| Subject: | Replacement tire source? |
I have a Model 2 Kitfox. It has been sitting for 8
years. I'm getting ready to sell it and need to
replace the tires. Could someone recommend a source
for the original tundra tires.
Thanks,

Pat,
I haven't completely decided. Part of me wants an RV10 so I can take my family
along on vacations, but the other part wants an RV8. My wife and boys like to
fly next to me not behind so that is the reason I did the 7 the first time around.
Who knows, there are a couple F1 Rockets around here and those look like
a ton of fun also. Time will tell but I have a feeling it will be a 10.

Good article John Mc Bean,
Like John said " we are business men" I think the Moderators should change their
attitude if they want this list to continue strong. I get many emails asking
what is happening on the Kitfox list ?
This list should be for all to help each other not just to say when a topic has
been ordered be shut down because someone does not want to read about it or
whatever.
I think that Matt Dralle should be concerned as he likely gets thousands of dollars
if not tens of thousands of dollars from "donations" annually .
I said my peace.

| Subject: | 2008 Kitfox Trip to Eastern Canada--First Notice |
This is the first in a series of notices about a trip Robert Oliver and I
are planning to fly our Kitfoxes to Eastern Canada this July. We plan to leave
around the second week of July from the west coast and Denver, and go north
to Saskatchewan, along the southern Canadian border through Manitoba, Ontario,
Quebec, and up the St. Lawrence River. Our ultimate goal is to reach
Labrador and Newfoundland (all weather-dependent, of course!). We'll return back
through the other Maritime Provinces, hopefully including stops at the French
islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and back to Maine and the Northeastern
States. The trip home would depend on a number of factors, but we would like
to end up at Airventure 2008 (Oshkosh) the end of July. The trip would take
three to four weeks, depending on where folks were coming from and the
weather, of course. We will be camping many nights and staying in lodges and
motels/hotels other nights. We may even find a friendly hangar or Kitfox driver's
home to stay in.
We are offering this trip to all Kitfoxers for all or part of the trip.
Canadians are especially welcome! A few considerations for you to think about
before you decide to go: 1) are you proficient in short field landings and
otherwise very experienced in your aircraft, 2) are you comfortable with tricky
weather conditions, 3) will you be able to get away for 3-4 weeks, 4) are you
comfortable flying over remote, adverse terrain (many times without roads
below), and 5) are you and your aircraft up to flying a hundred or so hours in
3-4 weeks?
Robert has flown his Kitfox to Alaska three times and once in his RV8A . I
lived and flew in Alaska for six years in the 70's, at which time I flew a
C-172 from Seattle up the Trench to Anchorage, and have flown my Kitfox to
Alaska twice. Last summer, I accompanied Robert in his RV8A. The point is, Robert
and I are both experienced in long, backcountry cross country trips,
including Western Canada.
If you think you may be interested, let me know, and be sure you have a
PASSPORT! We will keep you informed via this list and answer any of your
questions on a one-on-one basis off the list. For those of you who can't go along,
we
should have some interesting trip reports!

I live in Newfoundland, about 25 mi from Gander International the way the
'Fox flies J
I have been planning a trip across Canada from coast to coast to commemorate
sixty years of Newfoundland confederation. I expect the best route for you
to take would be to fly to Sept Iles, Qc and from there to Wabush in western
Labrador. It should be a nice easy flight from Wabush to Churchill Falls.
This is rough country so bring some survival equipment just in case.
Churchill to Goose bay should be about two hours and from there you can fly
direct to St. Anthony on the island.
If you fly through Labrador on the way East then you should head up the
coast through Hopedale and Makovic to Nain the most northern community in
Labrador. There are very few strips but the ones that do exist are well
cared for.
Getting back to the island there are few strips here too. Many are paved
around 100' wide all the info in the Canada flight supplement has all the
info you should need.
Gander is an International Airport but not too busy and the guys will have
no problems in getting in there. There is a flight training unit there so
they are used to slow planes. St. John's is another quintal of fish I'd
call ahead there. There is still the strip at Harbour Grace, across
Conception Bay from St. John's, Torbay airport. Harbour Grace is a grass
strip perched on the side of a hill with a bog at one end and one beaut of a
rock at the other end. To make things interesting the prevailing winds will
lead you to the bog L. A neat place to practice your short soft field
technique.
I hope the moderators here don't mind my telling you that you might come in
contact with a lot more Newfoundland/Canadian pilots through
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/canultracom/
As you can see from my signature floats are the best things to have around
here.
Keep in touch

I couldn't disagree more Dave. While I'm a relative newbie (5 years +/- on the
list) I think it's a great resource. It's been and continues to be a tremendous
help to me personally, first as a "finisher" (as distinguished from a "builder")
and now as a Kitfox owner/driver. The moderators have a tough job deciding
when to cut people off and, for the most part, I have supported their decisions.
While some give & take is useful, some threads do go on way too long with
people bickering over nothing. Other times, it gets personal and ugly. I'm
glad the moderators are there to say "enough." Somebody has to.
Nothing personal, just one dissenting opinion FWIW.

| Subject: | SuperSport Elevator Push Rod Length |
Hi,
Can someone with a SuperSport or Series 7 that has the two-piece
steel elevator push rods (not the one-piece aluminum rod) do a favor?
I need to know the length of each of the two pieces, either by
measurement or from your builder's manual.
Thanks in advance,
Mike G.

P.S. Please specify whether you included the rod ends in the measurement.
