I have the heater core sitting on my workbench...for the last four years.
Never bothered to install it. I remember seeing some instructions in my
builders manual. Will fax it to you later today.

Subject: Kitfox-List: Hello Kitfox fans
I recently purchased a very complete 1992, model IV kit through ebay. The
two previous owners did little more than stare at the mountain of parts
for 15 years! Anyway, everything is in my garage now and things are
coming along nicely with most of the engine / firewall / cowling work
completed. I wanted to mount the single fan 6" heater core behind the
instrument panel but there are no instructions in my paperwork. I'd
appreciate it if someone could fax me that info. 416 7415144.
Thanks in advance

I put a post up not long ago saying I had this documentation, but when
approached by some list members to forward them along I could not locate
them. I am sure they are around somewhere. My apologies if you are one of
the ones impacted.

Sorry about the late report. I had a great time at Kitty Hawk. We had three late
cancellations (all for really good reasons) so the turn out was kind of light.
Duke Maxwell from Dexter, GA showed up in N981MS. It's a beautiful model 5 with
an IO240. John King from Warrenton, VA brought his award winning, 912S powered
model 5. His airplane gets my vote for most beautiful Kitfox on the planet.
I was last to arrive around 3pm in 824KF. We all took turns admiring each other's
airplane for a while before checking into the hotels followed by an evening
of good food and great storytelling. John capped the night by sharing pictures
of his last Kitfox gathering in the Bahamas!
Unfortunately, I couldn't make the second gathering at Campbell Field. I started
my trip with some moderate back pain from a recent injury that was really smarting
by the end of my 450 mile trip to Kitty Hawk so I decided to cut my trip
short and head for home Sunday morning.
Here's a link to a picture of the three Kitfoxes with the Write Monument in the
background. I'll post more pictures soon.

I might be missing a few more pages from the original cover and finish
section of my Mod IV 1050 rebuild. The two panels that cover the
triangular area below the stab are held on by a series of tabs. I cannot
devine what method is used to secure
them.

Luis, you ever fly over to triple tree? I have been flying RC there since
it opened several years ago. I am now into my kitfox III. We fly into
Laurens and drive there during the big RC fly-in. They say that when 2
airplanes fly into Laurens, its an airshow!

Dave, the Classic 4 manual instructs to drill the fuselage tabs 7/64 and use 6R
X 3/8" Truss Type A screws to attach the covers. The covers should be as close
to the stabilizer and as far foreword as possible. back drill through the
tabs and cover.
It also says you may want to postpone drilling and installing the covers until
you make some test flights. You might have to move the front of the Horizon stab
down to adjust pitch trim.
The tabs on my fuselage were hardened (from the welding I suspect) so I burned
up a couple bits drilling them. Then the truss screws didn't work because the
tabs were so hard the screws stripped without threading into the tabs. I then
drilled the tabs out larger and put some #6 machine screw U nuts on the tabs
and used #6 stainless machine screws.

Quite a pain. I had the same issue but mine were in the wrong places
to attach the metal. Had to make do with added tabs. Yes - Add the
metal after flight test in case the horizontal needs to be adjusted.
At least make sure the tabs have holes & screws that fit, and are in
places that allow the metal to be installed.

I've often wondered about visiting Tipple Tree but it's marked as a private airstip
on the charts and I understand that they mostly fly R/C aiplanes out there
so I've never felt like it would be appropriate. They had a fly-in recently
but I was not able to make it that weekend.
I know what you mean about Laurens but Hammerhead Aeronautical opened a repair
shop in the main hangar recently and it's been bustling ever since.

Subject: | Re: Instructions for horizontal tail. |
I change the position of my horiz. stab twice a year when going from floats to
wheels and back again.
I use the top hole on wheels ( front of horiz. stab up more)
And the bottom hole while on floats.
Plane is flyable either way but just a bit more stick pressure, but defiantly not
un bearable thanks to the Kitfox's light controls.
When testing you will likely find your best cruise 582 ? 5800 to 6000 rpm
and set your horiz stab accordingly. If you have trim is not as big of a deal.
I don't have trim and really the controls are so light it just extra weight
:)
Keep em light !!

I think I'm going to have to trade my Icom A22 hand held for an A200. W
ay too much static at 3000rpm and above. Any ideas what is causing this
and how to get rid of it? I really don't have the money for a panel mo
unt. Also, what's the cheapest way to get some wing covers for my serie
s5? The snow is starting to fly... Yikes! Layne, Anchorage, Al
