After flying for a couple of hrs I landed at a public airstrip and was out of my fox for an hr,when I started up and taxied to the runway for takeoff I noticed my trim light position was not coming on,after getting out and inspecting my trim tab I found it stuck in the full down trim position,after pulling the servo apart I found that one of the nylon gears had come out of position,I realligned the gear and put the servo back together.The trim sys seems to work ok again..so far....,I trying to figure out what caused this, did someone play with my trim while I was away from my plane and over run the servo,this seems likely due to there were a few people around my plane at this strip and I dont have to have my key or ignition on to work the trim...or ..could it be a short in the wiring somewhere,but would it go to a full down position if it was a short...........Anyways just wondering if any of you guys have had this happen......

However, when I installed a Jabiru in my Kitfox 3, I looked at the Skyfox cowling that is made for the Jabiru. It would have fitted if ... I did a lot of modifications on the glareshield, panel and windshield. Because while the Kitfox 3 (and 4, I believe) is rounded in a section of an arc, the Skyfox (and the Avid Flyer, I believe) are flatter on the top than on the sides. So, it may fit if you are prepared to do the modifications. I didn't wanted to so I made my own cowling by keeping the aft end and moulding a fore end long enough to house the Jabiru. It doesn't look any longer like the nice Kitfox round cowling but it works well and keeps my air-cooled engine just nice and dandy.
