... What? Incredible what people do in order to get your money, Jeff. QuickTime
plugin is free. Of course, they try to sell what they call QuickTime Pro, that
has more functions. Anyway, I converted it now to Flash. I guess you have the
Flash plugin in your browser. Try this:
http://home.online.no/~michel/tmp/Fjorden.html
Anway, it's not a very interesting video. I have only a tiny Sony camera with limited
video ability. But the sky was so nice with the low clouds and the sun
piercing through them ... of course, it is not half as nice once on the video
but ... as a pilot you'll know how to adjust for it! :-)

not provide much protection, I built a framework out of conduit, and covered
it with a tarp that is designed for covering lumber on semis. It has worked great
for about 2500 miles so far, and the plane has been "hangered" in it here
in Florida for the last three months. It takes about five minutes to roll it
out using the 12 volt winch that I installed. I haven't noticed any corrosion
or other ill effects from leaving it in the trailer. Of course, it isn't air
tight, and it isn't as secure as a rigid sided trailer would be, but has sure
worked well for me. The airport charges $30 per month to leave the trailer
in a tiedown spot, (beats $$$$ for hanger fees). I can probably take some pics
if you are interested.

Sorry Deke,
I'm going ask everyone to drop this line of attack as it's
not even remotely Kitfox related. Anyone wishing to pursue it further
please do so off-line.

Deke,
I try my best to either skip the nonsense or forget it ASAP. The last one that
comes to mind is the one where a pilot griped about being attacked at his local
airport for making landings at each runway (touch and go) and the local AH complained
that he was an unsafe pilot. Then everyone on the list jumped in and
debated whether or not he was an unsafe pilot because he was landing at all the
runways. That example is typical of what I'm talking about. I really don't
believe that there's any pilot on the list who cares about that type of nonsense.
No one is going to change their flying attitude because of all the little
girl chatter about their perception of what constitutes good practice (insofar
as it is merely nonconstructive criticism). Debate is good if it doesn't fall
into the category of nit-picking.
My comment here did not relate to Guy's apology other than to say to everyone out
there "THICKEN YOUR SKIN!" NO APOLOGY NECESSARY!Part of the problem here is
that we run out of technical questions so we devolve into personal junk. Then
some get offensive about that. Giant waste of time. Think KITFOX, not $%ITFOX.

It's 22' x 7000# gross. The Fox fits with just inches to
spare. 24' would be better because then you'd have space for cabinets
and things at the end, but it bumped me up to 10k# gross and was just
too heavy for me to deal with. As it is I have plenty of storage
above and below the wings, I just have to be careful that anything
above can't come down in an earthquake or something like that.

Yes but the interesting point is that you can clearly see that it is one of the
blades that hit the mast. Now, I am not sure I understand this: A prop blade
is shaped like a wing profile, right? The faster it spins ... it should be pulled
>>away<< from the mast ... shouldn't it?

Guy, I have a doctorate, but I guess, not enough education to be able decipher
which chatter is acceptable and which is not. Seems like lately it's 90% chatter
and 10% Kitfox. Since I can't figure out the "good" chatter from the "bad,"
please drop me from the list. Thanks much. Keep 'em flyin'.
Best of luck to all you builders. Hope to meet you all someday. John

in the vids at the bottom of that link, is a clip of the Valdeze AK STOL contest
that we have every year. nothing like a PA 18 getting of with less than one
rotation of the tire. N02 is cool stuff.
The bushwacker from big rocks long props is the one you see landing. Pretty impressive.

Michel, in the case of the wind generator the wind is turning the prop which is
facing into the wind. Think about it.
The short take off cub is the "Carbon Cub" built by Cub crafters as a one off with
one purpose...win the Valdez short take off contest which it did at 19 feet.
Its for sale for something like 200 Gs. if anyone wants to buy it I'll find
the add for you.

Hi,
I found the possible fixes at this site.
http://www.rotaxservice.com/rotax_tips/rotax_troubleshooting.htm
Then the Rotax Heavy maintenance Manual on trigger coils had the rest of the information.
You can download the manuals here also.
good luck

The blade that hit the pylon was not the first blade to depart. It's
really interesting in slow motion. The 1st blade departs and is hit by
the 2nd blade. At the same time, the whole thing nods down around 45
degrees and the 3rd blade impacts the pylon and departs. Gyroscopic
effect in play.
I flew gyroplanes for some years, and similar things happen when a
rotorblade departs. Off it goes, but the remaining one will typically
eat the fuslage as it destroys itself and all attached.
All this is pretty off topic though. The STOL takeoffs are just
amazing. Man.. in his own fuslage length. That's cool!
