That should do it, thanks! How often do you repack your bearings?

| Subject: | Aerocet 1100 Amphibs |
Hello Fellow Kitfoxers,
Does anybody know how to get rid of the cables and pulleys in the Aerocet
1100 amphibs and replace with electric motors? I saw out in cyberspace there
were a few people have done it but I could not download pictures or plans.
They stated that with the electrics, they saved a few pounds and it was a
cleaner installation.
Thanks,

Once a year at condition inspection. I had a hard time finding the seals the first
year so I got two sets then get a set each year so i always have a set on
hand just in case.
Here's a link to the EAA "Hints for Home Builders" shorty video on packing wheel bearings. The seals shown are different than a kitfox...kitfox are better...but the rest is good. I didn't know I was supposed to wash my hands first. http://www.eaavideo.org/video.aspx?v=86367874001

Thanks Bob, went back and sealed all exits from the area and then put a
little lung power into the area, definitely leaking through the shaft seal
and out that hole. Very disappointing to pay a listed repair station for
repairs and have it come back with the cylinders misaligned and the shaft
seal leaking.
Not quite sure what I'll do now.

Fix it yourself. It's worth the education and the knowledge it's done
right. There's plenty of help here and on the Matronics Rotax forum.

Dear friends,
I=C2=B4ve instaled a new IVO prop in my Kitfox classic IV with a Rotax 912S
. I=C2=B4ve seen complicated the way it operates, checking maniful presure,
RPM, power, etc. I wonder if someone has found a system for IVO as simple
as the Air-plast prop, an indicator of how much degrees the prop has in cer
tain point, or something as a led gradual scale indicator as the trims have
.
I appreciate in advance your opinions,
Francisco Icaza.=C2-

Is there another source for the inner wheel bearing seal? I have the standa
rd Douglas wheel with golf cart tire. Various checklists for the annual con
dition inspection include packing the wheel bearings, but to do so on the i
nner bearing requires probably destroying the inner seal. I have purchased
these before from the McBeans, but don=C3=A2=82=AC=84=A2t seem to be
connecting with them.

an IVO is the simplest prop to set that I have seen on the market. Just bolt it
on, warm it up, do a static run up and see how many RPM you are turning. If
you are not getting full RPM, crank a little out. If you are over revving, crank
a little more in. You can tweek it a little bit to get the blades set just
right for take off and cruise after a few flights.

Jim, I cant believe you bought some of the snake oil I promoted ha ha. Just kidding,
it's a great oil, I just had to make a reference to the snake oil salesman
thing..
Guy,
I would google CITGO and call there customer service and find out if there is a
store near you, or any bulk petroleum sales outlet that carries it. We dont
have any CITGO stations in our area, and I have to drive 180 miles to get mine,
but I buy 10+ cases at a time so it makes it well worth it!

Needing help with roll technique. I decided to try a few rolls in my model
2 with 582, so I put on my parachute, climbed to 5k and tried a few. I
entered at 80 mph with 10 deg. Nose up, put in full left aileron, some left
rudder, and maintained back pressure. When inverted, the nose dropped fast
and at 270 deg. I was in a steep dive, so ended up sort of a split S out of
it. Tried it several times with similar results.
What is the best procedure and entry speed and angle for an aileron roll?
Also, anyone have experience with Cuban Eights?
