    Hi Glenn Great idea. Being techno challenged I can't seem to find the google map. How can I download it to my iPhone? I've gone to web site but just States are listed and no map. Thanks again for doing this.

Please upgrade your app to the latest version. If your phone does not support the app, then go to our new website, www.airportcourtesycars.com The site is mobile friendly and you can place its icon to your phone or tablet screen. Both versions show Google maps for each state, the app version still shows the entire US map which some people prefer. The site currently lists over 1560 cars. Thanks for your input and contact us with any questions, new listings, or corrections to airportcars101@gmail.com And please check out our advertisers and FBOs who offer you fuel discounts. The app remains free. > > -------- > Glenn Brasch > RV-9A Flying > Medevac Helicopter Pilot (Ret) > Owner, &quot;Airport Courtesy Cars&quot; Smart Phone App > and www.airportcourtesycars.com > > > > > Read this topic online here: > > http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=453870#453870 > > > > > > > > > >

    The 2 versions are slightly different regarding the maps. First, if you are asking how to download the app to your iPhone, simply go to the app store on your phone and search for "Airport Courtesy Cars". On the phone app, there are 2 different maps. On the main app page, the map page will take you to a Google map of the entire US. Then, on both the app version and the web version, when you go to a specific state, the first verbiage you see under the state name is "Tap/Click Here for Map", that will take you to a Google map of that state only. Those maps are a little "glitchy", expand the map with 2 fingers and hold it for a couple seconds, or the map will spring back. I am trying to figure out how to format those maps the same as the US map (if anyone knows, please fill me in!) Hope this helps!

    BJ, You're too kind. Thanks for the nice words. Re: 1. The oil cooler is an Earl's 21608AERL 16 Row Oil Cooler -8 AN Black I bought off Amazon. It's much larger than is typically used on 912's because of my southwest location. (Lots 'o hot.) The mount was custom, as was the cowl mod. I'm guessing Kitfox LLC can sell you a cooler and mount, but the catalog's ambiguous as to whether a mount is included. Give them a call. Later I made a Van's style shutter over the front which seems to work OK to help raise oil temperatures in the cold. I don't know if it blocks too much in the summer yet, though. 2. The metal coolant lines were all custom, starting with a bunch of 1" mandrel bent aluminum elbows, (see this <http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002VK7596/ref=pe_385040_30332190_TE_3p_M3T1_ST1_dp_2> and that <http://www.summitracing.com/search/part-type/exhaust-pipes-individual-bends>,) combined with some 1" straight that I had a local guy weld together after I did all the cutting and matching. I then beaded them and had them chromed locally. Unfortunately it was rather (shall we say hideously) expensive, mostly because I didn't feel comfortable welding aluminum. (OK with steel.) But I figured they'd last nearly forever and I definitely preferred them to soft tubing. Guy Buchanan Ramona, CA Kitfox IV-1200 / 912-S / Warp 3cs / 500 hrs. flying again. Now a glider pilot, too.

    From: bjones@dmv.com
    Guy, Just as I suspected based on the craftsmanship throughout, you have custom coolant pipes and custom oil cooler mounting hardware. Thanks for the detailed response and links. The kind words regarding your build were inadequate. BJ BJ, > You're too kind. Thanks for the nice words. Re: > > 1.

    Glenn Thanks for quick response. I was trying to find app on my iPad with no luck. It said no results. On my iPhone however no problem. So does it not work on the ipad?

    Yes sir, you can load it on your iPad. When you do a search in the app store, you will see in the upper left corner of your iPad a box that says "iPad apps", chick that for a drop down menu and change the search to iPhone apps and it will show right up.
