Registered as amateur built. the previous owner did not see fit to pass on any logs, he promised to but I have to think at this point they are never coming. My annual is filed, and I have compiled time on the second page and beyond in the log. I am having difficulty with composing an entry for the first page. I need to acknowledge the six hundred hours I am told are on the airframe. I have also changed the engine for a new bluehead 582. Please move this to private email to occom@ns.sympatico.ca I want to cross all the T's and dot all the I's here, but as you know transports website is full of information nobody can understand in either official language! href="http://www.matronics.com/Navigator?Kitfox-List">http://www.matronhref "http://forums.matronics.com">http://forums.matronics.com href="http://www.matronics.com/contribution">http://www.matronics.com/c ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 09:57:30 AM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: Speed From: "ronlee" Wheel pants look very nice and work well if you have a speedy airplane. You will gain no utility with wheel pants on a bush that I can think of. By putting them on you will loose a nice place to sit, stand or put your foot on for what ever reason. If you are on rough ground they will shake and rattle around, not good on a bush plane. Of course if we all thought alike it wold be a very boring world. -------- Ron Lee Tucson, Arizona Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=342204#342204 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 11:29:23 AM PST US Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Re: Speed From: "Paul A.

I have seen an alternative to complete wheel coverage over the top and that is just a smaller trailing tailcone. I think something like this would allow you to use the tire as a step and have most if not all of the streamlining gains of full pants. Having nothing out in front of the tire would eliminate problems of hitting vegetation and riverbank rocks. When the airplane tail tailwheel on the ground, there still wouldn't be much ground clearance though. -- Paul A. Franz, P.E.
