    Thanks Joey!  You and I now have the same tail now and I will use the other thread to mount mine the same.
    I have the Stol HH wing without the solid leading edge too and I have heard mixed reviews as well.  Ill get a set of 50 for the tail now.

    VGs? Who has them and do you like them?
    I have been toying with the idea on installing VGs on the tail and wing on my Avid.  Who has them and what are you thoughts?

  5. thebriman added a post in a topic Brake pedal mods   

    I rebuilt my pedals twice. With double puck matco brakes and mc4 masters, 3.87 to one was too much brake.  My second iteration was about 2.87 to 1 and it is perfect. I had to move the master cylinder attach point on the pedal cross tube and connect the pedal to the top of the master cylinder shaft with a through hole and a AN3 bolt rather than the clevis supplied by matco.  I have enough brakes to easily hold a full power run.

    Rotax 582 tools
    Does anyone have the 582 cylinder and exhaust alignment tools to align the cylinders upon installation? I normally just use the exhaust and the head to align it but I was wondering if anyone had the alignment bars.

    If you cant find one, talk to Rod at Performance Products.  He makes the tanks for Kitfox now.  Vinyl ester resin, ethanol proof.  He made a left tank for my avid which fit and functions perfectly.  Highly recommended! email him at:  sales@performanceproducts1.com

    I use the same valves as Leni, except mine are 1/4" tube for the Tygon on the top and 1/8" NPT on the bottom which is threaded into the top of my header tank.

    I'll be there the whole week as usual, only this time I'd like to meet up with the rest of the Avid Fox folks.  Where is your camp?  I usually drive in and stay at Scholler with some friends but I assume you are near UL field..

  20. thebriman added a post in a topic Fold the Wing Drain the Tank?   

    I have found if you fold the wings with tanks over about half full, fuel will leak out on the way home.
