    I've watched a number of videos of light planes on skis. I believe I would want one on the tail as well.

  4. KFfan added a post in a topic Kitfox and floats on barnstormers 912   

    I think when I saw it yesterday it was listed as a 2...  or was that on e-bay?
    I does look like a good deal
     
    I was excited until I saw the location.

    Every 2-3 cable diameters?
    That could end up being a lot of lacing

    You figured out more than I did when I read it yesterday.

    Thanks for the write-up and photos.

  15. KFfan added a post in a topic ADS-B   

    EAA and AOPA are lobbying to enable use of NON-CERTIFIED ADS-B out devices in experimental and homebuilt craft. They also continue to lobby for 3rd class medical reform. Both are also lobbying to get all ADS-B IN information available whether or not you are transmitting OUT.
     
    It is amazing they can, with seemingly little delay, authorize powered paper airplane use in airspace but not make any progress on changes that benefit thousands of pilots and general aviation.

    Oil Money
    I saw a aerial shot of the tarmak at South Bend, IN airport during the TX/ND game. There were at least 20 biz jets parked in a group. Too bad I sold my oil stocks and bought China mutual funds...

    I plan to use the IN feature on AVARE.
    OUT requirement...I'll probably just steer clear of the areas where it is required.

    Thanks for the responses. After posting, I read about the effect of washout and realized these airplanes have that design feature. I think I remember a few posts here that guys were, civilly, arguing the benefit of more and less washout.

    Thanks for your attempt to get me to post more meaningful content but I think my questions, perhaps yours, have been answered.
     
    I saw on AOPA today that the FAA has authorized unmanned flight of PAPER AIRPLANES(!) yet they won't comit on the elimination of the 3rd class medical....

    Idle Brain B4 The Holiday
    While reading about a DIY ADS-B in device, I tripped over a write-up about Stall Strips. I've not seen any mention of them here. I now have some insight of their purpose and use. Seeking sage info/advice about them. Are they advantageous or even needed on Avids/Foxes? Since I've not been aloft in one yet I have no sense of stall indication  in one.
     
    Thanks

    Skip
     
    I've not used a radio in my Kitfox but I have extensive use of  professional 2-way radio communications.
    Your description of the squwak seems to indicate two possible sources of the noise.
     
    1. The mic on the radio is not being disconnected when you attach a headset or the headset mic is not performing noise cancellation or it is not close enough to your mouth. Do you speak      loudly when transmitting?
     
    2. The noise is not ambient sound
     
    Has this situation suddenly become an issue? Additional information would be helpful.
