<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> My model II has been down for a time with mag problems. I have made the necessary repairs and it runs good. There have been several other items that have been a bother since I built the plane. One has been cold starting problems. From reading posts on this list I learned that the cable size is a major consideration. I have changed to a larger cable now and the plane spins over nicely and starts good. The second was the cooling shroud looked lousy. I have taken the time to rebuild the cooling shroud using 6061 T6 aluminum. I finished the fitting and assembly today. It sure looks a lot better than the old one and it is also much more substantial. Rivnuts are great.

I am sure no one really cares about all this stuff but I think its good to remind ourselves the value of the list. I think we sometime forget how much help it can provide for those in the building process. I am one of the guys out here that had no aviation experience at all when I started the build and I live in an area where there was no one to ask for help. The only place to get answers was here. I really like reading the posts and continue to learn a lot of good stuff from the more experienced folks.

Do not think that no one cares. It is all important. The group seems to be loosing something. It is not anyone in particular. It is hard to put a finger on. Glad to hear of your alum. bending fun. Tell me about it. After all, it is Kitfox related. I like to work with alum. but I am not even close to what some of the people on the list can do. I figure if it is straight or I really meant to bend it it is good. Got some pics??? You can send them to me off list. Do not want to offend the moderator.

Was that last sentence really necessary or was it a feeble attempt to stir the pot? Our moderators are trying their best to do a good job and don't get paid enough to put up with that.

I got some pics from an amature builder. They were from an idea and plan
that he had. They were fantastic. Great work. Hang in there all of you
builders, there is a lot of know how in this group. I must step out now
though.
