hi all,
when i was looking at grove gears before i put one on my dakota hawk i took a few pics of a red kitfox at oshkosh. i believe the plane was from the east coast, pa. maybe? his e mail address was ''KING'' something i think. anyway, his belly had a ''trough'' that the gear was in . the gear at the belly was exposed. it was about flush with the belly. looked very nice. that's how i did mine.

That would be John King. He lives in Warrenton VA.

His e-mail is "John King" <kingjohn1(at)comcast.net>
He used to be quite active on this e-mail list prior to moving to Matronics. He now
again is active on another KF Forum that only has the forum interface, no mail list.
He is member "Birddog". Here is one of his postings regarding a trip he lead in that
red series 6 Kitfox:

The TeamKitfox Forum is nicely organized and has a lot of current and former members
of the Matronics list.

John is a very skilled craftsman and an excellent resource, a fine person.

In general, the art of government consists of taking as much money as possible from
one party of the citizens to give to the other.
-- Voltaire (1764)
To me, consensus seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs,
principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one
believes and to which no one objects.
-- Margaret Thatcher
"I trust that the proposed Constitution afford a genuine specimen of
representative government and republican government; and that it will
answer, in an eminent degree, all the beneficial purposes of
society."
-- Alexander Hamilton, speech to the New York Ratifying Convention, 1788
"When a business or an individual spends more than it makes, it goes
bankrupt. When government does it, it sends you the bill. And when
government does it for 40 years, the bill comes in two ways: higher
taxes and inflation. Make no mistake about it, inflation is a tax and
not by accident."
-- Ronald Reagan
"It should be your care, therefore, and mine, to elevate the minds of
our children and exalt their courage; to accelerate and animate their
industry and activity; to excite in them an habitual contempt of
meanness, abhorrence of injustice and inhumanity, and an ambition to
excel in every capacity, faculty, and virtue. If we suffer their minds
to grovel and creep in infancy, they will grovel all their lives."
-- John Adams, Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law, 1756
"Would it not be better to simplify the system of taxation rather
than to spread it over such a variety of subjects and pass through
so many new hands."
--Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, 1784
"Without liberty, law loses its nature and its name, and becomes
oppression. Without law, liberty also loses its nature and its name,
and becomes licentiousness."
-- James Wilson, Of the Study of the Law in the United States, 1790
"In addition to an abhorrence of democracy, and the recognition
that government posed the gravest threat to liberty, our founders
harbored a deep distrust and suspicion of Congress. This suspicion
and distrust is exemplified by the phraseology used throughout the
Constitution, particularly our Bill of Rights, containing phrases
such as Congress shall not: abridge, infringe, deny, disparage or
violate. Today's Americans think Congress has the constitutional
authority to do anything upon which they can get a majority vote.
We think whether a particular measure is a good idea or bad idea
should determine passage as opposed to whether that measure lies
within the enumerated powers granted Congress by the Constitution.
Unfortunately, for the future of our nation, Congress has
successfully exploited American constitutional ignorance or
contempt."
-- George Mason University economics professor Walter E. Williams

That was probably John Kings' plane...ain't it a beauty? I've seen
pictures of a similar treatment, where the belly was built up to the
level of the Grove gear with a rib or two, then stopped, then
continued on the other side of the gear, and tapered off about 12-18"
after the gear, to become flush with the belly once again. This
creates a trough for the gear to ride in.
Maybe some of the guys who have done this modification, and who have
pictures, will be kind enough to share with the group? Call it a pay-
back or a pay-forward for help received in the past or help you may
need in the future. Geez, I feel a group hug coming on....
