I put on Vgs last fall, really not alot of gain but I have not taken them off
yet . I have on Wings only. I will tell you that they have reduced the buffet
prior to power on stalls and made power off stalls pretty well just a controlled
mush.
Kitfox is pretty well equipped with stock wings, VGs ok but not nesessary for great
STOL performance.
You guys should get some videos of your Kitfox in Action no matter if a 100 foot
take off or 700 foot like some of the heavy ones.

A buddy bought these tires and side by side with the king fox they are identical,
except they dont say king fox on them. The mold lines and little rubber tits
are in the exact same places as the KF tires.

Steve, it is alot cheaper to go with the original KF hubs and Douglas 8" wheels.
I found hubs for about 40.00 each, a set of hubs for 50.00 and used the brakes
from the original Matco Wheels. You just have to get little lugs welded to
the wheels to bolt the brakes on. All up with tires I have less than 300 into
them.

Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Intercom
Pat,
Rather that an intercom, I installed a Micro-Air M720 radio with side-tone that
serves as an intercom. The unit is tiny, fits into a 2" hole and works great.
The only disadvantage is that with the side-tone, the intercom mic is always
"hot" can result in alot of background noise. To counter this I have a toggle
switch to turn the intercom off/on. I advise passengers, "if you have to talk
to me, flip this switch." Keeps the chit-chat down.

Dave:
There is a V shaped brace of around 1/2" tubing tha connects between the
front left ( pilot side) forward gear attach point and the same point on the
right side. It then forms a "V" with another tube going back to the second
landing gear take off point on the left side.. This strengthened the frame
of the plane while on floats... I was going to take a picture of the one on
my plane today bur was out for most of the morning. If there isn't a
picture posted by tomorrow I'll take one and post it.

Yes this is correct. Also check both trailing arms and all SS parts for
cracks or fatigue. They will bend and crack in time. good design but poor
strength with the SS used. If you operate off grass strips and use seaplane
ramps expect more repairs but they still quite usable. I have them on mine
and they are a very aerodynamic float.
I have a IV so I have no idea on the fuselage brace you mention.

I really appreciate both of you guys for your responses.
I am looking forward to seeing the pictures, if it isn't too much trouble. If you
can determine the material, too, (steel, aluminum, unobtainuim, or whatever)
that would really help.
Thanks again,

Auto detailers, Auto Zone, Checker. Paint from the hobby store.
Electrical tape.
I have used all of these for years on my various auto projects.
Paint is best the tape will fall off after several years in the hot sun.

According to the Avid flight manual, after 23 degrees of flap when you input aileron,
the down aileron creates too much drag and will pull the plane around to
that side. you input left aileron and the plane goes right... When I an at
low speeds and pulling flaps must turning is with the rudder anyway.

Hi Gang,
after two years of rebuilding and a wide body and a nose gear conversion
mod, N58EW took to the air today. It flew nicely but since I have not
flown a Kitfox or the like before I see that the light controls will get
some getting use to. The little black ball looked like I was playing
PinBall with it.
However , I did have one serious issue that I need to resolve before
further flights. When I reduce power to about 4500 RPM the engine starts
shaking badly and it continues to shake down to about 3500 RPM. Below
and above that range it runs fine. On the ground it seems to run fine.
During mag check, one side drops more just a little more then the other
and shakes a bit.
Oh yes, the engine is a 912UL with a IFA Ivo.
any ideas?

Don,
I had that happen to me during a full-power run-up of the 582 while on the
ground. Engine was 12 years old with about 10 hours then. It screamed like a banshee,
red-lined the tach and scared the bejeezus outta me. And I was on the
ground! Checked out the archives and Rotax materials as Tom suggests and sure
enough, there it was. Gearbox came off, went out to LEAF for the mod and about
$500 later, no more problem.

| Subject: | Re: aerocet 1000 amphibs |
Dave, GREAT info. I called Jim Fahey the other day. He owns the rights to the
aerocet 1100's and has all the forms, molds,jigs etc. for them and has some
new parts. The first thing he asked was if I had a "channel type" or a "box type"
trailing arm. I looked and mine is the box type. He said that the failure
that your pics show are likely with the channel style, so I was aware of the
concern. The process that I am going through right now is to identify these
problems and fix them. I have looked over the left main pretty good and only
found one bolt that needed attention. I didn't do a dye-penetrate test (don't
have the "stuff") but I looked it over real good. I even put on my glasses.
Tomorrow I move to the right side.
By the way, Mr. Fahey would like to sell the rights, equipment, and supplies for
the aerocet 1100's if anyone would like to go into the float business.
Again, thanks for the info.
Louie

unless you are in seattle or california, in which case, your A&P may,
better appreciate, the use of neon green, snow white, pimping yellow and super
succulent red. Make sure you get an extra bottle of each to leave with the

Had a chat with the Kitfox people at air adventure last year in regards to that
very question. They tried both 70 and 72" on their factory plane an said the
70" is faster at cruise and the 72" better at climb. 72" if your thinking about
floats. I should have contacted the Ivoprop to see if they would cut a 71".
That would be interesting! I just received my new 70" electric Ivoprop this month
and would love to try / buy a 72" cut down to 71". Anyone interested in a
70" electric Ivoprop. I believe they are about 3 months behind on orders.

Thanks for the clarification.... : )
Actually..., we *do *use clear nail polish in the restoration shop. Wires
are often wrapped an\or bundled using the old fashion "friction tape"...,
you know, the sticky black stuff that we used as kids to re-wrap worn
baseballs. After the wraping\bundeling is complete, the tape is coated with
the clear polish to seal the tape from moisture. Looks good, and lasts for
years. This is standard in the military maintenance manuals from the '40's,
except they specify clear industrial lacquer. No tie-wraps in an "original"
Stearman or T-6
The little bottle of polish is easier to work with, and lives in the tool
box quite nice.

I might be interested in the blades, if you are staying with IVOPROP electric you
can probably use the same hub. Give me a call any time and we can talk about
it. (989) 387-4662

Eric,
Did you follow the service bulletin from Skystar to shorten the isolator
spacers on the engine mounts? Jeff Classic IV

Hi Gang,
after two years of rebuilding and a wide body and a nose gear
conversion mod, N58EW took to the air today. It flew nicely but since I
have not flown a Kitfox or the like before I see that the light controls
will get some getting use to. The little black ball looked like I was
playing PinBall with it.
However , I did have one serious issue that I need to resolve before
further flights. When I reduce power to about 4500 RPM the engine starts
shaking badly and it continues to shake down to about 3500 RPM. Below
and above that range it runs fine. On the ground it seems to run fine.
During mag check, one side drops more just a little more then the other
and shakes a bit.
Oh yes, the engine is a 912UL with a IFA Ivo.
any ideas?
Eric N58EW speedster

| Subject: | Inspecting Spars & Struts |
Hello list,
I'm deep into my first annual (condition) inspection (TT = 167 hrs!) and am having
trouble figuring out how to inspect the wing spar and/or lift struts, other
than just looking from the outside.
The lift struts are buried in their fairings and, of course, the spars are under
the fabric. Sure, I can see the ends & outsides, but is that enough? What
do you all do?
Sorry if this is a repeat subject.......I couldn't find it in the archives.
Thanks,
Grant Krueger

This is off the Kitfox topic but I am posting on behalf of a couple of
grandkids that think that they want to start a plane washing biz. Do any of
you know what the charge for such is in your area if it is available? When I
was in Phoenix a few years ago it was $75 for just a simple wash job
anything more was extra. I.E. wax or vacuum.
