Dan, rivnuts do have their purpose in certain installations, but with the
compressibility of wood, I think if it were me, I would avoid that. Very
good chance they would spin. The epoxy idea is a good one though and might
work.

Pat,
I did use Lowell,s gear. He made my "retro" elevator trim system. He told me
that he was designing a "bush" gear and I asked him to send me the drawings.
He did that along with pictures of the mock up on the 4 he is building. I
loved the appearance and as an old friend told me "if it looks good it will fly
good". I had to have it so I told him I would be one of his first customers.
A saving grace for me is that _highwingllc_ (highwing llc) now takes PayPal
and I have sold a bunch of stuff on EBAY and had a surplus so that I could
buy the gear without using the family account. It was painless! I also figured
that once people see this gear they will want it so I would have to wait in
line and Lowell is only one man doing this as a retirement hobby, I think. So I
jumped! (He sent me a picture of all the jigs he made for my gear so I am sure
production would go faster)
Also Pat, the original gear is worth some money on EBAY and I am sure with
the accidents that have happened with the original gear,I will be able to
recover a portion of my investment in this gear. I certainly don't mean to demean
the original gear as it is a stout unit but there have been side load
breakages,bungee breakages,etc.
The Grove gear was certainly a very good option but it was too expensive
and too heavy for me. Besides I like the classic, antique look (kind of like a
Monocoupe which I use to fly) and if you can loose 4 lbs in the process...wellll
John McBean also has a "bush gear" and if it's anything like the other
parts I have ordered from him, I am sure it is first class!
Can't wait to get the gear fairings on! It will sure make the gear look
complete and maybe add a mph or two. I finally found a matching spray can of
paint so that will solve my paint problem. Should get them on today I hope.
Please excuse my passion for my airplane but I absolutely love this hobby!
I work on my plane pretty much everyday. I am retired, have a hanger on a
grass strip, listen to smooth jazz music (in the land of "help me make it
through the night"---puke)! Thank God for Sirius !!! I have coffee with my friends,
airport bum, drink beer in the afternoon. What every pilot wants ... right. I
might not last long before I croak but might as well go out in style.
Anyone have a mud flap kit to install on the Kitfox? It would go great
down here!

Cool video Leonard ! Given the type of flying you do, I was hoping you would post
some videos. Some video of those short strips you fly into would be cool
also. Looks like you guys had a great time.

Dick=2C I was Lowell's 1st electric trim kit customer. I know you were his
1st electric trim kit installed customer. Lowell is top drawer to deal with
. I guess I'll e-mail him and see price and delivery on the bush gear. Your
report makes the gear sound like it really improves handleing on the groun
d. I don't like the looks of the Grove gear either. It definitely is a good
gear=2C but My KF is a low and slow "bush" plane=2C a poor man"s Super Cub
. And=2C I want it to look like one. The KF looks good with bush gear or st
ock gear with wheel pants. Did Lowell supply the fairings? I have a Wittman
W10 Tailwind that needs some TLC that I hope to learn to fly for a get up
and go plane.

I had the helmet cam mounted on the wing strut yesterday and thought I was going
to get some of that type of flying... Not so. Had an issue with the camera
so I will have to try again later.

Thanks Dick,
I was watching for pictures of the fairings. Lowell does nice work and I
was wanting to see how the fairings were done.
They look good!
