| Subject: | Re: Brake pedal ergonomics |
I came to similar conclusions when I was installing the brakes last fall. The
solution I came up with was to cut a "wedge" out of the brake pedal tubing, bend
it forward until the wedge was closed and then weld the joint. The result
is that the pedals sit farther forward and my toes do not touch them when my feet
are on the rudder pedals.

people, which shifts the function of the brake farther back from the seat.
If this is the case is there still plenty of room to apply full brake?
James,
If you click the link I posted it will take you to a bunch of pics.

I have attached a picture of the new tips from Kiitfox. Much better IMHO
than the droop style. They aren't painted or properly installed yet, but
you can see the improvement in size. They are also much lighter.

Thanks for the kind words Don, It is a Model 5 - 1550. I played with allot
of designs on paper and I seem to keep coming back to some form of scallops,
they just seem to look good on a Kitfox.

| Subject: | how to deal with drilled holes. |
The three holes in the brace behind the pilots head, and another three
on the other side were left when an old advisory changed the fuel system
relocating the fuel taps slightly. These have been left as is for a
couple hundred hours of flight but I am hot sure that leaving them open
is the best idea. I have the idea that sealing or filling them is
required/desirable. How or what is the best way to seal these up? Or
should I ignore them?

Hello Dave. Any time you have to drill a hole in metal, you weaken a bit. I
f you should=C2- need to fasten somethin to the framework, use the correc
t clamps. I do understand you=C2-may have not drilled them. The metal=C2
-tube is stronger than common steel and has a bit more corrision resistan
ce. If it were my plane and she was an expermental, I would weld them shut.
First I would purge the frame work with Argon or Nitrogen: some inert gas
prior to welding.
You should be gettin a few replys after I leave you this one.=C2- Good lu
ck.

In my plane those would be covered by my pipe insulation pad head
rest. I suppose I would put some tape over them too, just to keep
moisture travel to a minimum.
