Kitfox Model IV - 1050 Prooject

Kitfox Model IV - 1050 Project for sale. 375 hrs TTAF, approx. 213 hrs SMOH on Rotax 582 grey head. I bought this airplane last summer, but it was damaged in transport while I was bringing it home on a trailer. It needs some work before it is airworthy. Needs new fabric, and the longerons on the top of the fuselage behind the turtledeck need to be straightened. I also have a new molded windshield and clear bubble doors from LP Aero and a new clear lexan turtledeck from Kitfox. Has Grove spring gear, tundra tires and skis. Has dual 13 gallon wing tanks. Registered as an Advanced Ultralight (AULA) in Canada. â€¢ Contact Randy Engler, Owner - located Sylvan Lake, AB Canada â€¢ Telephone: 403-896-0551 Email:rengler@live.ca - will consider trading up to a flying aircraft.

RDavidson added a post in a topic Best way to remove powder coating 7 May 2013

Well, I used just about everyone's ideas.
I used some aircraft paint stripper from a local automotive store. I brushed it in the area, and then wrapped with tin foil. Then came back with a wire brush. Worked like a champ!

Thanks,
Ron

EDMO added a post in a topic In-line fuel shutoff valves 7 May 2013

Mine are not installed yet - plan for one on each tank, and one main valve in cockpit - part # 1PZA8.
Believe this part number is used for 2 sizes, but there are two more sizes.

My Grainger valves can be ordered any size - I bought the 3/8 size which also take 3/8 NPT fittings for -6 tube or push-on for 3/8 hose. You can get cheaper brass valves from them - I just liked the chrome and spent a few more bucks.

Tree top pilot added a topic in Avidfoxflyers General Hangar 6 May 2013

Here is what I wouild like to modify a bit.....

I really like what this guy is doing on the project. I just can't swallow the loads impressed on the crank shaft with his choice of materials for it. I have spoke with him a few times.....he is convinced the crank is fine. Me.....not so much. I have run all kinds of static and dynamic numbers and it just doesn't look good on the crank after a few million cycles. There is a lot of things trying to twist the crank apart.
I think I will be getting with Scott Casler for a stroker 2 cylinder. James Wiebe seems to get along well with on. Here is the link.....nice guy and very knowledgeable.

Who has a full lexan turtledeck?

I've been building the turtledeck using aluminum for the sides and a sheet of .090 lexan for the top and I'm wondering how much reinforcement It needs. I saw a couple pics way back that showed a single post with a flat pad on top that butted against the t-deck at the center but I cant find them now.

I'm curious if that had a camlock on it and if just that center support was enough that it wasnt bouncing around.

My t-deck is about 3" taller than stock at the rear carry through.
