Do it the simple way and buy a USB plug in GPS for a notebook. Both
work fine and are reasonably priced. One thing to remember is If you
laptop has a hard drive vs flash memory it will be pretty easy to
destroy the HD. causes are head to disk clearances reduced due to
altitude and vibration both causing HD crash. The best setup I have
seen was a very inexpensive laptop wrapped in foam padding and
stuffed under the seat, then the guy had a modest sized LCD display
that he mounted on the panel. I thought he was taking risk for the HD
, but he said he had no issues yet.
The main issue is will the USB GPS have the features you desire?

I am getting some vague information from the FAA about my Kitfox
registration. My application is hung up somewhere because I didn't have the
bill of sale from Denney Aerocraft to the original owner in 1990. I have
told the FAA guy I want the plane to be "Experimental Light Sport" but the
application contained the line "not for light sport aircraft". The plane
meets all LSA criteria, so will it be licensed as LSA? Who here is "in the
know".

Paul,
This made me laugh, because I remembered my first flight in
a Kitfox. Our own Lowell Fitt was gracious enough to offer his
aircraft and flight instructor to me, a stranger, for an introductory
flight. (Thanks again Lowell. It proved to be the start of more than
one great friendship.) I'm about 6' and weighed about 200#. The
instructor weighted about 225#. It was no problem for Lowell's Fox
with the 912, but our comfort level was pretty low. I think we flew
with left shoulders back and right shoulders forward. That said I
know many who fly very long distances with two in their IV. (Steve
Kellender just flew with a passenger from Phoenix to Homedale and back.)

Portable devices don't usually use any kind of standard interface to talk to
its
own internal display so you can't just tap into it and route it to an
external
display. The maker of the device must build in extra circuitry to produce
some
kind of standard external signal output. It would be an extra cost for a
feature
that most people wouldn't use so they don't usually bother. I took a look
at the specifications for the Lowrance 500 and it doesn't mention anything
like that so I think you're out of luck.

Kitfox Factory Fly-in =93 SUCCESS
Celebrating 25 years of Kitfox !!
Thank you to all that helped make the Kitfox Fly-in 2009 a great success
!!
Over 35 aircraft and almost 100 people descended on S66
We have the best kit aircraft in our class and it follows with the class
of the individuals that choose to make the Kitfox their aircraft of
choice. With almost 5000 kits sold worldwide, it is very exciting when
one gets the opportunity to view one of the earliest Kitfox=99s,
N85DD, to the latest kit, the S7 Super Sport and the latest development
the Kitfox S-LSA joined by Dan Denney and his =9CSpecial
Effects=9D at the same time in one place. Followed by the
individuals that offer their time and expertise to aid a fellow Kitfoxer
get back in the air quickly when misfortune strikes. We had
Kitfox=99s fly-in from Southern California, Washington, Utah,
Colorado, Arizona and as far as Austin Texas. All are home safe.
Local area flights to the Owyhees were abundant and flights into Smiley
Creek and Sulpher Creek are trips not to be missed. The smoked bbq food
was great, the live music a pleasure and most important the Kitfox
family had a great time
Great Fun!! Great Food !! Great Flying !!
Debra & I thank you for taking the time to join us in celebrating 25
years of Kitfox !!

In a perfect world, it could, John. But not in this one.
I collaborate to the PocketFMS software which gives a moving map and flight
planner
on small devices like PocketPC and carNav with GPS. It's hell! Each device
has its own way to do things, own operative sytem, Windows Mobile, Windows
CE,
etc. Everyone is trying to get all the others to adopt their standard, they
want to be the new rulers of the world. Even here, in Norway, they have
started
with a pocket TV. It works on a system that is only used by three providers,
here in Norway. You can't use it anywhere else in the world. Needless to
say;
I am not buying that stuff.
Years ago, I asked a good friend who is also the director for JVC Norway why
the
hi-fi industry can't get around to standard types of cables. He answered:
Well,
we make money selling hi-fi equimpment but we also like to make money
selling
cables.

