Hi to Everybody,

I just acquired a Kitfox3 from 1991. The previous owner is dead, I do not have all the history of the device. I reviewed the Rotax582 which works well. This week test flight in calm conditions, 2 pers on board, after take-off, initial climb and wind cross branch without worries, during the branch wind back in level with 60Knt, departure in fluetter of the whole cell. Phenomenon strong enough that required an emergency. During this maneuver, in base and tight final, the response to the controls is uncertain with a tendency of the plane to dive on the left that it was necessary to counter strongly to compensate during all the final and the posed one. No finding of particular problem on the controls, the shutters, the control surfaces nor other elements. Unable to identify the cause, we are now investigating to solve the problem and fix it. Another clue, we found an unexplained rear centering which implied a thrust of the stick to stitch to hold the machine level ..
I would be very enjoy to make fly good this kitfox after all the work I made on!!
Thanks all for your help
Good flights

Chris
