I'm not sure how many list members have model 3's and are interested in this info
but I flew my model 3 with the shortened wings today for the first time and
heres what I noticed it was a little windy today so I may need to wait for
another day with no wind to see the speed difference but as far as I can tell
its not much faster maybe a few mph but I did notice some pleasant improvements
roll response is faster which I like and it seems like turns need less rudder
input now and also climb seems about the same 1400fpm but it seems like the
speed during the climb is faster overall it seems like the handling is better
or atleast I like it better, next is the pvc leading edge I hope to get this
done this week.

Ken, I have a model 3 that I just rebuilt and haven't flown yet. I should
have the airworthiness cert. Friday. Where are you located? Most of us use a
signature that states model,engine, location, etc.
do not archive

Ken,
I have a model IV with a 912ULS, but I flew off the original 40 hours
on a friend's Model IV Speedster. I found the roll response
considerably better with the shorter wings, and it didn't float as
much on landing flare. I liked it just fine.
I'm in Osceola, too--Osceola, Iowa.

Lyle, I forgot to mention that the landings were better I used to run out of elevator
authority before the plane was done flying making it hard to land but now
thats better as well.

| Subject: | Dual vernier throttle supplier? |
Hey guys,
I contacted Kitfox for a dual vernier throttle to hook up to my Rotax 912ULS.
The friction lock is driving me nuts .. They said their supplier recently discontinued
manufacturing the dual vernier thanks to some NTSB notice. So .. does
anybody know where to get a dual vernier or how to make one?? Thanks!
Carl
