    Brett REALLY needs to find a way to acknowledge calls and emails in a much more timely fashion IMHO, even if only an auto-reply saying he will call/email back within a few days or whatever. I'm sure whenever he finds time to return a call personally, he is tied up in a long conversation which is counter-productive to producing and shipping parts etc. so it ends up becoming a damned if you do, damned if you don't kind of thing. But, is it a legit business or what? I'd hate to see him fall into the trap of trying to be/do all things to all people and falling short on all counts. Many well-intentioned businesses either falter or fail to reach the next level with that mentality. At some point an assistant is necessary, is his dear wife up for helping on the phone at all?

    copy and paste into your browser , download and follow instructions. Norton and most others are crap at protecting your registry....and letting you surf without fear of getting a bug where they like to hide.
    And it will clean a server too. Just run server HD as slave from laptop hardwired.

    I have a standard Kitfox 2 gear for sale (gear only) that should fit your 3 - also the Grove gear listed here.

    Cant find "edit" on this new site - so adding here that the Grove Spring Gear measures 60 inches wide, and you add the brake and tire width on each side to that. Believe the height from frame to center of axel is 20 or 22 inche.
    This is probably wider than the stock Avid gear.

    GROVE SPRING GEAR AND MATCO WHEELS, BRAKES, AXELS
    I have upgraded my Grove spring gear (1200 gvw) and Matco W-60 or W-600 (1420 lbs each), Matco brakes and Axels to fit
    Grove gear, to a Kitfox 7 gear (1550 gvw) completely.
    I will have my old set, which are like almost new, for sale. MAY, OR MAY NOT, Have mounting blocks for sale, but you can still get them from Grove. These are adaptable to Kitfox 1 - 4, and whatever Avids that are under 1200 gvw, I guess.
    Anyone interested, please reply or send me a pm.
    Grove sells the gear for $1650, and Kitfox wants about $4000 for the whole set, but they include tires, I think?
    Mine are prices a lot cheaper - a lot cheaper!

    I still have a problem accessing the site with Firefox on my Windows machines. Only way on is with phone or iPad using Safari. Im a bit loath to clear my cookies since I tend to forget my passwords! Anyone else ok now or is the site still infected?

    Leni- here's a link to google's webmaster tools that includes a 'how-to' for removing malicious code, maybe helpful?

    Warp HP-L blade clamping bolt size?
    Re: Warp Drive 3-blade prop w/ HP-L hub on 912ul.

    While re-torqueing my prop and 1/4" blade clamping bolts I discovered galling on a few of the clamping bolts so I'm replacing all. Unfortunately, I can't find a definitive size for the clamping bolts in my docs, on the Warp site or here, and I don't have an old bolt handy.

    Can anyone confirm my best guess of AN4-20A please? Tnx

    New Magnum Forum!
    Ron!

    I've taken the liberty of copy 'n pasting your post here so Leni will find your request for a new Magnum forum quicker.

    Hopefully, he will NOT bunch you into the Avid+ forum as the Airdale LSA was. We are all unique models and deserve our own little slice of Paradise, IMHO!

    Looking forward to learning more about your Magnum.

    Hey Leni,

    I'm new to your site, but wanted to thank you for setting it up. Lots of good information here!

    I was wondering if you could add an "Avid Magnum" section. Not a whole lot of us out there, but it would be nice to find the others here.

    Thanks,
    Ron
