    Default Nice Job Joe

    Flew over to Scappoose today hoping to connect with Joe Gallagher (Frontier Fox) and see his new Kitfox that he is just starting to flyoff the 40 hours. I lucked out and he was there so I got to see his new bird. What a beauty and piece of craftsmanship!
    By the way Joe, I looked up my info on the trim jackscrew and it recommended a 7.5 amp breaker because the amp draw was around 6 amps. I am wondering if your solid state breaker is high enough capacity-maybe it is tripping out and causing your intermittent trim problems. Just a thought.

    That’s a good thought Jim. AFS has the amps set a 5 amps, wouldn’t hurt to up it to 7amps. I checked the pins at the ACM and found one of them loose. I think that was the reason it wouldn’t work. Who the heck wired this thing? Oh yeah, yours truly I got everything buttoned up. Going to fly tomorrow weather permitting. Good to see you.
