John, Attached are a few photos of my kitfox trailer. I couldn't attach them in
a reply to PM, so here they are. Others may be interested anyhow.
It is an old two place snowmobile trailer. I replaced the tongue with one 16 feet
long. There is a little hand crank boat winch on the front of the tongue
to crank the Kitfox up onto the deck. I set the tail on the deck before folding
the wings.
If I was starting from scratch I think I would design a trailer so that the kitfox
would sit lower to the ground like you see some of the modified boat trailers.
I just used this trailer because I already had it on hand.
Here is a link to the Trailers/towing section on the Sportflight web site if
you haven't found that yet.
http://www.sportflight.com/cgi-bin/uploader.pl?action=main&category=Trailers/Towing
Let me know if you need more details. I would be happy to snap more photos if
you need some.

There is one other answer to the ethanol attacking the tanks. I have no
idea about the cost but the tanks are rotary moulded from ethanol proof
plastic.
The idea is you can take a portion of the skins off the top of your wings,
remove the tops of your existing tanks and drop these tanks in. Not
counting the recovering it should take less than a couple of hours to refit
your existing tanks. There is a loss of volume and no doubt a pound or so
weight penalty but it is a way of protecting from having part of your tanks
found in your carb(s) without having to completely rebuild your wing(s)

Oops! I forgot the link to the tanks

This, to me, seems to take care of the biggest problem with ethanol fuel.
Now the only thing left is a way to keep the fuel from cooling too much in
flight, there by eliminating the possibility of a phase separation.
Any ideas? Temperature gauges in the fuel? Small 1/16" ID tubes passing
through the tanks that some of the coolant either before or after the rad
could be channelled through. I'm not talking about boiling the gas... just
keeping it at say 65F.

Hi Noel,
According to all that is written from the fuel companies and people in the
industry they can't make unleaded fuels yet over 96 octane without the other
unwanted things like lead, ethanol or methanol. I had to do a research
project on fuels a year ago and I learned this at that time. We use 91
Octane because of our compression ratio in the 912 100 hp. being higher than
the 912 80 hp. The 91 octane sit time is about 3 weeks, then you are losing
octane and additives through evaporation even if you have a lid on the
container. Gas vaporizes at -45F. Semi synthetic oil is for 100LL and either
semi or full synthetic for 91. Full synthetic does not suspend lead and it
falls out in the gearbox and crankcase. You should not be letting plugs run
to 150 hr. Rotax schools recommend 75 for 91 octane and 50 for 100LL use. No
where in any manual has Rotax ever had 150 plug change. It used to be 100
hrs. years ago, but is taught different now. Fuel scavengers like Decalin
does help Rotax 91!
2's. It helps keep the lead soft and helps keep it off everything in the
cylinder( i.e. plugs, valves, valve seats, cyl. heads). This scavenger
should help blow more out the exhaust.
I would recommend that all that do their own work go to a Rotax service
school and a line maint school. These are two day schools and $500 each.
A&P's really need to go. [Wink]

I think this has been a long, cold winter for a lot of us....we are
on a record-setting pace for snowfall here in southern Lower
Michigan. I'v really been getting my money's worth out of these skis,
unlike the previous 2 years, where half the time I could have chanced
flying without them.
Two feet, eh? That would be enough to make me think twice about
venturing out. Not so much as to whether the plane could handle that
much depth, but whether the pilot could, if he had to get out and
walk. I gotta get some snowshoes to hang on the struts....they look
so cool!! (but probably illegal, so says my CFI, the kill-joy!)

"Should be able to do in an afternoon"? Must live above the Arctic
Circle where the afternoons are 6 months long, I'm thinking. Looks
like a doable fix for a bad tank, though.
At what temperature does this "phase separation" occur?
Man, I don't want to go through all this just to avoid using
100LL....and I won't...as long as I can possibly help it. Damn the
Government and their stinkin' ethanol!

You're mixing numbers from more than one Octane rating system. 100LL would not
have a 100 Octane rating with the system that displays numbers at the pumps in
the US.
> In most countries (including all of Europe and Australia) the "headline" octane
rating, shown on the pump, is the RON, but in the United States, Canada and
some other countries the headline number is the average of the RON and the MON,
sometimes called the Anti-Knock Index (AKI), Road Octane Number (RdON), Pump
Octane Number (PON), or (R+M)/2. Because of the 8 to 10 point difference noted
above, the octane rating shown in the United States is 4 to 5 points lower
than the same fuel elsewhere: 87 octane fuel, the "regular" gasoline in the US
and Canada, is 9192 in Europe. However most European pumps deliver 95 (RON) as
"unleaded", equivalent to 9091 US (R+M)/2, and some even deliver 98 (RON), 100
(RON), or 102 (RON).[2]

Which should provide additional information.

"Should be able to do in an afternoon"? Must live above the Arctic
Circle where the afternoons are 6 months long, I'm thinking. Looks
like a doable fix for a bad tank, though.
At what temperature does this "phase separation" occur?
Man, I don't want to go through all this just to avoid using
100LL....and I won't...as long as I can possibly help it. Damn the
Government and their stinkin' ethanol!

Yes you can mix 100LL with 87 octane. No more than 50% 87. If you error do it on
the side of the 100LL like 60% 100LL and 40% 87. The 50/50 rule is taught in
Rotax schools. It will give you an appropriate octane for your 912ULS. People
have been using this rule for years.