I am getting some vague information from the FAA about my Kitfox
registration. My application is hung up somewhere because I didn't have the
bill of sale from Denney Aerocraft to the original owner in 1990. I have
told the FAA guy I want the plane to be "Experimental Light Sport" but the
application contained the line "not for light sport aircraft". The plane
meets all LSA criteria, so will it be licensed as LSA? Who here is "in the
know".

Paul,
This made me laugh, because I remembered my first flight in
a Kitfox. Our own Lowell Fitt was gracious enough to offer his
aircraft and flight instructor to me, a stranger, for an introductory
flight. (Thanks again Lowell. It proved to be the start of more than
one great friendship.) I'm about 6' and weighed about 200#. The
instructor weighted about 225#. It was no problem for Lowell's Fox
with the 912, but our comfort level was pretty low. I think we flew
with left shoulders back and right shoulders forward. That said I
know many who fly very long distances with two in their IV. (Steve
Kellender just flew with a passenger from Phoenix to Homedale and back.)

Portable devices don't usually use any kind of standard interface to talk to
its
own internal display so you can't just tap into it and route it to an
external
display. The maker of the device must build in extra circuitry to produce
some
kind of standard external signal output. It would be an extra cost for a
feature
that most people wouldn't use so they don't usually bother. I took a look
at the specifications for the Lowrance 500 and it doesn't mention anything
like that so I think you're out of luck.

Kitfox Factory Fly-in =93 SUCCESS
Celebrating 25 years of Kitfox !!
Thank you to all that helped make the Kitfox Fly-in 2009 a great success
!!
Over 35 aircraft and almost 100 people descended on S66
We have the best kit aircraft in our class and it follows with the class
of the individuals that choose to make the Kitfox their aircraft of
choice. With almost 5000 kits sold worldwide, it is very exciting when
one gets the opportunity to view one of the earliest Kitfox=99s,
N85DD, to the latest kit, the S7 Super Sport and the latest development
the Kitfox S-LSA joined by Dan Denney and his =9CSpecial
Effects=9D at the same time in one place. Followed by the
individuals that offer their time and expertise to aid a fellow Kitfoxer
get back in the air quickly when misfortune strikes. We had
Kitfox=99s fly-in from Southern California, Washington, Utah,
Colorado, Arizona and as far as Austin Texas. All are home safe.
Local area flights to the Owyhees were abundant and flights into Smiley
Creek and Sulpher Creek are trips not to be missed. The smoked bbq food
was great, the live music a pleasure and most important the Kitfox
family had a great time
Great Fun!! Great Food !! Great Flying !!
Debra & I thank you for taking the time to join us in celebrating 25
years of Kitfox !!

In a perfect world, it could, John. But not in this one.
I collaborate to the PocketFMS software which gives a moving map and flight
planner
on small devices like PocketPC and carNav with GPS. It's hell! Each device
has its own way to do things, own operative sytem, Windows Mobile, Windows
CE,
etc. Everyone is trying to get all the others to adopt their standard, they
want to be the new rulers of the world. Even here, in Norway, they have
started
with a pocket TV. It works on a system that is only used by three providers,
here in Norway. You can't use it anywhere else in the world. Needless to
say;
I am not buying that stuff.
Years ago, I asked a good friend who is also the director for JVC Norway why
the
hi-fi industry can't get around to standard types of cables. He answered:
Well,
we make money selling hi-fi equimpment but we also like to make money
selling
cables.

