I purchased a gyro that was home built about two years ago. I could not license
it EXPERIMENTAL since I did not build it. The FAA registered it ELSA. They used
ELSA when they were trying to get all aircraft licensed last year (heavy ultralights,
unlicensed aircraft, ...). I think they stopped using this option
after the 1 year 'grace period'. I was also able to go to a 2 day CONDITIONAL
INSPECTION course and now I can also do my own annuals.

Hello guys,
I got an email from a Danish F-16 pilot who wonder how it is to fly a Kitfox. He
lives nearly 100 miles from his air base and consider buying a light plane to
fly to and from work. But, because he must fly all days, also in the winter,
be must do it IFR. He has all the licenses he needs for it but ... can a Kitfox
built under the Experimental rule be instrumented and certified IFR?
He lives near a little grass landing strip and will fly to his military base, with
all the whistles and bells; including ILS.
Cheers,
Michel

Michel,
For what it's worth - while getting my Kitfox II it's ELSA (Experimental,
Light Sport) Airworthiness Certification and reviewing the restrictions
issued with the certificate I asked my DAR that specific question - he said
that as long as the aircraft has the proper lighting and instruments and the
pilot is Instrument Rated there are no restrictions on my airplane to fly it
IFR. All I need now is about $30,000 worth of upgrades! ;-)
But I would also first seriously consider the airplane-in-question's ability
to handle bad weather and turbulence, personally I feel my Model II is a
great fair-weather plane but I would be extremely cautious about any IFR
conditions that might include turbulence, but that's just my opinion. It's a
*very* light airplane, however I believe later heavier Kitfox models are a
lot more stable in rough conditions so might be better suited for IFR.

Michel,
I have no personal experience in this, but here in the US, there have been
several pilots that flew IFR regularly. Michael Harder comes to mind. I
know of another that lives in the coastal area and uses it to punch through
the usual morning fog layer. What I have heard, however, is that because
the Kitfox tends to be a bit bouncy in turbulance, it is not the best IFR
platform.

With all due respect to Michael,he did a lot of things with his Kitfox that
a prudent pilot would/should probably not attempt. The last one cost him
dearly.

| Subject: | Re: Rotec TBI success story |
I was referring to the Aerocarb. I didn't want to mention the name
because I think the Aerocarb folks have got a radar that sniffs out
any mention of the "A" word and sends bad vibes your way. Kinda
kidding, but there was a guy who bad-mouthed the A'carb, and got
removed from the Yahoo group for his bad reports. It might have been
deserved, I don't know all the facts about it.
The Aerocarb is sold by the Sonex folks, and they swear by it. Some
owners of the A'carb have expressed having great difficulty in
getting them to work right, and others....those that follow the
instructions, perhaps....bolt them on and tweak a little and go
flying. The Jabiru engine site on Yahoo, periodically has a lot of
give-and-take on the subject, and once in a while the Sonex folks
will chime in with a reminder to follow the instructions and the carb
will work just fine.
And when I said "Bing replacement" I didn't mean to suggest that the
Rotec TBI-40 is a parallel swap for the Bing. I meant to say that it
is another option for folks who want to explore another form of fuel
system....and I love to try something new.
P.S. "terse" had me scrambling for the dictionary....I hadn't heard
that word in ages. : ) Just how old ARE you, Guy? : )

Thank you for your answers, Lowell and Bob.
Of course, a Kitfox feels more turbulence than a F-16. Incidentally, one week ago,
I went flying alone in the mountains for the first time after I got my license
back. Nice summer weather, sunny and warm. I flew to Fyresdal, a nice place
inland. On my leg home, in the initial and very long climb, it got very turbulent
from the thermals and I hit a real "air hole," it went very fast but from
the corner of my eye, I saw my pilot bag mid-air in the cockpit. The strange
thing was that, right after that, the air was extremely smooth. As Rod Machado
writes it: Turbulence are like waves at sea, only that you don't seen them
and that's what scary movies are made off! :-)
Noel, of course he can't land on the grass strip in IFR conditions. The commercial
airport of Odense is not far from his home, as he tells me. For those interested,
Odense was the home of H.C. Andersen, the famous Danish fairy tales author.

