    Mine is a GT wood prop 62x39 according to their numbers. I average 800-1000 fpm climb. More if it's cold out. Cruise is 98 mph and I usually cruise 2950-3000 rpm. I would like to get a Prince propeller.

    Hey WisDan,
    What size prop are you turning?

    They are working great. I'm in the middle of my condition inspection right now. It's been to cold to finish it. I have had no problems at all with the heads. I have never had to re-torque the heads and never had to re-adjust the valve lash (I have a solid lifter 2200). I'm not quite sure of the weight difference. The heads themselves weigh slightly less that the original heads but of course had to add the weight of the radiator(I used a rotax 912 radiator), Rotecs water pump, I installed a thermostat housing and thermostat and associated plumbing. I use about 3 quarts of coolant, maybe slightly more. My CG is still well within limits no matter how I load it. I have just over 100 hrs on my heads. I run 91 octane non-ethanol auto fuel. Head temps(water temp) runs about 205 F on hot days in cruise and on the thermostat at 180 F when it starts cooling off out. Let me know if you need anything else, pics, etc.

    Hello WisDan,

    Hi Wisdan,

    Good looking airplane. I am just finishing the annual inspection on mine. I'm ready to get it back in the air.
  6. Hey Jim,
    I am also sorry that I did'nt respond back to you but I really don't look to close at my messages. I have been flying my Kitfox for about 5 hours and I love it. I want to thank you for all the advice, it really helped me. Hope we can meet up at 68C sometime.

    Wisdan,
    Sorry I haven't replied sooner, I don't regularly check my private messages. Yep,your right about the no passengers for 40 hours. Also I can't charge for training in my airplane either (I've tried to get the exemption that would allow me to charge for transition training which is what you need, but I was denied by the FSDO). Maybe we should talk on the phone and see if we can figure something out. My number is 715-693-4254. I work swing shifts but right now I'm working from 2-10PM so you could try me in the morning. I'm off on Thursday and Friday so if the weather is nice maybe I'll be down to Iola on Friday.

    WISDAN,
    I have helped some new Kitfox owners get comfortable in their planes. Is yours in flyable condition? Be better to use your plane if possible.

    Hi WISDAN,
    Just saw your message to me sent earlier this month. Yes I get to Iola quite often for lunch. Was there just last Friday. I'm not from Merrill though, I'm from Mosinee. Have a grass strip just 3 miles east of CWA. Maybe we'll run into each other soon.
