Hks 700t

[Geowitz]

The installation manual for the 700E specifies the torque: "The tightening torque for the four 10mm bolts or studs is 4.8kgm. (34ft.lbs)"
(Have not read the 700T manual.)

I'm actually referring to the Barry rubber isolation mounts which are attached to an adapter/spreader plate I got from Green sky Adventures. The adapter plate bolts to the block with the specs you mention and is fine. Thanks.

Ran the test described here on my Medium IVOPROP IFA - http://www.800-airwolf.com/pdffiles/ARTICLES/part31.pdf

At 30 oscillations I had an average of 165 to 170 seconds. Prop assembly weight is 17.5 pounds which is actually off the chart, but if we extrapolate where it would be on the chart the Medium IVOPROP IFA appears to be around 7500 kg/cm2.

Just food for thought. Sorry about the crappy picture.

Went with two blade for testing. Runs great now. Will see when it flies as far as performance.

Getting down to the final details...

Empty Weight - 670lbs, balance ended up within the forward range of the envelope.

Oil temps climb slowly, but steadily so I will need to do some duct work for the oil cooler, but all other temps and parameters are looking great.

About to turn in my paperwork to schedule my airworthiness inspection. Hopefully first flight in November.

Congratulations! What propeller will you use for actual flight?

Hey Geowitz, that's a great looking Kitfox hope you get the AW and get in the air on schedule, thanks for all the updates.

[Geowitz]

Thanks everyone! I'll keep ya'll updated. Pretty exciting

Finally got my airworthiness inspection done and passed without any significant problems- A few zip ties were added here and there, but I'm pretty much ready to go. First flight coming soon. Hopefully in a week or so.
