Ken,
I have made the cabin wider on the model 2 by making the doors like the model 4
doors. The tubes in the middle of door can be replace with longer ones with
a bend in them outwards, Re skin with 1/16 lexan.
I likely got pics here some where -- I think it adds about 3 or 4 inches to cabin
width and cost for materials under 100$

....water is a 50-50 mix it is two years old and 183 hrs............
In the winter you need more anti freeze but in non freezing month or location you
can run 90% distilled water and 10% dexcool . Your temps will drop.
I would also swap temp and /or sensor , one at a time to make sure they are correct.
My Kitfox has run without a problem at 180 F cruise indicated for over 1300 hours
on several engines.
You would make your prop a but finer as well likely if you using a tiny tack.
those Rotax tachs are rarely accurate. 2 blade medium static 6300 to 6600 --
once airbourne they coursen up a bit. Great prop but you gotta tweak it like
any prop.
Hope that helps

rpm 180 degrees at cruse 5400 rpm 170-175 I and 70mph I have Changed the pitch
from static 5800 to 6200 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
no cht gage, it cools right off when pulling the throttle back and slowing
down, at 6000 rpm level still runs 180 + but i don't go much hotter. Question;
How hot do people run there's , What can I look for to run cooler ? My
next place will take out temp sender unit and put in hot water with thermometer
to see if the same. ANY thing will be appreciated, Thanks

Having a good time with my new IVO 68" ground adjustable light. Looks like cruise,
using a static ground rpm of about 5800 will give me 8-10 mph more than the
prior wooden prop putting me well into the yellow arc on my old (but trusty)
Model 2, 582 Bluehead, C box, with 2.62:1 ratio. That is, I was doing about
75 before and am approaching 85 now at 5800 cruise rpm.
A few comments:
-If there weren't so many of them out there flying for so long, and I was the first
customer, I'd be a little nervous with the documentation that came with it.
Ambiguous @ times. Here's an example:
"The only time you need to lock the screw adjuster with lock nut is when you pitch
the prop between the neutral and two turns pitch decrease, in all other pitch
setting screw adjuster stays where you leave it without a jam nut."
Hmm. My interpretation of this is that the big (32mm) jam nut on the center adjuster
bolt is superfluous then. In fact, I tried leaving it loosely tightened
against the flange during a ground run and it quickly loosened and the prop went
into coarse pitch. I read elsewhere on an ultralight blog that the center
nut should be tightened to 40 ft/lbs.
Gonna sell my old GSC. Anybody interested?
