| Subject: | KF 2 wing damage |
You're doing the right thing by looking for a new spar. Why not try John Mc
Bean?
Spar repairs are always suspect. With this type of spar The only repair
that I can see working is an outside sleeve. Trying to find the right size
ID sleeve may be fun and it will add a bit of weight to your plane.

I'm now covering my KF2 and thinking about reinforcing the original gear
legs before covering them. Are there any places where a fillet or web can
be welded in to avoid failures? Also what are costs and possible
replacements for the original Denny design. My kit is No. 705 produced in
1990. Do not archive.

Subject: Kitfox-List: List Fund Raiser
A couple of years ago I implemented an automatic "squelch button" of sorts
for
the Fund Raiser messages. Here's how it works... As soon as a List member
makes
a
Contribution through the Matronics Fund Raiser web site, he or she will
instantly
cease to receive these Fund Raiser messages for the rest of the month! Its
just that simple. Don't you wish PBS worked that way! :-)
I really do appreciate each and every one of your individual Contributions
to support
the Lists. It is your support that enables me to upgrade the hardware
and
software that are required to run a List Site like this. It also goes to
pay for
the commercial-grade Internet connection and to pay the huge electric bill
to
keep the computer gear running and the air conditioner powered on. I run
all of
the Matronics Email List and Forums sites here locally which allows me to
control and monitor every aspect of the system for the utmost in reliably
and performance.
Your personal Contribution matters because, when combined with other Listers
such
as yourself, it pays the bills to keep this site up and running. I accept
exactly ZERO advertising dollars for the Matronics Lists sites. I can't
stand
the pop-up ads and all other commercials that are so prevalent on the
Internet
these days and I particularly don't want to have it on my Email List sites.
If you appreciate the ad-free, grass-roots, down-home feel of the Matronics
Email
Lists, please make a Contribution to keep it that way!!

rebuild it. I just finished putting the last oinked tape on the wing of my
re-build.
same thing happened to the guy I bought the wreck from. hard landing,
gear folded, he went on his back. He did some major damage but it will fly
again
this weekend after alot of work (more than if I had just built a kit). Will
it be worth it... every dime and every hour I have spent on it.
Last year, we had the same thing happen on my brothers kitfox. Bounced it
good,
gear folded, we went over on its back. Got the gear, prop, wing tips and
cowling.
A little glass work, a patch here and there, new prop and it was flying
2 weeks later (had to wait on the new gear from Avid).
Don't give up, now is a good time to do any mods you thought of after it was
built
the first time. I would recommend the Avid Wide gear, or the new "Cub"
style
gear as the stock KF gear is prone to breaking. I know 4 locally that have
balled it up do to a gear failure on landings that were not really that bad.
I have beat the crap out of the Avid wide gear with no issues so far!

Legally, I don't think you have to have an endorsement for an experimental.
--- That being said do not fly it without one or the equivalent exper
ience to get one.- Tail wheel experience is a must.- Ideally, experienc
e in a Kitfox but probably if you can get some in a cub champ etc. it will
be OK.- One tip I read on- a Maule list (off center seating like the Ki

ly aligned with the runway.- I haven't tried it yet but it sounds good.

That was Bill Hemple flying a 50% model. That is part of his new "airshow"
routine.
He originally had it happened accidentaly with a 50% Edge 540, was able
to land it with one wing, then he decided it was cool enough to develope a
system
to so he could jettison the wing at will.
So it is not the real plane pulling that one off, but a real big model.

John,
I'm guessing it's deep enough that you don't want to just
live with it. If it's deep it can't be repaired, since you'll cause
even more damage to the metal pulling it out. One thing you could do
that would be easier than a new spar, although uglier, would be to
glue and screw an aluminum patch over it. A lot depends on where it
is relative to the strut bracket and ribs.

Charles,
There are no plans for the off-road gear. Lowell Fitt at
Highwing LLC and John McBean at Kitfox LLC are marketing them
complete. You could, however, do as my original builder did and
rebuild the your landing gear with larger tubes and more reinforcement.

Very nice but ... a fake. Anyway, it would be better if you sent e.g. a link
from
YouTube, instead of sending the file itself. Not all of us has ADSL

Incidentally, on YouTube, you can see the faking:

I can not say if the video is ALL computer generated or not, the last part
is fake,
but I think the actual landing is a real RC plane, not computer. Large
RC aerobatic planes have MOST DEFINITELY been landed after a wing has
separated
as you see in the video. If you ever saw a master RC pilot flying a state
of the art aerobatics plane, doing the landing you see in the video would be
easy
compared to some of the other things I have seen them do.

It was Bill Hemple doing the flying with his model... He has done it many times.
He is the pilot that did the flying for the movie Aviator with the H racer.
We do stuff with our models that would blow your mind, and landing with one wing
is not really that hard given the huge control surfaces and 80 deg throws we
use for 3D flying. Just roll knife edge and hold till your on the deck then
roll level just like the vid shows.

582 Drivers=2C I am rebuilding a Mod 3 that was originally equiped with a 9
12 that I am installing a 582 in. the plane has strobes=2C nav lights and a
radio. I fear that my lighting coil will not put out enough power to handl
e all those electrics. I remember seeing a set up for an auxillary alternat
or belt drive off of the prop hub.=2C maybe from CPS=2C I don't know. I rem
ember that it seemed to cost 3 X what I thought it should. Anyone out there
have experience with one or have designed one yourself.

My brothers 582 is pulling nav lights, radios, GPS, 3 strobes, heater and intercom
with no issues. The wattage does not add up to that much. You can pull 170
watts with the 582 lighting coil.
