Hi Guys,
Dave Patrick was nice enough to come out to my area to give me some serious training over the next few days. We flew over 3 hours today.

Anyway he said that we are not turning high enoug ...

Dave,
That would be great! Where abouts are you located?

Anyone know of a good CFI within 50 miles of Elmira NY? My CFI is not working out so good. He took a new second shift job, which limits his time. Mostly though, he is unavailable whenever I am avai ...

Bryan,
if you need any other pictures or measurements, let me know. I have them on my model II as well.

Andrew

Thank you all for the advice. It sounds like the A&P at the field is on the right track. Hopefully he can get it done during the week, so I can fly on the weekend, weather permitting.

OK, Here are some pictures. They say more that I could ever say in a post. Smile

The last picure is just of the plane, with the new stripe I put on. Just vynal tape, but it looks good I think.

A ...

I will try to get some pictures of it tomorrow. My description sucks at best. Smile

It is not the actual horn itself, but the sheet metal that the flapperon is made from. The rivet goes down throug ...

Hey all, I have a little damage that needs to be fixed, I just wanted to check and see if this is the appropriate way.

I made a set of wing covers that come down over the flaperons, and around the ...

Looks about like landing a glider, but much bigger. I think that the gear stick down too low, if it was closer to the body it might have been easier. Then again, there must have been a reason they d ...

Only 443lbs. empty? Wow and I thought my KF II was light at 482lbs. empty. That thing must realy climb.

Extreemly nice looking plane, I love the yellow. I wish mine were yellow, instead I am stu ...

I would be curious about the price as well. I did not see any prices for it on their website. Looks like a great kit.

Hey guys, quick question. The stick in my plane seems to be quite far forward, even when in straight and level flihgt. It feels like I need longer arms to reach it. There appears to be a way to adj ...

Thank you all again. Falcon got back to me, and they found an underwriter that is willing to cover as soon as I have 10 hours of dual, and 10 take offs and landings. Not as bad as I thought at $950 ...

Just an update on the EGT issue I had, in case anyone is interested. I just got back from the airport, went down on my lunch break. I swapped the sensors around, and then ran up the engine. The sam ...

Thanks for the reply guys. The 2 I checked with today was Avemco, and Falcon. Avemco downright declined. The lady from Falcon is still checking around, but it does not look good. I have not tried ...

I looked into this onece before and did not find any companies that would insure the combination of a Kitfox and a student pilot. Right now I am flying without insurance. I am not so much worried ab ...

Thank you everyone for your input. I am fairly certain that the stumbe was indeed caused by the extreemly lean setting. We were trying to keep the 1 EGT low, which allowed for real low on the other. ...

Well, not for the first time, but for the first time with me in it as it's new owner.

I traveled 1100miles in July to go pick it up. Then we had to replace some rod ends, and inspect everything we ...

I had to replace 3-4 rod end links on mine as well. There was quite a bit of slack in the controls. It fixed it right up and now it is nice and tight.

Hmm.... Does the Tinytach hook up to plug wires from both cylinders, or just one? If it goes to both, it seems like the mag check would still work.

Probably best if I track down the problem, then ...
