What size fuse can be used to power the 912UL engine regulator B+ terminal. The Skystar schematic that I have shows a 35 amp fuse, but I haven't been able to find a fuse that size.

Any suggestion ...

We're about ready to install the GSC 3-bladed prop on our 912 on a KFIV. Is the aluminum backing plate (in the center of the attached photo) used in this installation?

thanks

I also wanted to add that We'll be making the sticks removable (also inspired by my friends Schweitzer). I'm 6'4" and have a really hard time getting in and out with either stick. Instead of an A ...

After being inspired by a friends Schweitzer (helicopter) control stick I decided to design and fabricate new control sticks that would keep the grip in the same location as the stock grip but have ab ...

The oil can is a good idea. Heres what I did, seemed to work pretty good and I already had the materials laying around. I had a big syringe that I had gotten from a farmers co-op or southern agricultu ...

Thanks for the replies Lynn and Guy. Poked around through old threads and found recurring issues with the butyrate tubing. I called Kitfox this morning and am gonna go with the sight tubes from them. ...

We are in the process of installing the fuel sight tubes for our Model IV that we received in a kit in the late 90's. The tubes are made of Butyrate. While researching installation examples I found a ...

Looks like that hamburger was well worth the hundred bucks. Nice pic!
