Hi!

How many of you have a static chamber fitted to your Altimiter air-line, or is your Alt simply connected directly to a single static port? If you do have a static chamber, how many feed lines/s ...

More pics of "Ralph"

Hi folks!

At last something to get excited about. Mick Edmonds (ex CASA) our local RAAus inspector did the final "pre-closure" inspection on KF 9407-0042 ("Ralph") today, and pa ...

Hi guys,
I am working with a kit which was first shipped in '94, and had the 3M glue (partly used by the original builder). I tried working with it and found it a real pain. I did a bit of reserach ...

After many delays, I am finally ready to put the fabric on the KF4. I just need another inspection to be done by our local RAAus inspector, and that's booked for next Monday. I can't believe that its ...

Hi Folks,

I'm going to be delayed a bit more in putting the fabric on our KF IV, as
I have just been told I'm going to the US for a quick trip in late
January. I have to attend a meeting or two i ...

Lowell,

Thank you very much for the detailed response. I'll go with either the
Kreem or the JC Whitnbey product. I'm not sure who handles these products
in Australia, but will investigate. Once a ...

Hi guys,

I can't resist this one, especially after Rex's well put words. Going back
(again) to my gliding days, ONE wheel and a belly hook add up to some
pretty strange (and powerfull) forces on ...

Hi guys,

I'm the one who asked what I thought was a simple question " Does anyone
know of any Fitfoxes flying in Thailand?"

I'm absolutley gobsmacked at the exchanges that have gone o ...

Hi Guys!,

I'm about to do a work stint in Thailand for the next couple of months
(there goes the building schedule), and was wondering if anyone knows of
any Kitfoxes flying in Thailand. If ther ...

Wow! What a lot of heat this is generating!

Ground-loops, nosewheels snapped off, too heavy for the HP, rough ground...

Flying is too much fun to bother with all this! In the air, it really
doe ...

Micahel,

I did most of my early gliding training in a Blanik, over South-East
Queensland (Australia). Its a great aircraft to learn in as it is very
forgiving to novice pilots. All the same, 80 - ...

Michael,

I note the many and varied replies to your enquiry. This topic is of
particular interest to me, and has been for many years, so I though I'd
add a few comments myself.

I spent quite s ...

Typical, just clicked on the send button and then remembered what I meant
to ask in the last email...

I have noted comments on thenlist re the different wings types that were
available for the KF ...

Amongst the bits that came with the part-finished KF IV kit that I bought
was a set of steel rings ( about 1 inch wide). In a note that was in with
the various loose bits of paper that also came wit ...

Dear Mrs Verheughe,

I have consulted a number of colleagues regarding Michel's sagging
condition, and the consensus of opinion is, that the condition, usually
found in males, relates specifically ...

Rupert,

To my knowledge they are OK for gasoline. There are two types, one made
from Polysulphone, and the other from Polyetethersulphone. One is better
than the other, but again, both are, I bel ...

Hi Re ...

Hi folks,

I'm starting to plan the colour scheme for my (our) KF IV - I'm in a
syndicate of 3. We are trying to get the decision process rolling for
choosing colours and layout, as it will only b ...

Thanks to all for your responses re fitting the windscreen. I have put it
to the side for a few days while I attend to a few other bits. Re the warm
days suggestions... Sydney is in the Southern He ...
