Hey Guys,

Here's some pics of yet another R2800 powered Kitfox. This one has a three blade prop on the lower gear. Rotec recomend the larger 76"D x 55"P prop with longer legs.

The Owner is Niel Ring....nice job Niel!

Enjoy. :)

Next I bet you are going to tell me that the buckets are for when it throws up.

Hahaha.....only a non Radial owner would ever ask that question.:D
See in the last pic he's using the kid as the oil drip tray, now thats good thinking!

Other then being a little heavy because of the engine weight, these make one beautiful airplane.

Hi Guys,
Rotec have a new main oil filter. It directly replaces the previous type. The advantage with this new filter is that it has an ANTI siphon feature that works a treat!!!!

No more oil filling the engine after shut down. Saves on having to fit an oil shut off valve.

Part number in Australia is Ryco "Z429". Google for cross referances or contact the Rotec factory.
