I had removed centre bolt in spinner and it's stuck solid so it looks like brute force. The planes been lying for 7 years so it could be corrosion or silicone... ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 01:10:39 AM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: Final Cerification From: "avtar412" Thanks guys, yes it's a great feeling after all that time between unpacking that big box and finally being finished..9 years! Here in NZ, it is said there are more aircraft per capita than any other country in the world, mind you there is only 4million people. About 1800klm top to bottom and plenty of nice mountains and flat plains. Kitfox dream land as heaps of strips about. Approx 50 klm across the strait between the two islands so plan to get a bit more time on the engine before I venture, but now that the distance restriction is off plenty of country here in the north to explore. We have a mountain near here, 8250ft and from takeoff to the top takes about 10min (on a nice day). Couple of times on the decent I've switched off and stopped the prop and it like being in heaven. Nice country airport near by with a long grass strip in case it doesn't start...but never a problem with a Subaru. Nice place to visit. John A.

There are several makers and sizes available although none I have found for 8" wheels are smooth (no tread) or have a round profile. You can find golf cart tires with a rib tread just a bit smaller (18" vs the 20' originals).

Glad to see you aren't one of them... there is a good chance that there may be silicone inside the spinner to hold it in place in case the bolt came out.

Worked gear and will keep them in case i want to go a few mph faster. I have the King fox tires on now - pics here http://www.cfisher.com/ If you want King Fox tires better get them now as Kevin is near out at MIPPI. One they gone there will be no more under 50 to 75 Each. I think he has a ad on Barnstormers for 15$ each. Do the King fox tires work ? Well if you have not tried some more radial off field stuff , well your Kitfox is likely begging to try it as they seem to be a perfect fit for them. King Fox tires from me .
