From: "dave" Dave I will out a long tie wrap around the bungees to keep them clear of controls. I just got another Kitfox in yesterday that need bungees, I hope to get at it this week. It is a KF 2 -- I will make some bungee this week - clamp them with stiff wire and show how to install easy.

Then scribe a line in the new paint or chalk with a nail or screwdriver that is held steady as the tire turns. Repeat on other side. Now just measure at axle height and compare from and rear marks. Voila -- Exact measurement --in mm or inches. I would shoot for 1/8" toe out or toe in for my median -- over that I would be more concerned, You will hear many different opinions - toe in or toe out - laser marking degrees etc. -------- Rotax Dealer, Ontario Canada http://www.cfisher.com/ http://www.kitfoxflyer.com/ http://rotaxaircraft.com/forum/ Realtime Kitfox movies to separate the internet chatter from the truth http://www.youtube.com/user/kitfoxflyer Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=344210#344210 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:08:29 AM PST US From: "John W.

I used Dave's measuring method. I measured from center line of the fuselage determined by dropping a plumb bob line from the tail wheel spring bolt and the center of the front of the fuselage. Cabin floor level. That is, tail up. Left tire was one inch wider at the rear. Right tire was 1/16th inch wider at the rear. So I would say if you are measuring from the ends of a six foot rod probably nothing bent, just normal, "Weld Warp". I took the left axel out and bent it cold in a vise with a sledge hammer so the wheel is straight with the fuselage. I did not alter the right gear. -------- Tom Jones Classic IV 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=344243#344243 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 08:33:43 AM PST US Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Just For Fun From: Patrick Reilly Wurleybird, Thanks for the video.

He said people would say, upon finding out he had been a fighter pilot in WWII, "That must have been terrible". His reply was, "Are you kidding? I was 19 years old. They gave me this brand new, shiney, fastest airplane in the world and said, " Do anything with this plane you want as long as you bring it back.
