    Subject: Performance stats for a Model II
    Hi Marco - where do I find the serial number? My plane was finished in 1991 but I believe was worked on for several years, so may be a mixture of II and III? I don't think I can do a takeoff in 75ft but less than 250ft would be easy, as would a slightly more than 100ft roll-out with a little precision and practice. The previous owner bragged of being able to do a "vertical" landing given enough headwind, and it's not too difficult to achieve 0mph groundspeed at altitude with full flaps, nose high, and power. I also don't think 1600fpm sustained is possible in my Kitfox but 1000 is typical and I would guess I could push that to 1200 on a good day and no breakfast. I thought that Model II to III was a beefing up for more MTOW as Marco said plus a larger tail assembly to correct the loss of control authority at low speeds, hardly anything that would increase performance stats as published. The 2 pages from my "Kitfox Owners Manual Model II" are the same as <http://cfisher.com/kitfox/kitfox2poh.pdf> http://cfisher.com/kitfox/kitfox2poh.pdf except that mine say "Model III" at the top, which is obviously wrong.

Clint _____ From: matronics@bob.brennan.name Subject: Kitfox-List: Performance stats for a Model II Hi all - I have a general question about the published performance stats for my Model II, they don't seem to be realistic. Specifically - the takeoff distance is listed as 75ft, landing roll as 100ft, both "solo". I've done some pretty quick off-the-grounders with a good headwind and no fuel to speak of, but 75ft?(!) Is this possibly an interpolated number for the aircraft at "empty" weight with no pilot or fuel? Obviously performance specs differ for every pilot/plane combination but I thought specs were for a typical 170(?)lb pilot at 0 MSL on a perfect day. I'm not that far off 170lb (well, not TOO far that a gallon or 2 of gas wouldn't make up for...) Climb-out is listed as 1600fpm. In which parallel universe? I have achieved 900fpm sustained on a good day, alone, light fuel, and having recently lightened my own load (I call it "dumping ballast"). I have tested Vne, stall speeds in various configurations, best angle and best rate of climb, etc but not MTOW or max Gs, and have no intention of doing so, but with takeoff/landing distances and rate-of-climb seemingly so far off I have to wonder about the other stats. Yes - the airplane is configured as stated in the performance data column and the engine only had 80 hours since a complete overhaul so I don't think age was a factor. The prop is a ground-adjustable type and was tested and re-set early in flight testing although I don't know if the setting is for optimal performance, that's the only thing I can think of.

    Which brings up my next question. Has anyone come up with a workable idea to stop the siphoning of oil into the engine from the oil tank or is that not possible? I know the tank is too high on the Kitfox and it is out of position for the Rotax 912/914. If you let the aircraft sit for a month (ie: vacation) you sure run a risk of the oil seeping past the rings. I had thought about a valve but figured I would probably forget to open it.

    Your document Dave is exactly the same as my printed document except that the title on the top of my pages says "Model III" and in mine the Gross Weight says 1050 while yours says 950. Note that yours also says "Model III" for gross weight. Should we assume that the people at Denney at the time were not too careful with their document control? I also assume my Gross Weight stat should read "Model II 950 lbs"? I forgot to note the cambered wing undersides of my Model II vs the Model III which I believe has flat undersides, and a correspondingly faster cruise(?)

    > I forgot to note the cambered wing undersides of my Model II vs the Model > III which I believe has flat undersides, and a correspondingly faster > cruise(?) I could be mistaken but the flatter bottom wing started on the IV as well as the leading edge extension that added a few more mph. I think the model 3 was a gross weight change from 950 to 1050 but the aileron differential started in model IV. The lighter any model will give you the best climb numbers as well as horsepower. The Rotax 2 stokes namely the 582 do in fact give the best power to weight ratio and perform well. The 912 ul 912 s and 914 will give you the extra torque in cruise to increase the cruise speeds. Where my 582 IV will cruise at 92 a similar weight IV with a 912 set up properly will give you 110 to 125 mph cruise. -------- Rotax Dealer, Ontario Canada Flying Videos and Kitfox Info http://www.cfisher.com/ Realtime Kitfox movies to separate the internet chatter from the truth http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=kitfoxflyer Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=190848#190848

    Installed the scoop and fastened it to the fuselage using three stainless screws. I did not remove the floor boards. Chose this hardware because it provided the perfect spacer.

    Subject: Re: Hydraulic Lock
    Paul, This was my experience for the most part. I found that If I would do the prop thing a few yours after a flight, the oil would stay in the tank ready to go for at least a week. I think it is the reduced viscosity of the oil when hot that results in the majority of the siphoning. Of course what Dick mentions, the high location of the oil tank is the real culprit.

    I have a model 2 and shared my hangar with a model 3.5. The 3.5 was a model 3 (1050#) with the model 4 wings and lift struts. We both have the same engine (582) and prop (GSC) and the 3.5 was about 10 mph faster at the same rpm setting. My model 2 was a bit lighter and I would regularly see 1300 fpm climb rates @ 55 mph. I could get a bit higher climb rate if I wanted, but 1300 fpm was more than enough.

    Whaddya mean "sit for a month...vacation" ? I'm going on a 4-day vacation, and, not being able to make arrangements for someone to drive my tiny motorhome to the vacation site, I'm driving the motorhome, and towing the plane with me. It's a 150 or so mile trip, but I ain't gonna let my baby sit at home, and I'm not gonna pitch a tent this time, so that means tow the 'fox to the nearest field, and fly every chance I get, while enjoying the comforts of the MH while there. If this works out, I may even do the same thing for Oshkosh...tow the plane, and enjoy the "hard roof" that the motorhome offers. It was a pain in the ass trying to recall just how to fold the wings, load the trailer, etc., but I endured, and tomorrow I'll head out for Sharps Strip (2E2), and have a flying weekend. : ) Lynn Matteson Kitfox IV Speedster Jabiru 2200 Status: flying w/541 hrs do not archive On Jul 2, 2008, at 7:18 AM, Catz631@aol.com wrote: > Which brings up my next question.

    Once I got my tachometer issues fixed I did better than that on Aerocet 1100 floats. Take off in near glass water was around 300 ft landing a lot shorter than that and climb was close to 1500 ft/min. With any wind at all take off was much faster.

My plane was finished in 1991 but I believe was worked on for several years, so may be a mixture of II and III? I don't think I can do a takeoff in 75ft but less than 250ft would be easy, as would a slightly more than 100ft roll-out with a little precision and practice. The previous owner bragged of being able to do a "vertical" landing given enough headwind, and it's not too difficult to achieve 0mph groundspeed at altitude with full flaps, nose high, and power. I also don't think 1600fpm sustained is possible in my Kitfox but 1000 is typical and I would guess I could push that to 1200 on a good day and no breakfast. I thought that Model II to III was a beefing up for more MTOW as Marco said plus a larger tail assembly to correct the loss of control authority at low speeds, hardly anything that would increase performance stats as published. The 2 pages from my "Kitfox Owners Manual Model II" are the same as http://cfisher.com/kitfox/kitfox2poh.pdf except that mine say "Model III" at the top, which is obviously wrong.

I have tested Vne, stall speeds in various configurations, best angle and best rate of climb, etc but not MTOW or max Gs, and have no intention of doing so, but with takeoff/landing distances and rate-of-climb seemingly so far off I have to wonder about the other stats. Yes - the airplane is configured as stated in the performance data column and the engine only had 80 hours since a complete overhaul so I don't think age was a factor. The prop is a ground-adjustable type and was tested and re-set early in flight testing although I don't know if the setting is for optimal performance, that's the only thing I can think of.
