Good news for you Rotax fliers!

RaceTech in Calgary, Alberta is going to offer fuel injection for the 912 family. This is one thing I felt was missing from this engine. This will move the engine up ...

Hi Lowell,
Good job on the database!
May I suggest putting the year of birth in the age column rather than age so your database won't be outdated next year?
I was born in 1953.

Dan,
I installed an Horizon Sport HZ EFIS and don't miss the ASI at all. The only need you would have for one is if you plan to fly IMC.

That's weird, I copied and pasted the specs and they didn't come through on the email just like the original.

The garbage comes from emphasis, like quotes and colored type, put in the post on the web site. If you go there you can read the post in the intended format.

. . .then can I fly without a high-performance endorsement:
In a retractable gear plane if I don't retract the gear?
Or fly with more than 200 horsepower if I don't use full throttle?
Or fly with a ...

I didn't look through the list, but I think you will find it there.

Jimmie, Lowell, Eric, and all other Kitfoxers:

I get frustrated with the layout of the Frappr map also. They continuously change the format and add features that make it difficult for me to nav ...

Hi Mark,
I created the Kitfox Frappr Map just for your sort of question.

I can confirm that. After I started landing "dead-stick" for practice
purpose, I enjoy it so much that I do it now, whenever the weather (and
my eventual passenger) allows me t ...

You know how to live alright, Lynn!
Congratulations on your license!

I don't see you on the Kitfox Frappr Map. If you aren't there, please add yourself and some pictures of your plane and ...

Malcom,
I attached plans to make a bungee installation tool. This is used on Starduster and Acroduster biplanes. I am building an Acroduster with bungee gear and will need this tool, but my Kitfox 5 ...

One gallon of Evans Coolant is WAY more than you need for a 912.
I have been running way too hot ever since I put
the Evans in (no other changes) and I am seriously considering
switching back to ...

Chris, you will find that the Kitfox is one of the few conventional gear experimentals that the insurance companies will risk writing on student pilots.

Thanks, Lynn, this is addressed to anyone who wants to respond. I read about some guys installing taller gear for short field ops and decided to ask about technique. I'm wondering if full flaps and ta ...

What is your technique for short takeoff? Do you do anything different if on pavement or grass?
Might as well ask for your short landing technique, too.
Thanks!
