What happened the Kitfox gathering that was supposed to happen at First
Flight and Campbell Field last weekend? A couple of us flew to Campbell
Field for soup on Sunday but there were no other Kitfoxes.

I had to bail out of the whole trip due to having the flu or some
other bug, but I never saw a post about "how much fun it was...blah,
blah, blah" from any of the participants...what about it guys?

I built and flew an Avid "B" for twenty years. My hanger partner has a
Kitfox IV 1050 that I am very impressed with so I looked into buying one for
myself to replace my 20 year old Avid. I then sat in the Mcbean's Kitfox 7 at
Oshkosh and fell in love with it. I ended up buying a Vixen long wing with a
912UL in it.
I love this plane and it is an amazing performer for 80 HP. 1200-1300
climbouts @ 1000 lbs. 38 MPH stalls with full flaps, 44 clean, and 115 MPH cruise
at 5300 RPM, 125 full throttle. Uses very little fuel (autogas), and has
lots of cabin space inside. The only downside is it is a big airplane and needs
to be trimmed out or it has heavy stick pressure, unlike my Avid that had no
trim and no stick pressure to speak of. It is not as maneuverable as the
smaller models but does fly well with a lot less adverse yaw. I would have to
say
it is not as fun to fly as my old "B" model Avid, but so much more
comfortable on trips, and can handle passengers with room to spare. There are
always
trade offs for performance, comforts and options. But my Kitfox V Vixen has a
great balance of performance, looks, and comfort. (Even if it is a
nosedragger)

Does anyone have tensiles of a rod end used ? \
Aircraft Spruce lists the tensile strength of rod end fittings in their catalog.
The number 7000# comes to mind on 5/16". What ever the number x 4 divided by
gross weight and you get some number. factor in impact load vs. static load
and you get some number.......
A look at all(?) the cessnapipertaylorluscomehuskey types and you will find essentially
the same fittings sized for weight/category.
Moving on...
