Dave:
The prop was 3 years old and had a about 90 hours on it. The separation between
the prop hub halves was within spec at the last condition inspection.
The NTSB has the hub now, so we'll see what they think.
My insurance carrier owns the airplane now. I'm anxious to finish getting my ticket
and if I rebuilt her, I'd be out of the air for too long.
And yes, I am looking for another Kitfox Speedster.
Thanks to all of you for your kind comments.

| Subject: | Fuel Sight Guage Material |
I am completing my fuel tank installation on my Series 5 (1995) and
have some questions about the fuel sight guage materials and
improvements that have been made over the past 14 years by the factory
or builders.
The original material is the stiff clear plastic that is heated and bent to
shape. Is this the best material to use still?
The fittings are plastic and how have they done with auto fuel? Are these
the same fittings as come in the new kits?
Before I finish the tanks I want to make any changes now that have been imp
rovements. Thanks. Andy

Andy,
I liked the heat bent material. I previously used the Tygon like tubing. I
did find, however that the plastic fittings were a regular and fairly
predictable source of leakage. I don't know why, but I had to peroidically
retighten the fittings.

Was just wondering were you able to recover the blades. You said you were o
ver a populated area just wondering where the blades hit or were they just
splinters?

No we did not find the blades. We were at 2700 ft, entering a mountain pass when
they departed. We did a 180 and glided 3 or 4 miles away before landing.
The local police said that they had no reports of the blades coming down.
The blades would have looked brand new except that the black epoxy sleeve on the
hub end stayed in the hub. They probably would have come down slowly, flat
and rotating like a paint roller. I know the GPS coordinates where we were when
they came off, buy they could have traveled a long way on the way down.

Jim , I had a blade depart a few years ago. We took the GPS track to exactly where
it departed and 3 of us spend a whole day on foot and never found anything,
prop, spinner parts -- ZERO.
On the GSC - thanks for update. That is low time for a GSC. I will say the alum
halves do look rather tight from that picture. Looks like possibilty of overtightening?
You should have a decnet gap on those usually but with a spinner
on you would have never known. The torque os only 8 foot /lbs or so. Actually
I think up to 100 inch pounds ... very little .
No worry on finding a Kitfox there is always lots of selection in the used market.

I would think the hub halves would come together after the blades departed.
