The majority of gyroplanes have fixed pitch, 2-bladed rotor systems and

Actually what I was getting at was that the turbine reacted according to
the laws governing a gyroscope - that is, a gyro will react 90 degrees

The blade that hit the pylon was not the first blade to depart. It's
really interesting in slow motion. The 1st blade departs and is hit by
the 2nd blade. At the same time, the whole thing nods ...

I've never done any fiberglass work, but when I built my first plane, I'd never done any fabric work. It'll just be a learning curve. I plan to go whole hog on this one. A Dynon D-100 EFIS, EMS-120 ...

Thanks Dave. This seems to be the preferred method. I went to the Skysport
website and they had an installation procedure for just this method.

This certainly makes sense, since the RK-400 clutch is set to disengage at
about 2500 rpm. I'm guessing that with older ones, the springs that hold the
slipper shoes back at low rpm get tired and s ...

Has anyone installed capacitance fuel probes in Kitfox tanks? If so, how was
this executed? Looks a tad challenging since the top of the tank makes up the
top of the wing.

In the case of the RK-400 clutch, the speed of the prop turning has no bearing on the engagement of the clutch. It is the engine speed that determines when the clutch engages/disengages. In a descen ...

Travis,

I'm planning to install a Tru-trak ADI-II right out the chute when I
build my Kitfox. I would really appreciate any pics that you have of
the install.

All,

Two major things to be aware of if you change your 2-stroke oil in a 582.

- Use the same oil for both your oil injection (or pre-mix) and for the RV
shaft fluid. If you change oils, your ...

Guy,

CPS has AV-2. It is really the cleanest burning stuff that I've run across.
CPS has it in 5 gallon buckets which is quite economical.
