      Hey everyone,
      
      I'm helping a mechanic do my first annual on the Kitfox 5 I bought last year. 
      We're having a heck of a time finding airworthiness directives for it.  I searched
      the FAA AD database to no avail, as well as the ATP Navigator maintenance
      software.  Any ideas, folks?  Thanks!

      What type of airworthiness certificate do you have?  If it's an
      Experimental/Amateur Built aircraft, there will be no AD's issued for the
      airframe by the FAA.  If it is Experimental/Amateur Built and has a FAA type
      accepted engine and/or prop, the AD's that apply to those items must be
      complied with.  If it has experimental engine/prop, there are no AD's issued
      by the FAA.

      I believe what is the equivalent of A. D.'s for for kit planes is 
      Service Bulletins and Service Letters
      Go to: http://www.kitfoxaircraft.com/FAQ-Tech.htm
      Click on Service Bulletins and Service Letters and search for your model.

      I did not have much luck with the blocks. I am welding in a extra 1.5 inch extension
      to raise the brake bar. Hope to test it in the next day or so.

    Subject: rotary oil cap vent
    From: "jridgway" <jridgway@academicplanet.com>
          
      
      Hi, Just checked my rotary valve bowl cap. It has a small hole in the cap, however,
      it seems that there is a sealed paper/ rubber gasket inside the cap.
      This gasket does not have a hole in it. How is this working?

      Values changed for most of us on certain parts. You should be using the new values
      because the old may have had an issue Rotax was tweaking.
