Doug, I think he used it. He just sold his Mod I and Mod III and I think I'm gonna get the Amphib from him.

Leni, check with AkBob. IIRC he posted a 'wanted' for one of the under panel belcranks a few years ago and I sent him mine but I think he may have got a second one too.

yes sir, thats what I am thinking of. A picture wont hurt, but I am sure they are the same as the set up that Bob has. I can built a copy of it, but if I can buy one its a lot easier for me

If TJay don't want the complete setup, I will let you have it - There are ears on two tubes under the IP, and they are what supports the pivot lever - is that what you are thinking of? Maybe I can take a photo?

Yup, that was 'fix'. Here's a pic of my old model 3.

Do you have a picture of that. It sounds like what I have on my Avid. I have a Vernier throttle cable pushing a lever mechanism mounted to the top of the engine mount. The lever pulls my carb throttle cables from a couple inches closer to the pivot. It seemed to work well. I will try to get a picture when I am at the airport this weekend.

If you want to part with the throttle control I would gladly shoot some money your way. I like the way kf did it versus the was mine is. It makes a much smoother throttle system!

C5Engineer added a topic in Avid fox flyers pics and vids
For those with actual winter weather...some Avid videos to pass the timeSince the flying has slowed down and we seem to have a lot of lurkers I thought I would start a thread with some videos to pass the time. These are all a few years old now but thought I would group them into one place.

Travis AFB doing what we do bestThis video was played today at a Commanders Call and they mentioned it was on Vimeo so I did a search and found it tonight. Travis is unique because it is the only base in Air Mobility Command that flies three different Major Weapon Systems (C-5, KC-10, C-17). Last summer a company came out and did most of this air to air footage. Some really neat shots and just a small glimpse into the world of the amazing men and women of the 60th Operations Group. Enjoy!

I donno which control I have - There is a push-pull knob and then it goes to a lever which is connected to two cables???
Whatever came out on a Kitfox 2 - 532
About all I know about a 2-stroke is how to take it off of the firewall

dav8or added a post in a topic Pictures of MK IV radiator mounting?
The 2 keys to shedding the side mount radiator and using just the belly mount are:
1. Remove the lip (if you have it) at the bottom of the cowling that deflects airflow down and effectively under the radiator.
2. Keep the heated air from the muffler/exhaust from passing through the belly radiator.
I made an aluminum pan that attaches to the center section of the cowling, fits between the 2 mounting brackets of the belly radiator and ends just past the top of the radiator creating a tunnel where air entering the small oval opening around the prop can exit. exhaust air can also still exit the bottom of the cowling at the sides away from the radiator. The only issue I think I have with this setup is melting the muffler mount on the inlet end of the muffler probably due to the reduced airflow through the cowling.
I'm not sure if that will help Joey since his muffler appears to be mounted lower than most of the others I have seen but I am sure there is probably a work around.

For $500, you can have my complete engine, with mount, exhausts, carbs, throttle controls, redrive, and all the engine gauges and sending units - come and get it.
Jim says the manifold should fit yours.

I believe that Joey was talking about getting rid of his cheek rads and going belly mount, to move some weight back? Or, was that a side mount? Or, was it someone else? I'm getting OLD!
