Hello Lynn, I tried to catch you while at Oshkosh. I had a chance to see
your plane and Stan's. Stan was very helpful. I'm just beginning a Kitfox
IV-1200 build. The plane was purchased in 1993 from Skystar. Approximately
5% of the build was completed before the owner died. It's been sitting
stored since 2001. It comes with a new grey head 582. I'm trying to decide
what to do with the engine which requires complete disassembly, inspection,
and rebuild if I'm going to use it. So the question is: How do you like
your Jabiru 2200? Would you install the same engine with the experience
that you've gained with this engine? Where did you get your engine mount?
Would you be willing the send me pictures of your installation? And,
lastly, if I choose the 2200, would you consider mentoring my installation?
The totally install price (nearly $25K), of the 912, which I had in a Pulsar
XP, is just getting ridiculous.
Beautiful plane by the way and I got to see you depart.
Best Regards,
Lane
Long EZ, 213EZ
and now Kitfox Model IV owner/builder and hope to be flyer...

Jim,
Sorry to hear about your loss. Glad you are ok. I almost lost blades on my
Kitfox III flying it home when I purchased it. Landed overnight and next
morning on a walk around a blade twisted in my hand. It had a fresh annual
by a Kitfox guru 3 days before.

I'd be glad to help, Lane. Sorry I missed you at Osh.
Other than a couple of minor problems and one major (a broken timing
gear that caused a forced landing), I'm very happy with the engine.
The broken gear was apparently a very rare occurrence, and I haven't
heard of others having the same problem. That aside, I would
definitely go with another Jabiru, even if this went went "south"
again. I just like the simplicity of installation, the air-cooling,
and the direct drive. A Rotax will climb out better due to its
reduction drive and ability to swing a longer prop, but climbing is
only part of the flight. I got my engine mount from Pete Krotje at
Jabiru USA, in Tennessee. I will send you pictures later on
today....if I forget, just remind me via my personal email address:

I bought a kit (model II) from a guy in 2002 and it had a 582 gray head
engine. I
built the Model II and installed the engine and never did anything
to it. when I was ready to fly (2005)crank the engine and it ran perfect.
Did the break in procedure
and flew the aircraft. I sold the model II to a guy in Edna TX. and he now
has over 200 hr. on the 582.
I would do the same with yours if it was mine, but if you don't think is
safe don't do it.
This is for information only

I ran mine out of the rear spar tube, through, then along the butt
rib, and finally down along the front side of the left windshield
post. I used the screws that hold the windshield in place to also
hold "C" clips, into which I placed the pitot tube line. Just be sure
that the line is placed close to the bolt that holds the rear spar to
the fuselage, so that it won't interfere when/ if you need to fold
the wings.

Dick,
-
On my first build, I routed it down the aft door post then under the side o
f the seat then up the foeward door post to the panel.
-
Behind the panel, I used a carbon fiber arrow blank as a stiffener which wa
s tie wrapped to the side tubing.-- I ran all tubing and wiring behind
the panel tied to this arrow blank to try to elimiate the birds nest look b
ack there.- I will likely do it again on my current Model IV projecyt.

| Subject: | Re: Kreem Problem Follow Up |
I'm working on it now, Pat. Should be a few days at most. Rather than
wait for a new cable to arrive, and have to negotiate a curve in it,
I am going with a bellcrank device, but having second thoughts about
it after working all day on it. Gonna sleep on it and see how I feel
about the method in the morning.

| Subject: | Series 7 Completion |
After 3 1/2 years of construction, Series 7 N725CE took off for the first
time on July 28th. I'm happy to report that the first flight was
uneventful and required no trimming to fly hands off. Power is provided by a
Rotax
912S turning a three bladed IVO electronically adjustable prop and it is a
joy to fly with excellent control authority and stability (intercoastals
were used on both the rudder and stabilizer). The panel includes includes a
Dynon D100, Flight Cheetah FL210 moving map GPS with satellite weather and
synthetic vision, EIS engine analyzer, icom A200 radio, and EP Load Center.
Custom features include cockpit adjustable rudder trim and custom built
hinge gap seals for the elevator which result in very effective elevator
control and easy three point landings just above stall speed. The polyfiber
system was used for coving and Aerothane paint was used throughout. Empty
weight is 838 pounds...several photos attached.
Looking forward to flying off the 40 hours!
Chris Engler
Kitfox 7 Rotax 912S

Lynn=2C The original builder of my plane's strong suit wasn't electrical. H
e for sure wasn't using the shielding going to the strobes. He had it tied
in with the wire's main element out at the wing tip=2C and I tried for a wh
ile to figure any logical reason in running from the buss to the switch and
then to the fuse.
Our EAA Chapter is planning to hold a fall cup race. The spring one had a 1
/2 hour course for your type plane. There were 2 582 powered Avid flyers en
tered. If you want to come out for the race=2C you can stay with me. Haven'
t got the date yet. I'll post it here when we have the date.

| Subject: | Anyone have extra set of drag tubes and brackets? |
Just thought I'd ask around. I need a set of drag/anti-drag tubes and brackets
for left wing on a model IV-1200. If you have a set you don't need or are willing
to part with, I'll buy them.
Thanks,
Scott
