wires?
> The magneto wires on my Kitfox feature a braided coaxial shield. I'm not
too enthused about the way these were handled by the original builder. The
shield is basically bunched together and soldered to a ground wire. One of
the solder joints was hanging on literally by a thread .. so what do you
guys recommend for tying the braided magneto shield to a ground wire? I'm
considering bunching the braid together, applying a dab of solder, then butt
splicing to the ground wire.

Carl, does this example look better?

Pat,
I have most of the mods that Lowell offers for the Kitfox as well. (trim
system,oil & coolant shutters,throttle bug ,low fuel warning and bush gear)
These have made this a MUCH better aircraft having cured all the things
that bugged me about the airplane ! I told Lowell that if something else
comes out of his brain,let me test it as I will likely buy it.
Wait till you fly with the "bush gear" you think you like it now! It's
great ! What a "pussycat" the airplane is in the ground handling department!
(and stability on approach)

... how do I know what I drink, I am already blind! :-))
Seriously and regarding soldering: The only place I have it is on the end terminal
of the throttle cable of my Jabiru. The end terminal is conic and you open
the wires of the cable into the cone and fill it with solder.

My sight gages also show a lot of fuel when in fact there isn't. Is there a fix
to this ploblem so there can be relied on?

Pat,
Wish I had one of those on my Kitfox5 when I my plane ran out of fuel with both
sides showing 3/4 of fuel.
Little off topic but am replacing windshield and side windows. Does anyone know
what thickness on the windshield and the side windows I should be using? Also
what type of material should I use? Will one sheet 4x8 cover both of these?
Thanks,
LeRoy

Bob, many of the sight gauges on Kitfoxes have a small nylon restrictor
in the bottom part that has a tiny hole in it to allow fuel through.
It's purpose is to dampen large fuel level fluctuations during
turbulence. If you have these, it's possible they may be plugged. Easy
to check. I removed mine as I found that they weren't necessary. That
was seven years ago and I haven't found any reason to replace them.
