    From: "Noel Loveys" <noelloveys@yahoo.ca> Paul do you know what the size of the properly crimped fitting is? I don't have a terminal (go-no go) gauge but I do have several sets of Vernier calipers. Noel ********************* Noel, Here is what you need to know. A friend had this bulletin saved (which I didn't even know existed until after my problem). It gives the nicopress size and procedures. Paul Seehafer Model IV-1200 912ul Aerocet amphibs **************************************** SERVICE BULLETIN #41 DATE: September 6, 1994 SUBJECT: Swaged Fittings on the Cross Brace Cables APPLICABILITY: All Float Equipped Kitfox's COMPLIANCE: MANDATORY; RESOLVE BEFORE NEXT FLIGHT FROM: SkyStar Aircraft Engineering Department A float equipped Kitfox suffered a brace cable failure during a very hard water landing. The cable failed by pulling through the swaged nico press sleeve. Since these sleeves are rated for the full breaking strength of the cable, our investigation focused on the swaging procedure itself. Before operating your float-equipped Kitfox again, inspect the swaging on the sleeves of the cross brace cables P/N 66021.000 for proper compression. The distance across the widest part of the oval in the swaged areas must be no greater than .340". If you find a sleeve that is improperly swaged and have access to a swaging tool, you can re-swage the sleeves to the proper depth. If you do not have a tool available, return the cables to us, and we will re-swage and return them to you. (Please call Customer Service for a RMA number before sending your cables to SkyStar for re-swaging). Upon successful inspection or re-swaging of your cable sleeves, note compliance with this bulletin in your aircraft logbooks. If you have any questions regarding this Service Bulletin, call Customer Service at 208-454-1443.

    Michel, The wing on the model IV-1200 has the new faster airfoil, vs the draggier undercambered (Avid) airfoil used on the model 1-3 Kitfox. So I wouldn't be surprised to know the IV will cruise 10 mph faster. Congrats on your test flight Geir! Nice looking airplane that sounds like it should ba real screamer!

    The SCBC is an informal group of pilots that gather every other Sunday for breakfast. They're gathering this weekend at Moncks Corner (50J). I'm thinking of joining them this time and I was wondering if there where any other Kitfoxes expecting to attend. -------- Luis Rodriguez Model IV 1200 Rotax 912UL Flying Weekly Laurens, SC (34A) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=129944#129944

    Subject: Rotax Voltage Regulator
    From: "Napier, Mark" <Mark.Napier@sciatl.com>
    The Key West regulator works well for me. I had a problem with my system and thought the regulator was the problem. Swapped it out with no improvement. Turned out the grounding was not right. The original one should work fine; $30 if you want it. Cheers, Mark Napier Time: 02:44:23 PM PST US From: Guy Buchanan <bnn@nethere.com> Subject: Kitfox-List: Rotax Voltage Regulator All, It looks like my Rotax 582 three phase voltage regulator's dying. (It will occasionally go over voltage. I can re-set it and get it to work, but it's happening more often now.) Does anyone have a recommended replacement? I've mounted it in the engine compartment to minimize electrical noise in the cockpit and I suspect things are a little hot for the stock Rotax unit. Has anyone tried any of the Harley replacements? Any after-market units? Or should I just increase the cooling to the Rotax unit?

    Subject: Re: Subaru oil loss
    Thanks Deke for the reply... My Sooby is the regular 100 hp NSI that has the oil tank on the fire wall and breather comming out the top left sid e. Unfortunately, that breather is spitting out oil at a qt an hour or more even when warming up on the ground. It has the baffles which were actually redone in 2001 acording to logbook entries. From what I've lea rned from the kind KF group is that the oil which is being pumped back i nto the firewall tank is splashing on the back of the tank and creating a foam, which blows out the breather vent. It isn't over filled and hol ds 2 3/4 qts of oil. I'm wondering if my oil has detergent in it that y ours doesn't have which would give me more foam creation than you. What kind of oil are you using? I've tried putting a bent tube in the inlet of the oil tank to keep it from hitting the back of the wall, but it ma de it worse. Please give more suggestions on how to fix the problem.

    Subject: S5 Sticky fuel valve
    MessageThanks Steve. While at Oshkosh I talked to the Andair rep and looked over their valves. When I told him that I wanted a straight through 0n-off valve where the "on" position of the handle was inline with the fuel flow and the "off" position of the handle was perpendicular to the flow. He told me that they don't make one like that. It seemed pretty standard to me. Which model was yours? To anybody, what did Skystar replace this "Imperial" valve with? Deke ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick To: kitfox-list@matronics.com Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2007 5:05 PM Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: S5 Sticky fuel valve I replaced mine with the Adair valve. ACS carried it. Yes a little plumbing but worth it. Not a big deal. Should be a pic on the photo section. Since your not running a kerosene heater you don't need the valve that goes with one :) Rick 8/17/2007 5:43 PM

    Subject: Re: Subaru oil loss
    Sorry to hear of your plight Layne. Yours appears to be the same as mine. "breather is spitting out oil at a qt an hour or more even when warming up on the ground" That's a lot of oil to be shooting out of there, especially when at idle power. At any power setting there should be zero oil coming from the breather so you definitely have something wrong in there. The fact that there was a log book entry about the baffle indicates there is a history, but unless it says why and what, it isn't a lot of help. It just tells you that somebody has been in there for some reason. These engines are pretty simple the way they work and not unique. Simply, crankcase pressure pulses push the oil from the pan through a check valve then up to the oil tank where gravity provides it to the oil pump to pressurize the engine. It's a typical remote sump system and works very well. The oil returning to the tank should not be able to get into the vent line unless there's too much oil in the tank or the baffle is either missing or modified in some way that it isn't doing it's job. Does it appear to have been changed? The first thing I would do is to drain all of the oil and replace it with the recommended oil for the engine. I think it was Castrol GTX. Also, while you're at it, remove the Oil tank and have a real good look at the inside of it to see if you can find a clue to why this is happening. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you right now. Let us know how it goes.

    Look at the photo section. You may be able to tell the model. I don't remember, it has been a while. I know it was in line no 90s to plumb , just some adaptors and different length tube. Not sure of the valve orientation but it had a nice detent lock for open and closed. Rick 8/19/2007 7:27 AM

    Subject: Subaru oil loss
    I may be coming in late and may be all wet here, but,,, What is the compression of each cylinder? If one or more (all?) is low, it may indicate a lot of blow-by which pressures the crankcase to push the oil out to the tank on the firewall. If there is too much blow-by, the loss may simply be due to the high volume of gas passing through the oil tank. This may not be a nice thought, but I feel it should be ruled out.

    What I was looking for was the width of the gauge at the bottom of pg 7-34 Par 7-148 the chart doesn't give the size of the opening for the terminal gauge .... Paul was able to find a reference to .340in.. I just finished re-crimping or swaging with a calibrated crimper so now all my crimps are within .001 in. of the .340. If it was my own tool I would have calibrated it for a couple of thousandths tighter.

    MessageThanks Rick. Sorry for calling you Steve. What photo section are you referring to? Deke do not archive ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick To: kitfox-list@matronics.com Sent: Monday, August 20, 2007 3:07 PM Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: S5 Sticky fuel valve Look at the photo section. You may be able to tell the model. I don't remember, it has been a while. I know it was in line no 90s to plumb , just some adaptors and different length tube. Not sure of the valve orientation but it had a nice detent lock for open and closed. Rick 8/19/2007 7:27 AM
