My 4 had it left side, about half way back to the horizontal. It was off
by about 10%. I did better just disconnecting the static at the
instrument. Since I used GPS my airspeed didn't matter terr ...

It's user preference, based on both aesthetics and controls. For
controls, the less dihedral the less positive stability in roll. My IV
had 1/2 degree per side. It would not fly straight and level ...

Check for an air leak at the boots. Unfortunately your crank seals may
have dried and allow air to pass. There's a way to check but I don't
remember it. I think there's a spec for crankcase vacuum ...

No expert, but I started on one.

Nice, Mike! I loved having the pad in my Fox. Would have been nice to
have it on the panel.

Looking to borrow a 912 flywheel puller in the San Diego area. Or an idea for a good jury rig. Thanks!

The main thing is to not apply any significant pressure to the skin, either with blast or with sanding. If you do you'll distort it enough so the ribs will show through and they'll look ugly. I'd try ...

Is there anything special about a kitfox muffler for a 912. Radial cowl. Where can i get one

75 hours over three years means auto fuel sat in the tank unused for some long periods. From what I've heard auto fuel only has about a two week shelf life. I worked on a Kitfox that ...

Make sure you check the oil pressure sender ground. As to current with
no battery, it's possible with a slowly discharging capacitor, but
unless there's another battery in the system the current s ...

Ima gonna say bad ground, somewhere. The oil pressure is voltage based
so any time an additional electrical load causes a voltage variation to
the sender it will change the signal. If your's is a ...

Mostly the rentals here at Warner, Grob 102s and 103s, though I have

Don't know if you'll get an answer from someone who's flown both, but I
might help you with a physics answer. Shorter wings means faster roll
rate which is good. Faster roll rate means more contro ...

Hey Lynn, where can we see pictures? Are you up on TeamKitfox?

I highly recommend the Stratux ads-b receiver kit. Great value if you already have some kind of tablet. I use the free Fltplan Go software. Total investment ~$100.

Just to let you know, the oil sender was bad, but I replaced it with a
2-wire version with a dedicated ground to preclude future problems with
grounding through the braided line.
