I bit the bullet and bought 2 meters of 17 mm hose from Lockwood (very
expensive). I ran a little short for my heater installation in my Kitfox . so I
went to Napa and bought silicone hose. The engine itself did not require
the additional length. Silicone hose has a little more give but worked
perfectly.(even if it was not 17mm) If you do get silicone make sure you have
the proper clamps. Silicone hoses take clamps that won't allow the hose to
"squirm" out of place (per the NAPA rep)

Hi All
Last year when I changed the hoses on my 912 I went to the local auto parts
supplier and bought a few "formed hoses" especially designed for some brand
of foreign cars. I cut pieces from them to match up with the shapes
necessary for my Kitfox application. This way I was able to eliminate some
of the metal sections and therefore reduce the number of "connections and
clamps". I am not sure of the diameter but most foreign applications use
metric measurements and they fit tightly to the Rotax parts. It made for a
fairly neat installation. Does anyone have comments on this? Or reasons why
this is not a good idea.

Here are some numbers I got after reading this topic last week.
Started off with about 5150 on lift off and 5820 WOT.
I could put the nose to the sky and climb forever (well almost).
After three adjustment tries, I got it to 4850 on lift off and 5650 WOT.
I lift off in about the same distance but keep the nose down to almost level flight.
100 feet after liftoff I am at 5000 and 100 feet farther, I am at 5200.
Then I can pull it back to a good climb out.
I have gained more than 5 mph at 5200 cruise so I will leave the pitch here for
awhile.
I have the Kiev Prop.
