    Subject: Speedster Door Latch
    Since there has been alot of talk about door latches I thought I'd check my boxes to see what I had. My kit is aClassic 4 Speedster manufactured in 09/94. The pieces I have for the door latches are not the same part #s as listed and shown in the manual,in fact the pages are from "The Denny Aeroplane Co". There is a suppemental page that came with it that has diagrams of the part #s I have and measurements to make the latches.Well, pilots and engineers do not speak the same language,and I having a hard time trying to figure it out. Also, nowhere does it same where they are to be installed or how. If anyone has a picture or a diagram the can send or anything other ideas on the speedster door latch it would really help. On list or off list is fine. Leon Morris/Classic 4 (94)/ 60%/ Flower Mound, TX

Leon, your kit came out of the factory the same month my classic 4 did...9-94. I remember the door latch instructions did not match the parts I was supplied. If I remember right I talked with the factory people and they sent me the new correct instructions to match the parts. I will check my building notes and take a picture and get back to you on this to see if yours is the same situation. -------- Tom Jones Classic IV, Phase one 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=165614#165614

    Subject: Weight Affected by Color of Plane
    From: "SkySteve" <Wilson@REinfo.org>
    I am planning a new color and design scheme for my plane. My wife is a painter of fine art so I consulted with her regarding both. While we were looking at the various colors of tubes of oil paint she has, I discovered a great discrepancy in the weight of different colors, with white being the heaviest. Red seemed to be very light weight. Is this true with airplane paint also? Are there colors that are much heavier than others? If so, which colors are light weight and which colors are heavy weight? Also, how much weight (approx) will any paint job add to a Kitfox? Seems to me I remember years ago an airlines (I think it was Braniff) repainted their fleet and actually had to remove seats to accommodate the extra weight of the paint. -------- Steve Wilson Huntsville, UT Kitfox I-IV 85DD 912A / 3 Blade Warp Drive Convertable Nosewheel &amp; Tailwheel Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=165623#165623

    Okay, I,m back with some door latch info. My 1994 Classic 4 manual was delivered with one page of door latch instructions from Denny aerocraft that no way resemble the parts shown. The attached pictures show the latch and the first page of the five pages of instructions I received later that match the parts shown. Leon, let me know if you need hard copies of these instructions. -------- Tom Jones Classic IV, Phase one 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=165625#165625 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/door_latch_instructions_291.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/door_latch_outside_232.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/door_latch_inside_208.jpg

    I was having the same issue with the RPM not getting to 5K. I fooled with it (one whole day) moving the pitch down till I got to 11 Deg. and it now works just great. The Plane comes right off the ground and climbs at 1150 FPM and with 2 it is right around 1000 FPM. My friend Ray has a IV but his has a 912 ULS and it has 16 Deg. in the same Warp Drive prop. His is not as loud as mine upon take off. It was kinda the reason that I was looking (another thread) to move up from the 912 ULS that was before I joined the list. My ground RPM did start coming up till I got closer to the 11 deg number and now it is just great. The past owner had the pitch at 20 and it is a good thing that he never tried to fly it cause it would have needed 5K worth of runway and no trees at the end. It has a good cruise at around 115 / 1500 feet MSL /4900 RPM this past Sunday. -------- Lee Fritz in owings Mills Md. 2002 KitFox-IV Classic/912UL/Warp drive prop/100% Complete (just adding the Extras now) /71 hours time on plane since Aug 07 &quot;Have your feet on the Pedals and keep reaching for the sky&quot;.

    Subject: Re: Weight Affected by Color of Plane
    I'm not sure of airplane paint, but your mention of red being very light in weight reminded me that red is, or was, the worst color for fading. It seems to attract light, UV, or whatever, and fades badly. One look at old barns, for example, will show the fading of the red color. I've seen lots of red cars that will show fading long before cars of equal age but painted a different color.

Of course the paint is much lighter dry than it is in liquid form due to the solvents evaporating. I do know that a wise old airplane builder once told me "Fancy paint jobs are heavy". -------- Tom Jones Classic IV, Phase one 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=165627#165627

    Lynn, I agree that red seems to fade very easily. And Tom, it makes sense that dry paint is very much lighter than wet paint. Of course, all of the paint we examined was wet, of equal amount. But there was a very large difference is weight, I mean the white was 2 to 3 times heavier than some other colors. Blue was also very light weight. -------- Steve Wilson Huntsville, UT Kitfox I-IV 85DD 912A / 3 Blade Warp Drive Convertable Nosewheel &amp; Tailwheel Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=165632#165632

