There are three hotels within a mile of the Fi rst Flight airport (FFA). I was planning on giving them all a call tonight to ask how busy they expect to be. I'll post some more details about hotels later today. If we can get enough people to make reservations, maybe we ca n get a group rate.> > There's no FBO at FFA. There aren't really any facil ities at all. In fact, they have anchors in the ground but no ropes so brin g your own tie-down rope. Also, there's no fuel so make sure you have at le ast enough fuel to reach the nearest airport. Dare County Regional (MQI) is only 7nm to the South West so that shouldn't be too hard.> > --------> Lui s Rodriguez> Model IV 1200> Rotax 912UL> Flying Weekly> Laurens, SC (34A)> > > > > Read this topic online here:> > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtop ========================> _ ========================> > > _________________________________________________________________ Help yourself to FREE treats served up daily at the Messenger Caf=E9.

The plane had to be jerked off the dolly as the brakes were set to dynamite as soon as the load was removed form the dolly. One of the local pilots used to take off around a half a dozen planes that way in an afternoon. While he was ferrying the planes to Octagon pond the rest of the gang would hook up the dolly, tow it back to the hangar and lift the next plane aboard using the overhead crane. By the time the pilot got back to the airport, by taxi the next plane would be waiting for him. The only plane in the hangar that didn't use this system was CF-MPZ which at that time was a DHC-2 used by the Mounties I think it had Amphibs. I've checked the registration a few times in the past few years and it is now used by a Bell 212 owned by a company in B.C.. In the fall of the year at that time the fire fighting unit had to purge their tanks. S o they used to spray down the grass on the side of the active with foam and everyone would land in the foam. It only took about a fifteen minute separation to allow time for a small crane to load the planes on the dolly and transport it to the hangar where it would be unloaded so the dolly could be used by the next plane. Usually all the planes were landed within a couple of hours great stuff that foam sits on top of the long grass for hours. I doubt they would let you try it today.

I looked closer at that Elbow today that I modified and it looks like it was just a Elbow that was hand made rather than a Rotax Elbow. It you look at the pic you will see the Rotax radius is not as tight as this one. I will likely have to play around a bit more now and see what else can be had. Has anyone else tried this yet ? I figure that I am still short from Rotax specs. -------- Rotax Dealer, Ontario Canada Flying Videos and Kitfox Info http://www.cfisher.com/ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=139078#139078 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/rotaxpipes_012_150.jpg ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 06:53:35 PM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: High EGT From: "dave" Jareds, I run my 582 at the 3rd notch on stock needles spring till fall. Once temps get to freezing area I will lower clip to bottom notch. Member , your EGT reading is just a indication of what is going on in exhaust but your plugs will tell the true tale. EGts are great and usefull but not necessary calibrated all the same. -------- Rotax Dealer, Ontario Canada Flying Videos and Kitfox Info http://www.cfisher.com/ Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=139081#139081 ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 07:45:57 PM PST US From: "Cudnohufsky's" <7suds@Chartermi.net> Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: IVO prop blades for sale Clint and John, Thank you for your replies on the prop, that end of my project has been stalled looking for a prop, I purchased a GSC from another 912ul Kitfox upgrade but the hub did not fit my engine.
