I feel I should clarify that my comments were intended to encourage getting glider training. I also cringe at the idea of trying to gain experience at dead stick flying before some proper training.

Heck, just learn to fly from the right seat. Instructors do it all the
time. Smile

(In dual control versions of course)
Seriously, I'd like to have the option myself although years ago I did

Heh heh! I looked at some of the others too. Interesting concept to
bring TV commercial style safety messages to the GA masses.

Oh, and what's up with your email address Bob?

Don't forget to consider pump on for landing, in case of a go-around.

I checked my model II and it's set in the top hole, but I don't know how
it flys as it's not repaired yet . I suspect Tom Jones is right and you
may find you it could be different for your airplan ...

Yeah, Take digital photos and notes as you go if possible for a Kitfox
wiki article. I'll offer to put it together and online if you can
provide the content.

I'll try.
The ball bearings and needle bearings used can rust pretty fast if not
always coated with enough protective lubricant. Since the these bearings
are lubed with a oil mixed within the ga ...

I agree with Noel about minimal oil on the parts. There are lubes that
claim minimal dirt attraction. Often these are features of chain lubes
for bicycles or motorcycles. I have O-rings chain lube ...

Guy,
I don't think so. Lockwood said it will be a new oil labeled as
Aeroshell and would not be available before January 2009. My impressions
are there are minimum specs for API-TC ratings and t ...

Sadly when I aquired my Model 2 I got a case and a half of the Pennzoil
which was already 4 years old. Lockwood said it has a shelf life of
about 3 years and if unopened plastic bottles show sucke ...

Dave,
Thanks. It's good to have choices and your empirical information is
always appreciated, at least by me. This oil subjct is so confused at
times it's difficult to get useful input. Lockwoo ...

Perhaps those folks currently flying 2 stroke Rotax engines already
know this, but I didn't .
As I have read many times before, "Pennzoil 2 Cycle Oil for Air Cooled
Engines" has been t ...

Dear Micheal,
Wow! I just got back from Airventure and am catching up on email. I
share everyones thoughts for your return to flying and that you are
still with us to have the chance.

Very nice! I got similar imagery using the movie feature of my digital
still camera.

Lynn,
I don't think there is a FAR restriction in uncontrolled airspace for
over water flight if not for hire. I believe there are cautionary
statements about the hazards of encountering IFR con ...

What is it about flying over large expanses of water that makes many of
us nervous? I always felt better if I can at least stay within gliding
distance of land.

Hope to meet you and Lynn there ...

Everyone,
I'll be there camping next to the Rexsters model 3. My 1st trip to Airventure and I'll be there the whole week. Hope to meet as many Kitfoxers as possible. Please make note of my cell numb ...

Yes this discussion is at least "for educational purposes". Smile
