more on the Irish... ya gotta lovemToo Ra Loo Ra Loo Ra
Paddy was driving down the street in a sweat because he had an important meeting and couldn't find a parking place. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a parking place I will go to Mass every Sunday for the rest of me life and give up me Irish Whiskey!"
Miraculously, a parking place appeared.
Paddy looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one."

Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
The man said, "I do, Father."
The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall."
Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply.
"Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest.
Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father."
The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said , "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now."

Paddy was in New York
He was patiently waiting and watching the traffic cop on a busy street crossing. The cop stopped the flow of traffic and shouted, "Okay, pedestrians." Then he'd allow the traffic to pass.
He'd done this several times, and Paddy still stood on the sidewalk.
After the cop had shouted, "Pedestrians!" for the tenth time, Paddy went over to him and said, "Is it not about time ye let the Catholics across?"

Gallagher opened the morning newspaper and was dumbfounded to read in the obituary column that he had died. He quickly phoned his best friend, Finney.
"Did you see the paper?" asked Gallagher. "They say I died!!"
"Yes, I saw it!" replied Finney. "Where are ye callin' from?"

An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.
He says, "Sir, have you been drinking?"
"Just water," says the priest.
The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?"
The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord! He's done it again!"

Walking into the bar, Mike said to Charlie the bartender, "Pour me a stiff one - just had another fight with the little woman."
"Oh yeah?" said Charlie, "And how did this one end?"
"When it was over," Mike replied, "She came to me on her hands and knees.
"Really," said Charles, "Now that's a switch! What did she say?"
She said, "Come out from under the bed, you little chicken."

Flynn staggered home very late after another evening with his drinking buddy, Paddy. He took off his shoes to avoid waking his wife, Mary.
He tiptoed as quietly as he could toward the stairs leading to their upstairs bedroom, but misjudged the bottom step. As he caught himself by grabbing the banister, his body swung around and he landed heavily on his rump. A whiskey bottle in each back pocket broke and made the landing especially painful.
Managing not to yell, Flynn sprung up, pulled down his pants, and looked in the hall mirror to see that his butt cheeks were cut and bleeding. He managed to quietly find a full box of Band-Aids and began putting a Band-Aid as best he could on each place he saw blood.
He then hid the now almost empty Band-Aid box and shuffled and stumbled h is way to bed.
In the morning, Flynn woke up with searing pain in both h is head and butt and Mary staring at him from across the room.
She said, "You were drunk again last night weren't you?"
Flynn said, "Why you say such a mean thing?"
"Well," Mary said, "it could be the open front door, it could be the broken glass at the bottom of the stairs, it could be the drops of blood trailing through the house, it could be your bloodshot eyes, but mostly.....it's all those Band-Aids stuck on the hall mirror.

The crotchety guys are not over here. They dont like freedom of speech I guess. For the most part, if they are acting like a jackass they dont like it that I can and will call them a jackass. This site is intended to be more than stricktly a "builders reference" more of a place to hang out and talk about flying in general, building or modding you plane, and general BSing that is not allowed on the "list". You know, and fun place to go and get info too!
John does not have bubble doors on his KF II, they are just full lexan (I know cause I put almost 200 hrs on it last year) lol. I have a bussy local that is re-building a mod I right now and he is looking for full bubble doors also. If we find any that will work I will let you know. Good luck with the test flights and keep us posted on how it goes.

SkySteve added a post in a topic Steve are ya lost buddy
Hey, is everybody here also on the Kitfox Matronics list? I don't see much activity here so haven't been around for awhile. I've been testing my Fox during the last week getting ready for it's first flight since my rebuild. Looks like I'm getting close to the actual first flight, but its snowing again today. The weather report says it will be snowing until next Monday, today is Thursday. Eskflyer, I see you have a Kitfox Model 2. Do you have the bubble doors? I would like to put some on my Model I but haven't figured out how to, yet. Any advice?

Shamus O'Malley's deathBrenda O'Malley is home making dinner, as usual, when Tim Finnegan arrives at her door.
"Brenda, may I come in?" he asks. "I've somethin' to tell ya".
"Of course you can come in, you're always welcome, Tim. But where's my husband?"
"That's what I'm here to be telling ya, Brenda. There was an accident down at the Guinness brewery..."
"Oh, God no!" cries Brenda. "Please don't tell me."
" I must, Brenda. Your husband Shamus is dead and gone. I'm sorry."
Finally, she looked up at Tim. "How did it happen, Tim?"
"It was terrible, Brenda he fell ito a vat of Guinness Stout and drowned."
"Oh my dear Jesus! But you must tell me truth, Tim. Did he at least go quickly?"
"Well, Brenda... no. In fact, he got out three times to pee!"

