Thanks John, I ordered mine several years ago so I couldn't quote the current
price. It's been installed for a while so I don't know the exact thickness but
it was a noticeable difference. It has a much more solid feel than the Lexan.
There was an chain on the list quite some time ago about the stress at the
bend in the Lexan. A friend of mine in the Chicago area installed his windshield
before me. There was a bang and the Lexan broke in half. If you're going
to use the Lexan, you have to make sure the edges are really smooth. Since
the LP is blown to the correct shape, there is no stress at the bend.
For that price, I'd do it again.
My windshield is clear. I found a bronze tinted film film that blocks IR/UV to
try and keep the plane from turning into a greenhouse. I cut it to fit the
upper part of the windshield. The only problem I had with that is that applying
it was a project for a winter afternoon. I did it on the family room floor.
The film carries quite a static charge and it attracted every clump of cat
hair in the house.

I've been lurking here for a few weeks and have noticed something unusual. Very
few of the postings here are for problems. I'm selling a Vans RV-9A QB that
I've put approx. 547 hours into building. I've become very frustrated where it
seems every part you put in has to massage in order for it to fit right. On
the Matronics RV list, many of the postings are from people having trouble which
I don't see on this list. Are these aircraft that much more builder friendly,
is it the factory support or both? Just curious.

| Subject: | Re: LP Windshield |
Something to keep in mind about the LP windshields and doors is that
they're made of acrylic, not polycarbonate (lexan). Lexan is very tough
and bendable, but scratches if you look too closely at it. It has its
advantages, but the LP acrylic units, which is the same as what is used
on certified aircraft, is much more scratch resistant and very strong.
With proper care and hangared, it will probably last more than ten
years, maybe much more. I have both the LP windshield and doors that
have been on since early 2000 and still look as good as new. They're
easily polished with car wax.
Yes, they're more expensive, but in the long run, they're actually
cheaper than Lexan.

Part of it may just be the timing. If you've only been lurking for a
few weeks, you may not have hit the peak "problem hour". When I
started to build my Kitfox IV, about 3 years ago, it annoyed me
greatly that people were talking about flying, and not about
building, which is what I wanted to read/talk about. I'd post a
question about building, and check a couple of hours later, and find
a gazillion posts about speeds, temperatures, prop settings, etc.
Now that I'm done and flying, I've become one of the annoying
ones....but I don't want to take ALL the credit. : )
In reality, the instructions are very good that come with the kit,
factory support is good, and it's a lot simpler kit to build, from
what I've seen of the RV's. Of course different skills are required
between the two makes.

I'd guess that it has more to do with the shear number of people building RVs compared
to Kitfoxes (Anyone know the numbers?). Not to say that more people wouldn't
be building Kitfoxes if they could. While the Kitfox design is very mature,
the current company hasn't really been around very long and there was a period
after the previous company closed shop where you couldn't buy a Kitfox if
you wanted to.

Having built much an RV7 and now a Kitfox, I would say that the Kitfox is not any
easier to built just different. They are really completely different types
of construction. The RV was a ground up built of aluminum and rivets. With
the Kitfox, the fuse comes built all you do is assemble the sub-assemblies and
install them. The wing is a different matter unless you have the quickbuild
wing which mine is thank goodness. Everybody asks me how I learned to build airplanes
and all I say is that I learned to read and follow instructions...all
I am doing is assembling an airplane not building or designing. It is not much
different then building my 5-year old's legos (that is a bit of a stretch but
really not a lot different until you start making mods, then it gets fun).
The Kitfox support is great and the manual doesn't leave a whole lot to the builders
imagination. I must defend the RV as well, my RV kit was completely pre-drilled
and pre-punched so it went together like a puzzle and was a joy to build...actually,
I wish I still had it and plan to build another in a couple years.
Both are awesome airplanes...completely different in their construction and mission.

I'm building a Zenith 801, and have already built a series 5 Kitfox. I think
a lot has to do with your own expectations.
I originally expected that these kits would be high quality, the parts would
fit well, etc. So I was encountering difficulties all the time, and was
frustrated a lot.
Then I changed my mind set to - OK these aren't really kits at all
but a loose collection of semi-formed parts, and an even looser set of
crude notes that are called "instructions". With people who don't
neccesarily care if you finish it, providing support (since they already
got your money for the stuff) :)
After I made that mental switch I no longer have nearly as many problems
because I don't expect anything to fit right any longer, and I don't expect
anybody to help me either so now I'm mentally prepared for the worst
going into each part of the project, everything now just seems so much easier.
:)
Helping my kids with Lego projects, now THAT is the real challenge!

| Subject: | Re: 2-stroke Oil |
Hi Guy,
All of us 2-cyc drivers know that snake oil has fewer opinions going for
it than 2-cyc oil.. . . That having been said, for the first 100 hours
on my 532, I used AV-2 (from CPS) and then did a"top" overhaul - the
rings were stuck. I knew that Rotax used to recommend Pennzoil, don't
know if they still do. But back then, that was enough for me. So I
switched to Pennzoil 4130. After 200 hours more, no stuck rings. As we
know that 4130 oil has been renumbered and put into 8-oz bottles. That's
ok by me - rings are doing much better, even with smaller bottles. But
the gas I use, the kind of flying I do, my B gearbox as opposed to your
C box, the 582 vs. the 532, my GSC prop vs your Warp, my warm-up
procedures, etc., are all different from yours. I just know that I would
not make an experiment out of 2-cyc oil for the inconvenience of a
smaller bottle size.
Best regards,
