List,
I purchased one of Elbie's AOA systems quite some time ago. SN 330. I
have lost the wiring diagram. The one I have has no voice commands.
Just the leds. Would appreciate the information if possible to send it.
Thanks. Norm

Greetings Kitfox Folks,
I just flew home my new Kitfox Vixen Model 5 (with Rotax 912 ULS & Ivo
prop) and am getting to know it.
First impressions: The climb angle is very steep, cruise speed is pretty
fast & glide ratio is very flat (I am having a hard time "getting it down")
Anyone with pointers feel free to bring them up.
Thanks much,
Skot

I don't know if this will help, but the first thing I would do is check
the idle stop. The 912 on my current airplane had a tendency to quit in
the flair or shortly after touch. I didn't like that because I always
found it a bit challenging to restart afterword and had to just sit
there for a minute or two. I increased idle RPM some and then went on a
test flight and on the first approach I had a hard time finding the
threshold so did a go around paying strict attention to the speeds in
all phases of the pattern. Still came in high. I had to do a serious
side slip to find the ground and then decreased the RPMs back to where
they were.

I would suggest not climbing at too steep an angle. It's fun, but you are a
breath away from a stall should your engine quit. I used to do those climb
s until a friend spun his Piet in when his engine quit. Sobered me right up.
He lived but it was a close call.