    Hi Steve, I've flown for 25 years, from Cessna 150s thru many Air Force birds thru commercial Boeings/Airbus types.? Now in Airbus 320s and a yellow Series 6 Kitfox (good thing for the kitfox or I'd lose touch with "real flying" and the real flying community). Our fox is a great airplane design, but so drag-laden compared to a clean airframe design that to me personally it makes no difference what paint is used.? There would be many other theoretical changes to approach before I'd sacrifice the cool-factor available with an experimental aircraft paint job.? (gap seals, aerodynamic fairings everywhere, vortex generators, winglets/drooped tips, prop choice/pitch adjustments, etc... The paint is what makes this type of project personal, and a man's paint job is a reflection of personality over functionality.? -Now on the other hand is a personality like my brother's.? He's into ultra-light backpacking; his sleeping bag may be cold, but it only weighs 14 oz. and packs into a fist-sized ball.? To sacrifice pack weight he cut the handle off his plastic eating spoon, counts out his bio-degradable t.p. squares down to the pre-documented necessity, and relies on nasty (but light) iodine tablets instead of?a water pump to take care of his creek water.? In other words, he is a weight fanatic...not that there's anything wrong with that. His weight savings gives him great pride and possibly an easier trip up the mountain. The somewhat diluted point being, a man's paint job is a personal thing. (by the way, American Airlines still seems to have their fleet unpainted. The weight savings at that scale and when almost everything else is aerodynamic equates to a great fuel savings/especially when burning over 3000 gal/hr). Good luck w/your decision.? By the way, I always wanted to have some nose-art painted on my Series 6...Something slinky in honor of the WWII birds/pilots.?Must be nice having an artist in the family.

    205AK is red and to get an even color on all of the parts you have to paint the whole plane white then go ontop of that with the red.

    Subject: Re: Weight Affected by Color of Plane
    I guess that it is only reasonable to assume that different pigments made from different compounds would have different weights. For example I think the white pigment is usually lead, zinc or titanium compounds.... all pretty heavy. Iron oxides are the basis for some red paints and are a little lighter. Black paint which it is only reasonable to assume would be the heaviest... heavy colour and all that is actually quite light because most of it is soot, or more correctly carbon. Just for fun try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigment different colours are hyperlinks to additional pages... Now for a question for Lynn... You have been in the photographic industry long enough to know this... when colour photos fade what colour do they fade to? :-) Another question... if it is true that red fades faster why do farmers ever paint their barns a colour that would require more work?? After you think of an idea or two look at http://people.howstuffworks.com/question635.htm FWIW my plane isn't white and red, but white with Day-Glo orange with navy blue trim. I haven't found where the builder got the day glo.

    Subject: Paint Choices - Was "Weight Affected by Color of Plane&
    From: "darinh" <gerns25@netscape.net>
    SkySteve, It seems counter-intuitive to me that red would be lighter than white simply because reds always require much higher amount of pigments (solids) than do the whites. I would think that the pigment would be what gave the paint weight (at least when dry, obviously solvents, reducers, etc. add weight when uncured). About the fading issue...you are right, darker colors tend to fade quicker than the lighter ones...having said this, the technology that goes into UV protection and paint chemistry today means that a quality paint that is taken care of will easily last 20-30 years. My last kitfox was 9 years old and didn't show any fading (Aerothane paint) and my new Series 7 has a majority of the scheme that is red. I chose to paint (I am painting now) my series 7 using PPG Delfleet paints. Yes, I used Polyfiber fabric and undercoatings and know they strongly recommend not using auto paints...according to them, any other paint other than Ranthane, Aerothane or Poly-tone are not does not meet the STC requirements. However, I found out that Aviat uses PPG Delfleet (same stuff I am using) to paint all their Huskies and they are obviously certified aircraft. I don't have anything against the Ranthane or Aerothane, I just wanted a system that I knew the spray characteristics of and the PPG was it. I have never sprayed Aerothane or Ranthane but have heard they can be very tricky to spray. The Delfleet is a breeze for anyone who has sprayed automotive paints before. For anyone wondering, the Delfleet line of paints are extremely flexible, in fact, one color I am using was specially formulated for Aviat. PPG in my mind is one of the best paint manufacturers out there so I trust their products...after all, if it is good enough for a $200k Husky, it should be overkill for my Fox. Just some interesting information I thought I would pass along on other paint choices for those making the decisison. -------- Darin Hawkes Series 7 (under Construction) 914 Turbo Kaysville, Utah Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=165650#165650

    Draw up your nose art on your computer and have an auto customizer make decals... That way if you get a scratch in the wring place you can always replace the nose art the same as original.

Looks like a good design, almost like the luggage pods on the super cubs and C206s. -------- Darin Hawkes Series 7 (under Construction) 914 Turbo Kaysville, Utah Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=165676#165676

    Subject: Re: Luggage Pod : For Sale
    From: "rcsfca" <r66rc-matronics@yahoo.com>
    I bought it from him this morning. In case any of you were wondering WHY he was selling the pod, it's because the plane was wrecked in an accident several years ago but the pod (and John!) survived.