Ed,
I'm not sure I completely understand your paperwork problem. Are you
dealing with a DAR who has inspected the plane and is going to provide
your operating specifications? Or are you referring to the
registration for the N number? Is the DAR an FAA person or a
designee? I'm just trying to get a better understanding of where you
are in the process.
TO answer your question, although I'm not 100% certain, this is my
understanding of the rules; your aircraft will be registered as an
Experimental - Amateur Built (E-AB). You can't register it as a light
sport, since it has been previously registered as E-AB. However, you
may operate it under the light sport aircraft rules provided it meets
the criteria for LSA as you say it does (weight, engine, prop, etc.)
I believe that is what you after anyway.
I just went through the process last year and that is how my paperwork
was completed. I'm sure if I erred, someone on the list will let us
know.
Happy flying!

Just to complete Rick's assessment here - the only reason to operate an
LSA-compliant EAB aircraft is as a Sport Pilot. Sport Pilots are not allowed
to fly anything other than LSA certificated aircraft or aircraft that meet
LSA requirements. Are you a Sport Pilot Ed?

Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: Registration problems
Ed,
I'm not sure I completely understand your paperwork problem. Are you
dealing with a DAR who has inspected the plane and is going to provide your
operating specifications? Or are you referring to the registration for the
N number? Is the DAR an FAA person or a designee? I'm just trying to get a
better understanding of where you are in the process.
TO answer your question, although I'm not 100% certain, this is my
understanding of the rules; your aircraft will be registered as an
Experimental - Amateur Built (E-AB). You can't register it as a light
sport, since it has been previously registered as E-AB. However, you may
operate it under the light sport aircraft rules provided it meets the
criteria for LSA as you say it does (weight, engine, prop, etc.) I believe
that is what you after anyway.
I just went through the process last year and that is how my paperwork was
completed. I'm sure if I erred, someone on the list will let us know.
Happy flying!

meets all LSA criteria, so will it be licensed as LSA? Who here is "in the

Paul,
This made me laugh, because I remembered my first flight in
a Kitfox. Our own Lowell Fitt was gracious enough to offer his
aircraft and flight instructor to me, a stranger, for an introductory
flight. (Thanks again Lowell. It proved to be the start of more than
one great friendship.) I'm about 6' and weighed about 200#. The
instructor weighted about 225#. It was no problem for Lowell's Fox
with the 912, but our comfort level was pretty low. I think we flew
with left shoulders back and right shoulders forward. That said I
know many who fly very long distances with two in their IV. (Steve
Kellender just flew with a passenger from Phoenix to Homedale and back.)

11 years ago, the late Miguel Ramirez and I attempted to fly together in

While we could twist our bodies a little for shoulder room we could not
both be seated

Portable devices don't usually use any kind of standard interface to talk to
its
own internal display so you can't just tap into it and route it to an
external
display. The maker of the device must build in extra circuitry to produce
some
kind of standard external signal output. It would be an extra cost for a
feature
that most people wouldn't use so they don't usually bother. I took a look
at the specifications for the Lowrance 500 and it doesn't mention anything
like that so I think you're out of luck.

Kitfox Factory Fly-in =93 SUCCESS
Celebrating 25 years of Kitfox !!
Thank you to all that helped make the Kitfox Fly-in 2009 a great success
!!
Over 35 aircraft and almost 100 people descended on S66
We have the best kit aircraft in our class and it follows with the class
of the individuals that choose to make the Kitfox their aircraft of
choice. With almost 5000 kits sold worldwide, it is very exciting when
one gets the opportunity to view one of the earliest Kitfox=99s,
N85DD, to the latest kit, the S7 Super Sport and the latest development
the Kitfox S-LSA joined by Dan Denney and his =9CSpecial
Effects=9D at the same time in one place. Followed by the
individuals that offer their time and expertise to aid a fellow Kitfoxer
get back in the air quickly when misfortune strikes. We had
Kitfox=99s fly-in from Southern California, Washington, Utah,
Colorado, Arizona and as far as Austin Texas. All are home safe.
Local area flights to the Owyhees were abundant and flights into Smiley
Creek and Sulpher Creek are trips not to be missed. The smoked bbq food
was great, the live music a pleasure and most important the Kitfox
family had a great time
Great Fun!! Great Food !! Great Flying !!
Debra & I thank you for taking the time to join us in celebrating 25
years of Kitfox !!

