The EU Kitfox page is very good . If you select "Kitfoxes in the EU" from the left
navigation pane, Pick Norway and choose LN-YLT you will see someone you may
recognize. The Technical section contains Kitfox,Rotax and Jabiru service bulletins,
while the Downloads section at the very bottom of the navigation pane
has some good documentation and general info.

Yes. Lars-Goran has done a good job for quite some years now. First, it was Kitfox-Sweden,
then Kitfox-Scandinavia and now Kitfox-Europe.

| Subject: | Re: gsc props changing pitch in flight |
First the disclaimer - I have never owned a GSC or any other wooden prop,
but I think a check of the older archives will show that some would shim the
blade with thin paper and I think some even used fine sand paper. This was
from the old days when most guys were operating the factory GSC. Then
again, this was a long time ago and maybe my memory is worse than my wife
tells me it is.
I like the idea of the clearcoat - clever idea.

Jerry,
The same thing happened to me once. They say when the gap is gone it's time
to get a new blade, but mine looked good just not much gap left so I sprayed
a couple coats of auto clearcoat on that black end and that took care of the
slipping . I am not an expert on propellers but it worked for me. I have a
GSC 3 blade on my Model 1 532 and It works great. Good luck

Subject: Kitfox-List: gsc props changing pitch in flight
Has anyone had this happen to them,I have a 582 greyhead three blade
gsc wood prop and on my last fight ( 20 hrs so far on prop) the pitch
changed after take off , it started to vibrate some,after landing I found
that one blade had changed pitch so I adjusted it took off for a short
flight and still it was off by two degrees, the half's seems to have very
little gap if any all torqued to 100in.Can I mill one half down to get a
space for gap between the half's or has anyone wrapped each blade with
something to make more gap I also found some black dust around the spinner
by that blade I checked the torque on all bolts all 100 I'm thinking it
might have no gap on that blade and it is slipping after full throttle , any
help thanks Jerry

A qick edit here as well, though it was a warp blade that departed, it was
the NSI CAP cuff that failed. The Warp blade was just on for the ride.

I drilled two holes in the firewall right near the upper outside
engine mount cluster. Installed rubber grommets. Ran cable around
engine, through holes from the front side, overlapping behind
firewall and used 2 nicopress sleeves to connect cables. That was the
first time. Then when I recently r'd the engine, I decided to just
cut the cable and replace it. When I reinstalled the cable today, I
ran the cable from the back side of the firewall and around the
engine (just look at how it should be threaded around the starter,
motor mounts, etc. in order to retain the engine should something
happen), then clamped the cable ends together with 4 cable clamps,
1/8" in size. I put some shrink wrap on the cable ends to prevent
fraying.
Oh yeah, I ran the cable through some fuel line where it goes around
a corner, or would otherwise rub on the engine, mount frame tubing
etc. If the fuel line gets chewed up eventually through vibration, I
can unclamp the cable and replace the fuel line. (I didn't want to
just apply the fuel line by slicing it) Now I can unclamp and remove
the engine without having to wreck the cable each time....I tried to
cut the nicopress sleeves originally, but gave up, as they are TOUGH!
I admit that this isn't going to hold an engine dropped off a bridge,
but it should retain it somewhat in the original CG position and
allow for a landing. If not, well, your day wasn't gonna be too good
without it, so what can it hurt?
