Subject: Kitfox-List: Propeller for Kitfox III, 582 C 3:1
Hello All,
I'm happy to report that I just passed my DAR inspection and am approved to
start Phase I flight testing. My Kitfox is a Model III that was purchase
back in 1992 and slowly assembled by several different owners in the US and
Canada. I finally bought it last year and finished it. That's 15 years
build time and 5 builders in 2 countries, it might be some kind of record.
Anyway, I need to buy a propeller. I was wondering if anyone has an IVO
medium 2 blade they would be willing to sell, or a Warp Drive 68" 3-blade.
I have a 582 with C drive and 3:1 ratio. Tried to order an IVO 2 blade
ultralight but IVO wouldn't sell it to me because of the vibration/cracking
issue. I have been leaning toward the IVO because it has been a really good
prop for me in the past and I think it might be a bit more efficient than
the others, but I'm willing to try any good option.
I have a nice 70" Warp Drive 3-blade tapered-tip aluminum-hub RH tractor
prop if anyone is interested in buying or trading. I think it would work
well on a 912 or other RH tuning engine.
I've really appreciated all the info over the last few months of building.
And I'm even getting an education on biofuels and global warming to boot!
Thanks,
Ken Harrison

| Subject: | Attachment fitting at top of lift struts. |
Hello all,
I have read a good deal in the archives regarding the connection to the
wing at the top of the lift strut. Is there a definitive method to
determine whether those fittings are on far enough. Mine do not have a
witness hole and I'm very nervous about not having enough threads. I also
see a small amount of surface rust on the threads. That whole connection
just makes me nervous. I would think a connection that important, and under
that much stress would have all the bolts in sheer, not tension. If those 8
or ten threads fail, your cooked.
Has anyone heard of a Kitfox failing at that point.other than the load
testing that was done at the factory?
Does anyone have a secondary or beefed up system on his plane?

Ken,
I have never heard of a failure at this point. I also believe the factory
never was able to cause a failure at this point. I did witness many of the
test that were done one the classic 4 and was impressed with the results.
