I have a softcomm ATC-2PS intercom (panel mounted) and I have a problem to
hook this up to a ICOM A20 radio (handheld). The problem is the MIC.
The intercom works fine, but it will not transmit when I push PTT (the
display shows TX, but no audio Is transmitting). I think the problem is from
the 2.5mm MIC plug to the PTT and Intercom. The wiring diagram from ICOM and
Softcomm do not exactly shows this interface should be. Have tried GOOGLE
but no luck. Hope any of you have a experience with this.
Thanks

Even with the inflation of today, the price of $0.00 that you charged
me has only risen to $0.00....let me know, Howard if you can afford
this outrageous price. : )

Careful there, Kirk. Not everybody can do their own annual inspection on a
Kitfox. To do that, you have to be the builder of that particular airplane
and have an FAA issued Repairman Certificate for that particular airplane.

Geir,
Most handheld solid state transceivers are keyed by grounding the MIC+
through a resistor, usually in the 10K ohm to 50K ohm range. I think the
Icom A20 requires a 22K ohm resistor, but be careful! You might want to
install a 50K ohm potentiometer and start with the high end resistance,
reducing in small increments until you have the desired results. Then
replace with a fixed resistance equal to the measured potentiometer setting
that gives reliable keying. The resistor is installed in series with the PTT
input to your intercom from the handheld keying wire (usually the tip of the
plug).

Well I have to apologize to all for my erroneous numbers. I went up today and
found my IAS follows the GPS speeds pretty close till I get the nose up into a
stall. The IAS reads about 10-12 mph less than the GPS in the stall. It is
much more pronounced in this airplane than the 182 I had and I didn't compare
the two on my initial tests. Dave had the right idea. I am still happy with
the increased performance and stability. I am not going to give any numbers
until I can be sure they are correct. Sorry for the screw up.
embarrassed!

I would like to share with the list, an awesome experience I had this
Memorial weekend. I live in North Alabama and partnered with my dad on
a series 5 Vixen kit that we are currently covering. We have had the kit
for four years and neither one of us have ever seen a Kitfox fly, much
less flown in one. My wife, 3 year old daughter, and I was in Atlanta
Saturday and I knew from reading this list that Travis Rayner (which I
had never met) and possibly others had flown to High Valley Resort, one
and a half hours north of Atlanta, for the weekend. So Sunday we drove
to the resort with camera and questions and was thrilled when we saw a
beautiful blue vixen sitting there. After I introduced myself and my
mission I was welcomed to crawl all thru Mr. Rayner plane and take as
many pictures and ask as many questions as I could. TALK ABOUT A KID IN
A CANDY STORE!!!!! After about an hour or so of taking notes I was
running out of questions and that is when it happened. Mr Rayner
mentioned the "F" word. That's right, FLYING!! He said he needed to fly
about 18 miles to the north to fuel up and invited me to ride. I was
overwhelmed with excitement and with a preflight and short ground roll we
were off. I am a low time Cessna pilot and could not believe how
responsive the controls were. What a blast!!! I got a small glimpse of
why the Kitfox is loved by so many. This trip was the push needed to go
home and finish a seemingly endless project. I can't express enough of
my appreciation of Travis and his wife Cathy for letting my family and I
intrude on their vacation and excepting us so warmly. This proves there
is a lot to be said about the Kitfox community. I can't wait until the
day I can give someone their first Kitfox ride in my plane. Thanks
again Travis for the flight I will not soon forget!!

Hello
It's been a while so I thought that I would report in.
I managed to return to Australia from Canada, along with my family and
C-FAJW (now Aus registered Recreational 19 - 3507).
I am hangered at Aldinga (approx 20km Sth of Adelaide) and enjoying the
amazing coastal scenery of the Fleurieu Peninsula.
The plane made the trip with no problems and after about two mths grounded
the rego and my Australian endorsement were completed. I ended up getting
my Aus Rec licence which allows day VFR and passenger carrying
endorsement.
I hope all are well and assume that Michel is still posting great
Norwegian fotos.

If your airplane is registered E-LSA you can do that but if it is
registered
S-LSA you have to do the longer course or have an A&P do it for you in
the
US and if it is one of the classics that meet the rule you are stuck
with
the A&P.

If your aircraft qualifies for light sport at 1320 or less , you can
take
the 16 hour course and work on and annual only your aircraft.

Careful there, Kirk. Not everybody can do their own annual inspection on
a
Kitfox. To do that, you have to be the builder of that particular
airplane
and have an FAA issued Repairman Certificate for that particular
airplane.
