From: "cschmokel" 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!

Hart" Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: Kitfox 5 Safari airworthiness directives? 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.

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?