Have any of you taken a handheld GPS and used it to drive a small

In a perfect world, it could, John. But not in this one.
I collaborate to the PocketFMS software which gives a moving map and flight
planner
on small devices like PocketPC and carNav with GPS. It's hell! Each device
has its own way to do things, own operative sytem, Windows Mobile, Windows
CE,
etc. Everyone is trying to get all the others to adopt their standard, they
want to be the new rulers of the world. Even here, in Norway, they have
started
with a pocket TV. It works on a system that is only used by three providers,
here in Norway. You can't use it anywhere else in the world. Needless to
say;
I am not buying that stuff.
Years ago, I asked a good friend who is also the director for JVC Norway why
the
hi-fi industry can't get around to standard types of cables. He answered:
Well,
we make money selling hi-fi equimpment but we also like to make money
selling
cables.

Ed,
Need more info. If this is the first registration and you are the
builder it will be registered E-AB. You can no longer register E-LSA.
Sounds like you purchased the kit from an individual that purchased it from
Denney Aerocraft. If that is the case then visit the our web and click the
Bill of Sale link http://www.kitfoxaircraft.com/FAQ-Tech.htm There are
instructions and a letter for registering your aircraft.
If the configuration of the aircraft meets the definition of Light Sport
Aircraft than it can be operated by a Sport Pilot.
Please feel free to contact us direct if we can be any help.
Fly Safe !!

I am getting some vague information from the FAA about my Kitfox
registration. My application is hung up somewhere because I didn't have the
bill of sale from Denney Aerocraft to the original owner in 1990. I have
told the FAA guy I want the plane to be "Experimental Light Sport" but the
application contained the line "not for light sport aircraft". The plane
meets all LSA criteria, so will it be licensed as LSA? Who here is "in the

Paul,
This made me laugh, because I remembered my first flight in a
Kitfox. Our own Lowell Fitt was gracious enough to offer his aircraft and
flight instructor to me, a stranger, for an introductory flight. (Thanks
again Lowell. It proved to be the start of more than one great friendship.)
I'm about 6' and weighed about 200#. The instructor weighted about 225#. It
was no problem for Lowell's Fox with the 912, but our comfort level was
pretty low. I think we flew with left shoulders back and right shoulders
forward. That said I know many who fly very long distances with two in their
IV. (Steve Kellender just flew with a passenger from Phoenix to Homedale and
back.)

We are not uncomfortable in the plane with the bubble doors. It's cozy, but
not
uncomfortable. Of course it's not a Cirrus or anything, but it is
functional
with two "real" adults in it. Much better than a C150, IMO.

Portable devices don't usually use any kind of standard interface to talk to
its
own internal display so you can't just tap into it and route it to an
external
display. The maker of the device must build in extra circuitry to produce
some
kind of standard external signal output. It would be an extra cost for a
feature
that most people wouldn't use so they don't usually bother. I took a look
at the specifications for the Lowrance 500 and it doesn't mention anything
like that so I think you're out of luck.

Pat, I also bought some of that material and have looked thru

However I have a lot left and could ship you some.
Let me know how much you need. Seems like I bought
16' or 18' X 14". I split of 3" strips for gap seals.
By the way, got the tires.

