Guy, With 13 .5 US galllons on board you would not see over 2.5 hours duration
since the average fuel flow is about 5.4 gallons / hour . Your numbers would
give an average of 4.65 gal./hour which is low unless you are cruising at I would
guess about 5500 rpm and in that case would see only about 75 to 80 mph
MAX in a Kitfox IV. A Kitfox 2 is slower that a model IV as well with the under-cambered
wing and with out the leading edge cap. A Kitfox 2 is likely to
not see over 80 mphunlesss it has wing strut fairings as well.
Hope this clears up the confusion ,

I used "Fiberfax" insulation. You can buy it from Aircraft Spruce (part number
05-02678). I attached it to the firewall flange with red high temp RTV. It is
very thin so I was able to put it on after I drilled the mounting holes. It is
good for 2300 degrees so the boot cowl will go long before this seal.

Gary-
I found the original box for the wheel pants installation kit finally
(I never throw anything away...it's just a matter of where I "filed"
it), and so I have a bunch of parts that I didn't use for my
installation, and you're welcome to them, along with the
instructions, a drawing, and the packing list. The whole shootin'
match weighs about 3 pounds. If all you need is the instructions and
the drawings, I'll either send them to you via mail, or get with my
neighbor who has a better system for OCR(?) scanning the written
word...and the drawings. My system doesn't (or its owner doesn't) do
a very good job. Maybe a fax would be better. But if all you got was
the pants, you'll need the parts that I have and some other parts
that I used. Let me know what you need and how to go about getting
them to you.
The parts that I have consist mainly of the left and right cover
plates for the brakes, z-braces, reinforcing straps, LA washers,
Nylatron spacer material,and some hardware. I used the spindles, a
couple of bolts, machine screws, all the solid rivets, and all the
nutplates. If you have a packing list that came with the installation
kit, you can see what is missing. The spindles are the biggest item
that you'll need if you don't have it...they are merely 1/2" diameter
(I think) chrome moly tubes with a washer welded on one end and a nut
welded inside (for retaining the outside of the pant).

RE: temporary strut fairing.
Guy, I was thinking duct tape but it seemed so simple that I thought I must be
missing something.
Dave and Gary, five to eight mph would be a good gain. Cruise now is 75 mph at
5800 rpm. I'm not really concerned about going fast. Rate of climb is a priority
to me. Solo now is 800 ft/min but drops significantly with more load.
At max gross (1050 for the classic 4 with 503) on a cool day it climb rate is
400-425. I would't even try it on a hot day here.
I like the looks of the faired struts versus the round and I think the wood fairing
will add some strength too.

Hi Ed.
My model 2 (s/n 374) was 95% built when I got her so those decisions
were already made. As for gap seals, clear 2" "Frost King" tape, overlapped 1"
sticky side to sticky side and applied in an "S" configuration works great.
I'd leave out the 6 gal passenger side wing tank and replace it with a 13 gal to
increase range. The 582 is a good engine but it uses about 4.5 g/hr at cruise.
I'd use the new poly tanks now available rather than the fiberglass ones
you probably have.
I suspect you'll be adding some weight to the tail feathers with built-in
gap seals and airfoil ribs. Most header tanks are mounted behind the
seat. Put yours wherever it's needed to get the W&B right with
the mods you're making. If you wind up puttting the header up front, put a small
baggage compartment behind the seat.
Good luck and have fun.

Dave,
You get 5.4 gph, I get 4.7 at 5900 rpm, verified over
several very long trips. (Note that this fuel flow is average for 3.5
- 4.5 hour flights, not around the patch.) You are correct, though,
that I have a IV. I didn't know Ed had a 2, and don't know what he
cruises at. I know I flight plan for 80 mph with my IV.

I'm not sure that you will see much gain in rate of climb from the strut
fairings as they really become more efficient the faster you fly.
that being said I am amazed at the performance you are getting out of
that 503 - sounds like you have everything working really well.

Gary, thanks for thinking about this. I wasn't actually expecting an increase
in climb rate. I just don't want to lose any climb performance due to the extra
weight of the fairing.
If I can get the good looks and strength of the fairing, and not lose any climb
performance, it will be worth it to me. The increase in cruise speed will be
a bonus in my way of thinking. I wasn't very clear on that in my last post.
I know for sure I will lose about 10 pounds of useful load.

Sorry Tom I misunderstood,
I have grown a bit blase about a bit of additional weight but I can
understand why you need to keep a close eye on it. I used to have a
Challenger with a 503 and that little engine was probably one of the most
reliable piece of machinery I ever operated. However Challenger are now
offering the 582 upgrade and I have seen the difference on performance and
it's pretty amazing.
I also had a Kitfox 4 with 582 and that combination would easily keep up
with my current Jabiru 2200.
If there is a chance, you might want to keep your eyes open for a 582 when
your next rebuild is up as you would love the performance and the 10lb
becomes "non-relevent" Hmm not sure if that's a real word.
Best regards

Be VERY careful spraying this type of paint!? I'm finishing up a Model 7 and finished
the last of the spraying this weekend (I used Aerothane which is the same
type of chemical formulation).? In my opinion, the only option is a "line supplied"
type respirator.? I used the "hobby air" type that can be purchased for
$400-$500.? If you goggle search for respiratory protection for this type of
paint, you'll find that most manufacturers recommend this approach.??You'll
also want to be careful with eye protection.? I?wear swimmers goggles while spraying
but admit I generally spray the last of the three coat process without
goggles in order to clearly see the amount of paint on the surface being sprayed.??Following
each spraying session, my eyes will?be irritated for a week or
so even with minimal exposure.
On the plus side, it's a fantastic product in terms of finish, durability, and
chemical resistance...just use the proper protection!

I painted my plane in Aerothane and used a fresh air breather located away
from the area I was working in. I also was wearing a Tavek paper suit when
I sprayed.

Gary, I am going to be shooting Aerothane also. A company named Cole-Palmer
( found them through Google search ) supplies very good outside air hoods
with a garden hose threaded hook up @ $35 and Tyvek suits @ $5. I am going
to supply air with a $40 reversable shop vac and a motor speed control from
Harbor Freight tool @ $15. The $400 $500 outside air units seem extremely
high priced to me.

The company making the filters usually have information matching the
chemical type to the filter type. Not all chemicals are safely removable
by filters only. Very toxic chemicals as isocyanates need outside are
source as they can be deadly or have long term serious health effects.
