  6. Ironman Al added a post in a topic Gross weight and LSA qualified   

    Yes. Thanks everyone for the informative feed back, I do appreciate the info. The only place it state's the weight now is in the operating handbook. I think for me the best advice so far is to just go the extra step and get the private pilots licence, I don't have a problem with the medical and I Do like the Ivo adjustable prop.

    You talking about an Oil cooler?  I checked a lot into this also, another one was" Big Twin" air cooled, in a V twin two cylinder configuration, much like an air cooled Wisc. Motor. Same conclusions for me, not enough horses for the weight penalties.

    So far, it needs a brake line, New carb boots, a battery, a radio intercom battery, a small repair on the removable wing tip cover, a door cylinder, cleaning, and a low tire.

  14. Ironman Al added a topic in Kitfox V   

    Intro, New Guy
    I'd just like to day Hello to every one on this forum! I'm a new owner of a KitfoxV and new to sport aviation, I live in western Montana, and if there's anyone who lives out this way, it would be nice to meet and talk 28th you all,. I found my Kitfox in an old hanger in a very small township airfield, it was like a barn find. It hasn't flown in about 10 years and is a 1995. The previous owner keeper up on the maintanance on it, and it isn't to far from flying, fabric is good, no holes, or rust, engine is free and compresion is good. Only 80 hours total on it, I found it by a freind that told me there might be one that a freind of his once owned. Shire enough it was there, and a Mark V to. I was hoping for a Mark IV or IV classic, but it turned out to be a V, the price was right, A lot less than what I've seen unfinished ones going for, it's got all the options available in 95', I was looking at Avids and never thought I'd end up with this! Wow can't wait to get it home and start going thru it, Pictures to come! Thanks!
