Good story. I was looking through the wind charts on aviationweather.org Saturday
night in preparation for a short cross country Sunday morning and I noticed
the crazy high winds in the north west. I wondered what it would be like flying
in that. Now I know :-).

Most interested parties have left already. I have plans to attend Oshkosh on Thursday
afternoon and evening. I have one phone number from the list to attempt
to get in on dinner if there is one. I would bee-line for the booth, but need
coordinates. Here is my cell if anybody is wondering about my progress, 860-985-4315.

oh boy, the heater, the winter days, hummm... it will be 98f. today.
What I do is put a funnel behind the radiator and put a hose to that and run it
into the cabin, instant heat and free.
can't wait for the winter flying, very fun, slip and slide on the taxiways, that
is if you hit the brakes, real fun, and those touch and goes with ice and snow
on the runway, way fun. Oh and don't forget the performance, way cool.

I got the IVO in april. The prop was a powerfin, which was 20mph slowwwweeeer.
Can't wait to see the performance in the winter with the IVO.

| Subject: | How many hours on a 582 |
I'm getting closer to flying my Model IV. I've been looking at
alternative engines but I'll fly it first on the existing one. It
occurred to me after reading some comments and websites that SOME folks
are flying their 582's far beyond the recommended 300 hours before
replacing the cranks.
That got me to wondering just how far it's practical. MY engine has 150
and I'll make it poke along a while longer. I'm curious to know how far
they'll go with just decarb and checking on schedule. I'd like to know
how other owners are making out. Please email me privately at
occom@ns.sympatico.ca as there's folks here who don't/won't own 2
strokes.

All,
Actually I would prefer to see any opinions/experience, anecdotal or
otherwise, on this topic posted here, as I also run a 582.
Thanks,

I finished repairing my fox last night. It sat tied down at ogd in a
microburst. Broken rubber hinges were the test of my patience.2 of the three
rod ends used the speedster tail were broken. (Were some broken before the
storm?) I never would have found them in a walk around, but felt the rudder
move while I was washing the plane. I will now use a flashlight to check
them forever.
Many thanks, to John as kitfox for taking time out of his busy schedule to
look up part numbers and send them for me. I am headed to billings Montana
this week, and john was very understanding.
