| Subject: | fantastic Oil Claims |
I don't wish to start a debate, either, but those fantastic claims are, in
general, just that. The demonstrations (I have seen one) are as the
promoters claim, except for the one thing they do not tell you, that there
is oil mixed in with the gasoline -maybe even 2-stroke oil- that permits the
engines to run for quite a while without seizing up. Just as a 2-stroke runs
indefinitely without any in-engine oil supply.
The trick is really quite simple, and worthy of Barnum & Bailey, any good
snake oil salesman, or diet promoter.
The next time you see a demo at an auto show/flea market, ask the promoter
to do it with his own vehicle.

| Subject: | aquamaster floats ??? |
I buddy just called and asked if I knew anything about aquamaster floats. He said
the guy he got them from said they were for a Kitfox. My buddy just picked
up a KF mod I from a guy in CA and is having it shipped up here. I did a quick
google searched and cant find anything on these floats.
If anyone has any info on them please let me know. This set is 12' long. I am
looking for buoyancy info if at all possible.
Thanks

I asked the previous owner.
The aircraft has been previously repaired after a former bolt rupture.
It looks like it hasn't been repaired very properly.
I'll see this weekend with a mecanic.

Many years ago a friend of mine ran a C210 in solid IFR for almost an hour with
no oil pressure. He had used Microlan.
wish we could use in the 912, but I think it will damage the clutch in the gearbox.

Here's a URL for Aqua Floats.
http://www.aquafloat.com/
Could the "Master" part of the name be one of their designations for a
particular series of their floats?
I remember flying a C-180 on Aqua floats in SE Alaska in 1969. Seems the
floats were OK, but a bit boxy looking compared with the Edo brand, as I
recall.

What assembly was the possible broken bolt holding together? Inquiring
minds want to know.

Hello all fellow foxers,
After all the posts about tail wheel trouble I feel obligated to share an
incident that occurred on September 1, 2007. My son and I were taking off
in our Model V when just before rotation I lost all control. The plane
veered left and made a 45 degree beeline to the side of the run way which
sat on top of a hill. There was no swerving left or right. There was just
no control. We cartwheeled nose over wing and ended upside down. The plane
was a total loss. My son and I were unharmed but our hearts were broken.
The FAA investigator says it may have possibly been due to a broken bolt
that held the assembly together. My son happened to be filming our takeoff
from the cockpit so I have the whole thing on DVD. I am only posting this
in hopes that it will save further heartache in the future. I welcome any
questions that anyone may have.