Kitfox Factory Fly-in =93 SUCCESS
Celebrating 25 years of Kitfox !!
Thank you to all that helped make the Kitfox Fly-in 2009 a great success
!!
Over 35 aircraft and almost 100 people descended on S66
We have the best kit aircraft in our class and it follows with the class
of the individuals that choose to make the Kitfox their aircraft of
choice. With almost 5000 kits sold worldwide, it is very exciting when
one gets the opportunity to view one of the earliest Kitfox=99s,
N85DD, to the latest kit, the S7 Super Sport and the latest development
the Kitfox S-LSA joined by Dan Denney and his =9CSpecial
Effects=9D at the same time in one place. Followed by the
individuals that offer their time and expertise to aid a fellow Kitfoxer
get back in the air quickly when misfortune strikes. We had
Kitfox=99s fly-in from Southern California, Washington, Utah,
Colorado, Arizona and as far as Austin Texas. All are home safe.
Local area flights to the Owyhees were abundant and flights into Smiley
Creek and Sulpher Creek are trips not to be missed. The smoked bbq food
was great, the live music a pleasure and most important the Kitfox
family had a great time
Great Fun!! Great Food !! Great Flying !!
Debra & I thank you for taking the time to join us in celebrating 25
years of Kitfox !!

In a perfect world, it could, John. But not in this one.
I collaborate to the PocketFMS software which gives a moving map and flight
planner
on small devices like PocketPC and carNav with GPS. It's hell! Each device
has its own way to do things, own operative sytem, Windows Mobile, Windows
CE,
etc. Everyone is trying to get all the others to adopt their standard, they
want to be the new rulers of the world. Even here, in Norway, they have
started
with a pocket TV. It works on a system that is only used by three providers,
here in Norway. You can't use it anywhere else in the world. Needless to
say;
I am not buying that stuff.
Years ago, I asked a good friend who is also the director for JVC Norway why
the
hi-fi industry can't get around to standard types of cables. He answered:
Well,
we make money selling hi-fi equimpment but we also like to make money
selling
cables.

The problem you stated has nothing to do with light sport. The new rule st
ates that to REGISTER an airplane you must have a paper trail to the bill o
f sale from the manufacturer. Not about airworthiness certification=2C but
registration of the plane. There is another box on the application that s
ays "assembled from miscelanious parts". That one requires no bill of sale
. You may have a problem having "checked the wrong box".

I'm not sure I completely understand your paperwork problem. Are you deali

ating specifications? Or are you referring to the registration for the N n
umber? Is the DAR an FAA person or a designee? I'm just trying to get a b

TO answer your question=2C although I'm not 100% certain=2C this is my unde
rstanding of the rules=3B your aircraft will be registered as an Experiment
al - Amateur Built (E-AB). You can't register it as a light sport=2C since
it has been previously registered as E-AB. However=2C you may operate it u
nder the light sport aircraft rules provided it meets the criteria for LSA
as you say it does (weight=2C engine=2C prop=2C etc.) I believe that is wh

I just went through the process last year and that is how my paperwork was

Thank you to all that helped make the Kitfox Fly-in 2009 a great success

Over 35 aircraft and almost 100 people descended on S66
We have the best kit aircraft in our class and it follows with the class
of the individuals that choose to make the Kitfox their aircraft of
choice. With almost 5000 kits sold worldwide=2C it is very exciting when
one gets the opportunity to view one of the earliest Kitfox=99s=2C
N85DD=2C to the latest kit=2C the S7 Super Sport and the latest developmen
t
the Kitfox S-LSA joined by Dan Denney and his =9CSpecial
Effects=9D at the same time in one place. Followed by the
individuals that offer their time and expertise to aid a fellow Kitfoxer
get back in the air quickly when misfortune strikes. We had
Kitfox=99s fly-in from Southern California=2C Washington=2C Utah=2C
Colorado=2C Arizona and as far as Austin Texas. All are home safe.
Local area flights to the Owyhees were abundant and flights into Smiley
Creek and Sulpher Creek are trips not to be missed. The smoked bbq food
was great=2C the live music a pleasure and most important the Kitfox
family had a great time
Great Fun!! Great Food !! Great Flying !!

Have any of you taken a handheld GPS and used it to drive a small

I collaborate to the PocketFMS software which gives a moving map and flight

I am not buying that stuff.
Years ago=2C I asked a good friend who is also the director for JVC Norway
why
