I used paint thinner...mineral spirits. I would have been real timid about using it near the foam "ribs" inside the flaperons, but you solved that worry by testing it on other foam...good show. Sounds like you've discovered another workable way around the flap film problem.

I've done it with 10 and 20 (my plane's limit) of flaps, but usually use only 10 if landing crosswind...I like a bit more aileron availability in a crosswind. Did you maybe slip away from the wind? I have to think my slip through before I do it, and sometimes find myself putting the wrong wing down...quickly corrected, of course. But then, mine is a Model IV, not 3.

________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 10:15:59 AM PST US From: Lynn Matteson Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Re: STalled From my experience, the most important aspect of rigging is to have a digital inclinometer (level) or Smart Level, and those wooden blocks that clamp around the flaperons. Then read and follow the directions in the builder's manual. If you can't get the exact angles called for....26 on the right side, and 32 on the left side, according to my manual...they (Skystar via phone call way back when) said to split the difference, that is, 27 and 31 for example, with the 15049 bellcrank at 11.4 degrees from bottom of aircraft. This was changed to 10 degrees in the later-published manual. What limits my flap deflection is the length of the slot in the console (I had to lengthen it a bit), and 20 is plenty of flap for me and considered maximum for the Model IV, I read somewhere.

Er, what do you mean, Lynn? When I sideslip on final to either slow down or increase to sink rate, I push on the right pedal and push the stick to the left.

________________________________ Message 12 ____________________________________ Time: 01:16:26 PM PST US From: Lynn Matteson Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Re: STalled I always did the same thing...right pedal, and stick to the left, until my instructor and I were on our dual x-country, and I did just that, but the wind was from the right, and he grabbed the stick and went right stick (right aileron down) and left pedal, explaining "always put the wing down on the windy side." We had always slipped with right pedal, left wing down, because it just happened that the wind was always from the left when we needed to slip, and I got it into my head that that was always the way to do a slip. But it turns out that you have to figure where the wind is coming from before deciding which way to slip. Better teach your wife the old saying: "he who does not fly in crosswinds, does not fly often." (but don't let it get into a family feud) I feel more comfortable slipping R pedal, L aileron, but the wind direction has the last say.

Lynn: My instructor had me do the flying backwards while training (C172N)..

I just flew my personal best (or is that worst?) slow ground speed, covering the ground at an amazing 9 mph. The wind was about 220=B0 @ 7, according to the local (JXN) ATIS, but up at 3000' MSL, it was about 37kt, according to Ft. Wayne, IN "winds aloft" reports. At any rate, I was being blown at 162mph GPS groundspeed (108mph airspeed) toward the east, when I decided to turn back and see how slow I could fly groundspeed into the wind. I was at 3000 MSL, heading about 250=B0, and I started slowing the plane down. I kept the same 3000 altitude until I got the groundspeed down to 20 mph, then I started to lose elevation....about 125fpm on the VSI. I kept throttling back until it got down to 9mph groundspeed, 55mph airspeed, and I quit playing games when I got down to 2700' MSL. This was with no flaps, and I think the rpm was about 1900 at that point...not paying too much attention to that detail. I've heard about people flying backwards, and I was pretty close to that, but chickened out before I got over my head. Has anybody slowed their Kitfox to a negative groundspeed? I'm not trying to claim any records, but it would be informative to know if anybody has slowed more than this, and what problems, if any, should one look out for doing this.

Oh but I agree, Lynn! I also side slip always with the wing low in the wind, if it comes from the side. The R pedal, L aileron is only when the wind is in the axis of the runway. Incidentally my wife sends her regards and say that I am not allowed to listen to other men! :-) Seriously, I wonder why I felt that strange feeling that my tail was stalling with the flaps on. There wasn't much turbulence that day but, sometimes, there is a bump on final as we fly over a row of trees. Could have been just a coincidence. Still, I'll try again but this time at high altitude. I couldn't fly today and probably not tomorrow either. The reason is silly: The nearby CTR tower we need to call before take-off has one operator sick and because of that, they don't allow any GA flying. The operator has a hard job: about 20 commercial arrival/departure in 16 hours ... what a stress! :-( Cheers, Michel Verheughe Norway Kitfox 3 - Jabiru 2200 Do not archive