Paddy MurphyInto a Belfast pub comes Paddy Murphy, looking like he'd just been run over by a train. His arm is in a sling, his nose is broken, his face is cut and bruised
and he's walking with a limp.
"What happened to you?" asks Sean, the bartender.
"Jamie O'Conner and me had a fight," says Paddy.
"That little rat, O'Conner," says Sean, "He couldn't do that to you, he must have had something in his hand."
"That he did," says Paddy, "a shovel is what he had, and a terrible lickin' he gave me with it."
"Well," says Sean, "you should have defended yourself. "Didn't you have something in your hand?"
"That I did," said Paddy. "Mrs. O'Conner's breast, and a thing of beauty it was, but useless in a fight!!!"

Redneck FishermanA redneck was stopped by a game warden in Central Texas recently with two ice chests full of fish.
He was leavin' a cove well known for its fishing.
The game warden asked the man, 'Do you have a license to catch those fish?'
'Naw, sir', replied the redneck. 'I ain't got none of them there licenses. You must understand, these here are my pet fish.'
'Pet fish?'
'Yeah. Every night, I take these here fish down to the lake and let 'em swim 'round for awhile. The n, when I whistle, they jump right back into these here ice chests and I take 'em home.'
'That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that.'
The redneck looked at the warden for a moment and then said, 'It's the truth Mr. Government Man. I'll show ya. It really works.'
'OK', said the warden. 'I've got to see this!'
The redneck poured the fish into the lake and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the warden says, 'Well?'
'Well, what?', says the redneck.
The warden says, 'When are you going to call them back?'
'Call who back?'
'The FISH', replied the warden!
'What fish?', replied the redneck.
...
Moral of the story: We may not be as smart as some city slickers, but we ain't as dumb as some government employees.
You can say what you want about the South, but you never hear of anyone retiring and moving north.

kl7jw added a post in a topic are you kidding me???
I do not enjoy that kind of weather. Hard to anticipate where ice may or may not be on the road. Saw a lot of ditch divers along that 4 lane stretch between Anchorage and Wasilla the 8 winters I drove to Anchorage and back from Willow almost every day. I never had any problems out on that road except one time. That was when I made a bad decision to pass a guy that was driving real slow on the 2 lane stretch between Willow and Houston. I swapped ends and hit a snowbank, but was able to drive right back on the road and go on.
Seems like the mountains get a few every year when the ice and snow softens up. You'd think that folks would learn after a while, but they don't seem to pay any attention to history and go hang it out regardless of the conditions.

No flying so far for the last 4 months. I'm in the middle of rebuilding an old motor home, and the Kitfox needs some minor stuff done - replace Lexan on left door, redo the door latches on both doors, and some minor electrical changes in the cockpit.

are you kidding me???I still cant beleive that someone would be offended by Guys comment... I got an idea.. if it offends you piss off. You are too damn stupid to fly a plane to begin with. How can one deal with the real issues that come up in the cockpit if you cant deal with a simple "test pilot" comment.
Post up here, no one will censor you, but we may belittle you in a good natured way! (its called busting your balls, you need to put on your big boy panties and deal with it)
end of rant, for now.

back on the projectWell after not touching the plane for 8 months I finaly got my ass in gear and got back to work on it. I only worked on it for the last day and a half I was home, but I replaced 3 of the rib tails on the left wing and the cap strips.. two more and I will be ready for a little fiberglassing on the wing tip, making / fairing in the mount for the nav light then covering. It is possible to get the bugger in the air in sometime next month.
Anyone else having fun in their fox or avid?

SkySteve added a post in a topic Kitfox Bubble Doors
I was afraid of that. The new doors are now complete without any width added. I may try to bend them a little and later on fabricate some new ones.

akflyer added a post in a topic Kitfox Bubble Doors
I think you may be SOL on this one unless you pull them yourself. One off sets are not going to be a feasable option. If you are still in the building, or re-building phase, you can make your own "wide body" kit and a new set of doors, but that is a bit of fabrication. I did not see the wide body kit till after I had just got done covering mine.. I was tempted to pull the covering off and start over, but in the end, I am sticking with stock width.... maybe if I ding it up in a few years I will widen it out.

Kitfox Bubble DoorsI've completed a rebuild on a Kitfox Model I . . . that is, everything but the doors. I can't find any kind of bubble door for the Model I. Any one have ANY ideas. I tried Murl Williams "wide body" kit, but it didn't fit.

I agree with Leonard. Spray on foam insulation is the best way to do it. It don't have to be thick, just an inch or so. I've never seen a metal building with that stuff on the inside sweat.