So you don't have to tear up a wing covering why not just pull the wing and slosh
the tanks with Kreem Weiss. It is easy, it sticks to anything plastics or metals,
it is used worldwide in all kinds of fuel tanks. Flight Design uses it
in all their planes. It is used in the aircraft industry, automotive and the motorcycle
industry. It is impervious to all fuels, oils and fluids. It is very
easy to use and it will make your tank dang near bullet proof for any leaks and
help a little on the insulation factor. It does not chip or flake.
Good stuff!

I am selling my pneumatic synchro kit because I am upgrading to a digital unit.
This is the kit you can purchase from California Power Systems or Lockwood (Link

http://www.rotaxparts.net/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=1297
It has been used 4 or 5 times and is basically in new condition. Everything listed
in the link above comes with it as well as extra tubing & fittings to extend
the leads back further away from the rotating prop. Paid $80 for it, would
like to get $55 shipped to your door.

It works for me...for the last 3 years, anyway, but no ethanol has

whole thing with Kreem is to do a GOOD job of getting the old stuff
completely washed out, and the new stuff thoroughly impregnated into
the CLEAN inner surface of the tank.

Exactly, Lynn.
If I may add, after the tank is "CLEAN" and dry, mix the Kreem 50/50 MEK
before sloshing. It flows much better and you only need a very thin coat
anyway. Just don't miss any spots.

Thanks for all the nice comments from the picture of Devils Tower yesterday.
Today was another great day and my wife wanted to go fly some place so we
went to Cedar Butte in the Badlands to scout some pathways to climb to the
top of it. We neglected to take any pictures of it - the top looks like a
runway and a crosswind runway - but we took some pictures on our way to Wall
Drug for lunch.
I get nervous flying over some of this, but usually there are some flat
spots that would work for a ktifox glider.

I seem to recall him saying that anything that is strapped onto the
outside of the plane is "illegal carrying of cargo" or something like
that. No use asking the Snake Man, those guys in the 49th State have
been getting away with murder (figure of speech) for years, so I've
read anyway. The way I've read about the early bush-country flying is
that they have an unspoken rule up there that the FAA looks the other
way and pretty much allow whatever the pilot can get on board as
"legal".
One account I read...I believe it was in "Wager with the wind...the
Don Sheldon story", but I can't be sure....told of an FAA guy who
busted a pilot for carrying either too heavy a load, or carrying it
outside of the plane, or something that the "book" said was against
the rules, and it wasn't too long before the FAA guy was soon
spending his time in some remote God-forsaken outpost doing menial
duty. This may have changed over the years, and maybe someone from
Alaska might shed some light on the current practice....or on the
carrying of cargo outside the plane, for that matter.

| Subject: | Snowshoes on struts |
The manufacturer of a certificated aircraft must publish an owner/operator
manual, and a certificated aircraft can have no modifications to it that are
not in the Type Certificate Data Sheet, unless such modifications are
covered by a Supplemental Type Certificate or field approval on a 337 Form.
External loads must comply with the above documents on certificated
aircraft.
Experimental aircraft do not fall under the above mentioned rules. The
manufacturer (builder) of an Experimental aircraft determines the way in
which the aircraft may be used, i.e., external loads. If the Operating
Limitations for a given Experimental aircraft prohibit external loads, then
the prohibition applies. As is the case with tires, floats, etc. that a
builder wants to use on an Experimental aircraft, external loads may be
carried if the builder wants to determine the safe loading of the external
load to include weight and balance, makes the appropriate entries in the
logbook, flies the aircraft so loaded the requisite time determined by
either the particular configuration (usually 5 hours) or as determined by
the FSDO. Once the requisite flight time is completed and the appropriate
logbook entries are made, have fun.
This same subject came up while I worked at the Anchorage FSDO concerning
hauling a snomachine (snowmobile) bolted to the fuselage of an Experimental
copy of a Super Cub. The guy completed the paperwork and as far as I know
is still flying his snowmachine out to the bush in the winter in interior
Alaska. I quit working there in 1999.

How about an LSA that needs no trailer to get it to the airport? In fact, you just
drive it from your garage to the airport. Weathered in? Heck, just drive a leg
of the
trip.

You can have it for about the price of a Kitfox, the trailer and the car to pull
it.
and you can have one later this year. Rotax 912UL powered. Not a tricycle gear

nor is it a tail dragger. It's front wheel drive!

No joy, that one didn't make it either. Even stripping the double slash back one,
didn't help.

Hey Bob, any thoughts on the thread about strapping stuff outside
your airplane, especially a Kitfox, and flying? The subject is called
"Snowshoes on struts"
I'm looking for input from guys in Alaska, where the rules were
seemingly a little more relaxed, according to some books I've read.

I have always been told it is not legal to strap, Tye, or attach any
thing to the struts as they are not designed for drag effect.
We, I should say I, have generally tied snow shoes, rifles in a
scabbard and other stuff, "gas cans", and have not been ruffled
over it. Not saying up here is lax, but you can see planes tied at the airport
with snow shoes strapped to the struts.
I think all realize a one mile walk in 4 ft of snow at -20 can't be done
without snow shoes. If their destroyed inside the plane, better outside.
I had to remove anything from the struts to have the
airplane annulled.
This is not a confession and I will deny it as a myth
