Try it , you will be surprized. I don't like reaching out over that big hole
to reach the handle on the bottom of the door ,so I have learned that if I
am a bit gentle with the controls I can actually swing the door down quite
gentley and grab the handle/latch at the bottom and lock it.

Sorry if this is a repeat, but I didn't see it posted after two
days.....
Ok, Pat, I got my schedule worked out....I fly outta here on
Thursday, 7-21-2010, and head for Mitchell, SD, to take part in the
AirVenture Cup Race.....yeee--haaa!
Then on Sunday, the 25th, we all...about 60 planes...head for
Oshkosh. So I'll be in Oshkosh (hopefully) Sunday afternoon, and will
probably stay for 4-5 days.
I guess I'm the only Kitfox in the "race"....I put that in quotes
because I won't be racing anybody but the fuel gauge in my plane,
figuring I can make it easily on the on-board fuel, if I run LOP, and
maybe even if I didn't. But I'm determined to make the
distance...about 443 sm....to Snow Crest (this years' finish line)
running just the way I always run it these days...LOP.
So no Baraboo for me this year....

I think Lynn means Lean Off Peak --- which is his carb setting to get the
most efficient cruise. If it's not right he'll probably be on later and
correct the meaning of LOP.

Vic-
That stands for "lean of peak"(EGT), and it refers to running the
fuel mixture setting so lean that the exhaust gas temperatures
(EGT's) actually run cooler than they would at a normally-high-temp
lean setting. You save fuel running this way, but don't produce as
much power, and the engine will last longer running LOP, because the
CHT's run cooler, and cooler (up to a point) is better. A lot of
people don't believe this, but I've seen the results in my own
engine, and heard of other reports that reflect better engine life.

Ted-
Pretty close...it's "lean OF peak". And just for the record, I've got
a throttle-body injector, not a carb, but you're right...it's a
setting of the fuel mixture that makes the engine use less fuel and
allows cooler running, but make less power. It can only be used when
you have a throttle setting of about 65-70% power.

Vic-
Bing does a fine job of "hands off" flying, but once you leave the
ground with a particular fuel mixture....according to whatever jet
and metering needle you have on board...that's about what you've got,
and you can't change it on the fly like you can with a mixture-
controllable throttle body injector (TBI), or other such fuel
metering system.

Lynn, Good luck in the race. Look for Red Hamilton. He has a white Tailwind.
He averaged over 200 mph last year to win his class. That class is a hot
class populated with RV's and the canard pushers. I would imagine he will be
there this year. Last year he flew to Baraboo and then the race. Where does
the race originate this year?

It starts in Mitchell, South Dakota.
Yes, I see Red Hamilton and another person listed in the Tailwind.
There are 5 others in his class. I'm the lone plane in what they call
the Sprint-LSA class, so I guess I've "won" my class already...*IF* I
can get to Mitchell, and IF I can finish, that is. I've got a hunch
there'll be others joining up for next years' race...I don't know why
there aren't more LSA's this year.
