Anyone have one to get rid of? Or the details on the additional structure to add to the fuselage. I saw some drawings posted on another site showing the drop tank style unit. I am getting to the point where I am close to finishing the cowl work and fuselage and this issue will start to hold up progress. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.

Randy, You are right that some of these are called out in the building plans, but over time as people fly and maintain their planes they discover places they wish they had installed inspection ports for various reasons, call it hind sight 20/20 if you will, I think this is the input Darin was looking for. In the end it will still be his decision where to put what.

Is that what you're talking about? I didn't realize they came in different sizes. I'd be happy to take careful measurements of my brackets so you can continue with the building while you look... Actually, as I write this, it occurs to me that the specifications should be mentioned somewhere in the construction records and plans that came with the airplane. Only helps you though if we're talking about the same pod. -------- Luis Rodriguez Model IV 1200 Rotax 912UL Flying Weekly Laurens, SC (34A) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=178012#178012 ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 05:32:22 PM PST US From: "Bruce Jolene" Subject: Kitfox-List: Kitfox III right gear leg, hub and wheel Does anyone have one for sale?

My Series 5 is only partially built and I am considering what I would need to do to build as a light sport and retain a useful load of around 525#. My kit came with convertable wing tips, duel brakes, and all the speedster fairings including the false ribs. Along the way, I obtained a spring gear, an NSI EA81 and cockpit adjustable prop. Obviously, the prop would be out for light sport use and I suspect the EA-81 and spring gear might be a bit heavy. Should I forget the convertable wing tips to save weight and just go with one length? short or long? Any comments/suggestions from you or others on this list would certainly be helpful.

Steve, As far as I know the mounts should be the same. The only difference between a grey and blue head is the head, the rotary valve seal, and the water pump. All else should be the same.

It was assembled IAW the factory construction manual, has a 921UL engine and 3 blade Warp Drive prop, spring gear, and, at present, an empty weight of 762 lbs.( See attached pictures) The final empty weight of your aircraft is the key to flying it under sport pilot privileges..., along with a solid understanding of "The Final Rule", (the link posted below). http://www.aopa.org/whatsnew/regulatory/sport_rule.pdf Now, as stated in the Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 143 / Tuesday, July 27, 2004 / Rules and Regulations, page 44791...... "The FAA believes that there might be confusion concerning what airworthiness certificates apply to lightsport aircraft. Therefore, the FAA is clarifying this issue. A sport pilot may operate any aircraft that meets the definition in 1.1 of a light-sport aircraft, regardless of the airworthiness certificate issued for the aircraft. An aircraft that meets the light-sport aircraft definition may have any airworthiness certificate that may be issued for an aircraft, such as standard, special, primary, or experimental amateur-built aircraft." Second, if we were to attempt to continue this discussion on line, here on the "List" we would be jumped on by the so called (cough cough) "moderators", all amatuer hobbiest, who don't have a clue what's going on, but will insist that a 25 year professional FAA representative and Part 147 educator is full of $#%&. E-mail me at stevebenesh@comcast.net and we can arrange a personal conversation on the subject over the phone at your convenience if you care to.
