Hi
I am installing a ivo IFA on my 912 and was wondering what size of breaker I
should be installing in the loop. What works for others?
Thanks

Jack, I had replaced this cable several times and always just used cable
from the local hardwqare store. As I recall it was 1/16 SS cable. Not
perfectly sure, though. With essentially no bends, I never thought that
the internally lubricated aircraft cable was necessary.

I probably need to replace the throttle cable on me Kitfox 4 - 912 engine.
Mine is bent at the carb link point and I have a hard time to do the carb
synchronisation.Do you guys have a good place to order this cable? Any
advise on what to avoid and what to look for?

Jack,
We have a very nice twin lead throttle cable. Eliminates
the bellcrank.

| Subject: | Re: Throttle cable |
I went through the same thing when I needed to replace the choke cables. I just
needed to replace the inner cable, since the sleeves were OK. The cables I
bought locally and online proved to be too stiff and the chokes wouldn't shut
off completely.
I learned that there are different "weaves" (not the real term) available and the
way the cable in "woven" affects it's flexibility. The common 1/16" cable
is 1 x 16. It is too stiff to use in any application that requires a bend (as
the choke cables do). I had to use 7 x 7 cable to make it work.
You may get away with the 1 x 16 on the throttle, but I would recommend the 7 x
7 for that use as well. I think it would give you a little more leeway if you
get a kink or some foreign material in the sleeve.
I think I bought the 7 x 7 cable from Leading Edge Airfoils.

Thanks. I bought my prop and wiring used and the wiring that I received was
some yucky extension cord material. I threw all the wiring away and there
wasn't a circuit breaker in the wiring I received. I have it currently
hooked up to a 3 amp breaker which trips quite easily when I get to the end
of the stroke.
How many amps is the breaker that came with your wiring harness?
I thought I read 10 amps somewhere but I can't find the article to confirm.
thanks
Brian

Not sure of my amps as my Kitfox is not close to home at the moment=2C but
would venture a guess that it is 10 amps ot higher. Give IVO a call. they c
ould clear it all up. Mine has never triped the breaker. When it hits dead
end you can see it on your altenator gauge will spike and its time to let g
o of the switch.

Did you end up with an ungodly amount of extra wire that you coil up and stuff
behind the pannel? IVO sends out a very long harness and cautions you not to
cut it as it limits the current that gets to the motor. If you run shorter wires
with less resistance, you run the risk of frying the motors, which used to
be 37 bucks but are now 100 bucks. I have been through 6 of them until I figured
out what the problem was (using high pitch blades as recommended by my brother)
that requires the poor little motor to work too hard to flatten them out
enough for take off RPM.

I am the proud owner of a "Classic Model IV" Kitfox. The plane did not come with
the wing fold bracket or braces.
The other Kitfoxes that I have seen have a tab welded to the tubing on the vertical
tail (Just above the h-stab) that the wing braces hook to when the wings
are folded. This plane does not have these. There is a tube (currently covered
with fabric) similar to the trailer hitch mount tubes on the front of the vertical
stab in front of the h-stab. Is this for some other design brackets?
Does anyone have a Classic IV that they can photo showing the folded wing bracket
mounts??
Thanks in advance!
