than the stock for the 7's bubble doors?
Stock struts way too long since the bubble can't go as high up under the
wing. Also, is the 50lbs stock strut pressure normal? Seems to put a heck
of a lot of strain on the front door hinge.

Ok, gotta a little mystery that I am trying to solve, and would love to have your
thoughts and input on:
I am building a Model 4-1200 and am at the stage where I attach the Butt Ribs to
the fuselage (page WB-13 in the '94 manual). The drawing indicates that I am
to use #95006 rivets (1/8 x 3/8 AS) to attach the Butt Ribs to the brackets.
I can't find #95006 rivets anywhere. What does "AS" stand for (typo?).
So, I checked the parts list, and guess what??? No #95006 in the wing kit listed
anywhere. No 1/8 x 3/8 rivets listed either. However, in the "Cover and Finish"
inventory, there are #95006 rivets listed, but they are 1/8 x 1/8 PL rivets
(qty. 4).
Thoughts, comments, suggestions???
Thanks in advance,
Kent

I remember I was confused about those rivets too and had to ask on the list what
to use. I didn't make any notes in my log but it looks like I used 1/8th SS...stainless
steel. believe it or not the old skystar sent me enough rivets
to build 4 wings. I have lots of rivets left over. I think you can't go wrong
using the 1/8th inch stainless to attach the butt ribs. If you can't find some
in your kit let me know and I will mail you some.
AS must be a miss print, my manual says that too.

I'm sure John will come back at you; he has them.
(www.kitfoxaircraftllc.com) When you get over the price you can call

I went to my local hardware store where they have a large assortment of
stainless rivets. Instant gratification and only a couple of bucks for a
pack. Ron NB Ore KF IV

Kirt,
I went to the local hose shop and had them make specific length hose and
fittings with braided stainless cover. I spent less then 200 and it works
great. Also you can have the local Harley shop build them up, then you could
have a Harley sticker on it. :-)

I remember hearing that a lot of people were having trouble with leaking
break lines. I was wondering what solutions they came op with and some pics
if possible.

wingnut,
Wow, I must not have enough pitch or something is bad wrong. 5000 only gets me
90mph IAS and GPS. I do not have wheel pants or lift strut fairing or the radiator
speed fairing on yet but I cannot imagine it will make 30MPH, assuming you
are calling 120mph VNE. I have a 72in 3 bladed Warpdrive prop. Wow.

On the 4 speedster 912UL what are most using for max
and cruise RPM?
What airspeeds are you getting at those RPM on what
prop?
With the Ivoprop (ultralight), for takeoff, I use the
flatter climb pitch preset in the pattern slowing down
for landing, this gives 5800 for a max performance
takeoff (full throttle). After gaining sufficient
altitude, I blip the pitch to a steeper cruise, which
brings the RPM down to maybe 5200 or so, then screw
the power (throttle) back to 5000 RPM, with the
throttle back about 1.5" at low altitudes, maybe 1" at
higher altitudes. This gives about 117 mph at a
little less then 5GPH at lower altitudes at full gross
weight. It will go a little faster solo.
I should expirement more, but this seems to give the
most efficient balance. I have no MP guage, but if I
change the prop a little either way after setting the
power, it seems to go slower, ie too much pitch or not
enough. If the air is rough, I back off the power
some to with the same pitch to maybe 4800 RPM or a
little lower to cruise below manoevering speed. The
engine runs cooler with the Ivoprop than it did with
the GSC, but I have never tried cruising with full
throttle yet, even at high altitude.
I flight plan for the straight distance between
airports using 100 MPH at 5 GPH for 4 hours max,
normally 3 hours, especially where airports with gas
are scarce. This gives a margin for climbing,
crosswinds, headwinds, dodging storms, zigzagging
through passes, skirting airspace, finding
communications to close the flight plan, etc., with
more than sufficient fuel reserves.
