    This engine has good performance to 23000 feet. I'm wanting to get to 10000 feet in ten to fifteen minutes or there abouts. That's where I like to cruise. I'm also not fond of aircraft when fully loaded on a hot day barely getting over the fence. So allround it's should be and economical reliable engine with a big safety margin. Lyndon

    Never even seen one Lyndon

    It's that or hose clamps and rubber hose. Eg the older cassette type. Like I said a complicated system. Lyndon

    In fact you now have 3 layout options to place them in series.To suit your aircraft I presume Lyndon

    That's the old style pumps. These new ones don't use rubber hoses and pipe work. Those are not available any more. Lyndon

    I've got the layout. Just need to buy the fittings. Lyndon

    Rotax have a complicated two pump set up with non return valves and an extra line with a restrictor. My question is. Do I just go to racetech and buy all the A an N fittings, elbows etc. The whole set up has flared fittings. Airframe mounted so little or no vibration. Or have off the shelf car fittings failed by experience and I need aircraft quality and price. Thanks Lyndon

    I have an engine. The kit is sitting in Port Melbourne waiting for a berth. Hopefully in a few weeks it will be underway. The case and gearbox hardness test and oil galleries test were performed and it's a good one Lyndon

    What's a good comfortable grip and what are people putting on it. I have manual flaps so we can remove this. Thanks Lyndon

    I ride adventure motorcycle's. Tubed and tubeless. Vast experience with punctures. A plug in a tubeless tyre works perfectly. A tube in a damaged tyre or rim on a tubeless tyre works perfectly. ( Patch the inside wall where damaged) Tubed , get the wheel off and patch it properly or a new tube. There are no short cuts. I personally wouldn't want to land on a tyre that wasn't fixed properly. Once you have done it a few times it does become easier. Lyndon

    At two thousand hrs I would suggest the lifters and cam are toast. Especially if it's been run out of a school with on avgas. The last engine I built was full of sludge with the cam and lifters being roast. The rest of engine was in good nick. Lyndon

    Box shipped Tuesday and has arrived in Richmond CA. Some prices, if anyone is thinking of importing an aircraft. The crate was $2100 USD Get the said crate to Richmond CA $2640 USD. You can do the maths at .64 cents in the dollar. Thanks Lyndon

    The Kitfox is about to ship. Wednesday from Idaho to San Francisco. So by the end of next week it will be waiting for a LCL in San Francisco onto Adelaide. Hopefully late May early June it will arrive in Port Adelaide. Ordered September 2024 with a two year wait time for these aircraft. I'm thinking they like the sound of the long wait, but in reality its pretty much straight away for a build slot. Thanks Lyndon PS. Is this the right place to update my build. ???

    I think there is a two or three new ones in Australia. Should be a fun build and nice to fly for a few years Lyndon
  18. Lyndon
    Its about to ship. So in a few months I will start a Kitfox build and a you tube. Stay tuned Lyndon

    Signed off. I take it that means completed and flying. I see 883 days left on the rebate. I can register for a rego number while building I believe. Lyndon

    Long shot I'm sure. But here goes. So if I'm building a VH Experimental this year am I entitled to any free government money. Sounds to good to be true ? Thanks Lyndon

    So it makes a stencil

    I'm a long way from doing the panel. I'm comfortable leaving the panel upgrade out now. I will have it done here and save some money. Thanks for the info. Lyndon

    I'm in Adelaide Does it work with paint?? Instead of powder coating?? If someone in Adelaide does it that would be preferable. But basically that's exactly what I'm after Thanks lyndon
  24. Lyndon
    That's what I'm after Lyndon

    I really want it printed or engraved. I don't know the process. I can cut the holes out and paint it. Then I just need it printed? Lyndon
