Very nice interior, Guy. Quite a departure from the conventional
Kitfox.

Thanks guys! Now I'm looking for panel shots. One thing I'm looking
for is instrumentation. I'll be using a Rotax 912 and want to see how
people are monitoring their engines. I'm not real wild about the EIS
engine monitors, they don't seem very intuitive to me and want to see
what others have done..
Here's mine! Basic VFR. The best thing about it is the EIS!
How's that for a difference of opinion! The only other "unique" thing is
the Becker transponder. I paid a little extra for a minimum weight unit;
as you can see, I have a major in minimum weight, with a minor in
aesthetics. (The original builder had a T&B and VSI which I didn't
install because I didn't think I'd ever use them and I saved a little
weight.) By the way, the panel's carbon with a wood veneer clear coated
with semi-gloss Sterling.
thanks mostly to Bob Ducar.

Guy,
Thanks. glad you like it! The engine monitor is from Vision Microsystems: http://www.visionmicrosystems.com/ Model # VM1000. Ive been very pleased with it and it monitors everything (including all four cylinders CHT/EGT) plus fuel management. With such precise monitoring, I can run lean of peak when at altitude (the Continental IO-240 Fuel Injected engine does very well with Lean of Peak).
The round instrument under the transponder is a Rocky Mountain Encoder: http://www.rkymtn.com/ It handles the Mode C altitude encoding. The following info is also available visually/digitally; VSI, ASI, Altitude, Barometer (adjustable), Density Altitude, Pressure Altitude, True Airspeed, Outside Temp, Speed Alarms (Flaps, Gear, Stall, etc). It provides an enormous amount of info in a very small space.

Here is mine. I spent many hours with epanel builder. This left only minutes

Hi Steve,
I just recently acquired a Kitfox model 2 that is not yet flying - and it had no
keys with it .... would your ignition switch with keys still be available ?
Thanks,

First,
John glad you made it home my brother. James as a former 23 year Marine
you guys are our heroes.
AS for my mountain flying, lets see, I once took off in the mountains
with a 9K DA wind blowing 30 gust to 43 switching back a forth 20
degrees to either side of the runway. I had 4 guys walk my wings out on
the kitfox to get me to the runway. I should have know better and when
the guys yelled to their friends "hey you guys got to see this", that
should also have been my clue to listen to the small voice in my head
that was saying " hey dumb ass what are you doing. It went fine, bounced
and twisted every which way but straight until I hit 8,500 where it
smoothed out. Wont say I was scared but the wood stick grip had to be
sanded from the sweat raising the grain. Would I do it again. Don't
think so. Glad I did it then, yep. Unfortunately heroes like you and
John do not get to choose what kind of crap you fly in. That's why you
and all those in harms way are so appreciated by those that know what
sacrifice is. Thanks
Rick

<james.t.trizzino@us.army.mil>
Just trying to post a thread that will get some active and relaxing
posting going. Since I am in Afghanistan right now every day is an
adventure flying. This is some of the most unforgiving terrain you can
imagine. The other day we were flying down a valley at about 200' agl
and I realized that we didn't pass a single, reasonable, forced landing
area for about 5 minutes. 45 degree walls going straight into a river.
A few weeks ago we were on the floor of a valley about 200 meters wide
where we had to keep doing U-turns and yet stay low, again with 45
degree walls on either side. It came down to doing a chandelle or
wingover type maneuver in a 5000 lb helicopter and
recovering at about 20' agl. All this and at 8-10,000' DA. So what
are
YOUR mountain flying stories? I want to hear about it.

If it is not turbo you can go to a smaller unit but here is a pic of how
I did mine. I highly recommend the thermostat by pass unit. I have seen
the coolers mounted on top as well, think John Anderson did it that
way. May be some old shots stored. I don't have the cooler but I still
have the breathers and some other NSI related gear to include a turbo
block prepared by RAM.

Rick, I am sure you have heard this one before but I figure these other guys might
get a kick out of it (yeah, i am a Warrant also).
The three scariest things to hear in the military;
1. a Private saying "this is how they showed us to do it in boot camp"
2. a Lieutenant saying "well, in my experience. . . "
3. a Warrant Officer saying "hey, watch this!"
