Steve,
That looks like the ones I saw on the Model II at the Carleton Place, Ontario fly-in
back in Sept. Am interested in using them on my Model II if they fit.
Cheers

200 and no change I have a two blade IVO Medium for at least 100 hr now-
Checked the carbon on pistons but looks clean- I moved the radiator down
one inch to get more air on it-, the outside air temp is been 80-85 water
is a 50-50 mix it is two years old and 183 hrs, egt's run about 1150-1100

Subject: Kitfox-List: 8mm vs AN5 prop bolts
Got my new Ivo light 68" ground adjustable prop in. Sure is smooth on runup
and love that easy ground adjusting method. Weather won't allow inflight t
est yet though.
The supplied 8mm mounting bolts work but are a little long for my taste. On
ce properly torqued, the threaded end comes within a few mm of touching the
'C' gearbox housing. Also, I'd feel better if they were drilled and I coul
d safety wire them too.
So the question is, can one get shorter 8mm AN quality bolts with the heads
drilled? Should I just use drilled AN5 bolts instead? Or, should I just ad
d some washers on the face of the prop hub and not worry about safety wirin
g?

Jerry,
I run up to 180 on takeoff if the ground is above 90F. S&L I rarely
go over 160 no matter how hot it gets. I'd check the thermostat- I've
had several fail, sometimes they even break in half. Check the vent in
the water pump to make sure you don't have an air bubble. Make sure none
of your water lines loop over such that they can trap a bubble.
