LORENZ added a post in a topic Enough already AOPA!!
Can you boys list the top 3 software and auxiliary hardware options for an iPad integrated panel.
Here's what my new to me dash looks like, I have a couple holes to fill. An iPad is the solution that I'd want to go to. I want a quality radio that will support the existing wiring, com block and existing squelch and volume knobs if possible.

LORENZ added a post in a topic NEW KITFOX S7-STi WNG PRICES
It looks like an undercut airfoil from this photo. That would explain the 25mph top speed penalty.

LORENZ added a post in a topic Is a Bandit a IV?
What pieces and arts made the Bandit alight weight MKIV besides the 503? I think the 582 was a more popular option from what Ive seen on the used market.

LORENZ added a post in a topic NEW KITFOX S7-STi WNG PRICES
Leaderbrands is the plane with silver with Green graphics that is in the videos and at Oshkosh I presume.
Kitfox responded to my FB question of Stall speed. 31-32 MPH with 29" Alaskan Bush tires. The bush tires hurt The stall speed a little due to weight is my guess. 31 MPH is honorable if it's repeatable.

LORENZ added a post in a topic Performace
If I recall gross weight is 911# on a MkIV with speed wing while doing aerobatics, and 1050# without aerobatic maneuvers. At 1034# your flying around fully loaded, unless I read something wrong, which is often the case.

Its been 5 years. What did you find the problem to be? I'd be afraid to fly that plane knowing something was wrong.

LORENZ added a post in a topic Header tank vent line and Fuel level sight gauge tubing
1) Would you suggest the yellow Tygon 4040 be an anual replacement as well?
2) Im replacing ALL of my uel lines, how many feet do I need.
3) Did you shop it out? Do mind sharing an Internet link to the cheapest supplier if you have it handy. It'd help us lazy folks out.

LORENZ added a post in a topic Over heating on Rotax 670
Did the new radiators help?
Did you check to see that your not over proping the 670?
My 670 is Being built and I really hope I don't have over heating issues. Im buying the exhaust parts and cones from Mike, the guy who builds the exhausts for Rotax Rick, and I will be assembling and welding them up myself. This will keep the "tune" that Mike and Rick have worked so hard to produceon the dyno and have thw 670 jetted for , while giving me a couple inches either way to get her fit into the MKIV Cowel... Wish me luck.

LORENZ added a post in a topic Mounting original aluminum header tank
Should I be looking to add an additional header tank if this original spare tube fuel header is in place? Whats the main goal of larger header tanks, more fuel or more reliable fuel flow or....?
The installation of my spar header tank by the previous owner is really nice and I'd hate to change anything up if I dont need to.

I see your PDF drawing of the weld that tends to fail. A picture of that location would clarify things a ton. Could I bother you for a picture with a finger pointing to the trouble location.

Plug and play, no installation needed is the main reason. Everything is already there ready for a head unit.

LORENZ added a post in a topic Aerobat extended wings
This thread killed my hopes of extending my speed wings on my MkIV
If I wanted the ultimate STOL capabilities would I be looking at the later Kitfox ribs or more of a Just Aircraft Super STOL set up which is probably untested on the Avid MKIV fuselage, in which case, I dont have the capability to make happen
It sounds like I need a second airplane already..... Or a spare set of HH wings. Im guessing it's more of a hassle than its worth to swap wings back and forth than its really worth.

Are they worth the $1200 asking price used, or should I look into something 20 years newer and modern?

LORENZ added a topic in Technical tasks
What RADIO and possibly TRANSPONDER went hereMy new ride was born in 1994, so the the radio that was here is from that era. Id like to rplace it with the same unit as the wiring antenna and harness is all there. The head unit(s) were missing.
A link to an ebay item would be amazingly helpful. Im guessing they're stupid cheap 20 years later?
