I started with snips, moved to a Dremel tool with diamond blade, then ended up
using a multi-function oscillating tool (Fein or Harbor Freight) with a steel
half moon blade. The blade has small, closely spaced teeth and cut faster than
the small diamond grit Dremel blade when set slow to avoid melting. Cut cleanly
right along the line with excellent control and required little edge polishing.
Did the front strut curves with a small drum sander in the Dremel.

Kitfoxers, I'm running a 582 C box with a 72" Warp Drive prop. What RPM
should I be running in straight and level flight, cruise and full throttle.
Also I can idle down below 2000 RPM on ground at start up but on approach I
have trouble getting RPM below 3000. I can't get her to stop pulling, hard
to land when you can't get her to idle down.

Marked lexan with pen. Cut with sabre saw.

Set it up for 6800 WOT, level flight, at about 6500' density altitude.
Everything else is what it is. I cruise at about 75% power, which works
out to 90% of your WOT speed. (Speed varies as the cube root of power.)
Can't help you with idle, as I always had an RK400 clutch, which I can't
recommend enough.

Dwight, Yes the C box is a 3 to 1 reduction.

Guy, Thanks for info. My biggest concern is that high idle on final at
flare.

It's been a common problem on the list in the past. That's one reason
why a lot of us run the clutch. I've always loved it. I notice the price
is up to $520US. Hard to swallow when the whole engine's only worth a
few grand. I do think, though, that it's the best improvement you can do
to a flying 582.