| Subject: | Re: Rotec TBI success story |
Three good flights today. After first tying the plane to a farm
implement and running it up for nearly a minute at 2880 static, I
took off with about the same "feel" as with the Bing. Rpm was
2850-2910 or so, but what bothered me was the fuel flow indicator was
showing 4.5-4.7 gals/hr, where before with the Bing, it would show
6.6-6.8 gph. Later on, after flying it at various throttle settings,
I found that as I increased the throttle from 3000, it would read
3040, 3050, 3060, 3070 ok, then any more throttle and the rpm would
drop. This is probably why Jabiru/Bing say not to alter the WOT
setting which is a stop on the carb. In fact in the literature that
came with the TBI (either in the lit, or it was Paul, the Rotec tech
that said it) it says that you may have to stop the throttle short of
fully open. Tomorrow I will insert some slotted washers behind the
throttle control to prevent the knob from hitting the panel. It might
just be that my low fuel use during takeoff was an indication that I
had reached the point where the rpm's would drop, and this is what
caused the low fuel-burn numbers. After I do this simple "throttle
stop with washers", I'll note where it starts to bog down, and adjust
the cable accordingly. I'm hoping to see better flow numbers after
this change. If I don't, I'll have to look elsewhere to find the cause.
One thing about the mixture control....it takes some getting used to
it, after having relied on the Bing to do the work. It's amazing how
fast you can see those EGT number change when tweaking the "red knob."

The aircraft first flew in 96. I doubt if the seat had been removed before,

I had cause to remove the seat in my KF 3, (total airfrme hours around 600)
and found the pilot's seat belt badly worn where it passes through the sea
t pan. It has actually cut pretty well half way through. The damage could n
ot be seen from above, and had gone unnoticed as its very hard to see under
the seat without removing it.

I think thats a very sensible thing to do, I shall do the same with mine in
the future.
I also found scuffing marks on the aileron control rods, they had never fel
t stiff but the paint had come off the top of the rods where they had rubbe
d on the seat.- The foam blocks under the seat were showing signs of perm
anent compression so I replaced them.
I think maybe the guy who had the plane before me was a bit heavier!

Good post Mike.
I figured that was a wear point so spent a lot of time checking the fit and
making sure the edges of the seat belt slot in the seat were rounded and s
mooth as I could make them.- I take the seat out and inspect the belts ea
ch condition inspection.
I also extended the plastic tubing the rudder cables run in farther back th
an the manual showed to prevent the cables from rubbing on the out side sea

Patrick,
If you still want a seat pan I know where there may be one, but its over he
re in the UK. so postage costs may be a bit expensive.- My engineering in
spector has the remains of a KF 3 which is not repairable due to corrosion.
(It turned over during a water landing and water got into the tubing and c
orroded them from the inside).
He has supplied me with the pilots harness to replace my damaged one, and m
ay have other useable bits and pieces.-

I just chatted with the A/P who does a lot of work with our EAA chapter. He told
me we have about half a dozen fixed wing aircraft in the local area that are
ELSA. These aircraft are home built but for numerous reasons were never were
licensed EXPERIMENTAL and were just being flown as VERY HEAVY ULTRALIGHTS....lol..The
FAA gave a chance for all these ROGUE aircraft to get legal by licensing
them under the ELSA. This was about 2 years ago and terminated Dec 2008. If
you did not take advantage of this AMNESTY you are really *^^)(& if you ever
need to get legal now on a plane that was not registered by the original builder.

PS..Kind of interesting..If you purchased a EXPERIMENTAL aircraft (and were not
the builder) you need a A/P to do the annual. If you purchased the same plane
(and was unlicensed) under the ELSA amnesty anybody can go to a 2 day course
and get a REPAIRMANS CERTIFICATE and do the annuals and the same aircraft..
PS..To be honest...the ELSA does have some restrictions that a fully registered
EXPERIMENTAL does not have.

| Subject: | Aerobatic entry speeds. |
My connection at the FAA wants me to put the Kitfox back in phase one and d
o flight tests before he re issues another airworthiness certificate and op
erating limitations without the "aerobatics prohibited". I find it an odd
way to get new operating limits=2C but don't want to debate the proccess wi
th the FAA. I was wondering if anyone had either published=2C or their own
numbers to use for entering and exiting loops. rolls etc. I'll have to re
cord my speeds and G forces and submit those log entrys with my request. T
he sad part is going to be mailing off my current AW cert and waiting for t
he new one. My plane is a Kitfox IV speedster=2C but any numbers=2C advice
=2C experiance to draw from would be appreciated.
Thanks Ron NB Ore N541KF
