    Okay I am at that phase where I need help with some electrical.  Below are some pictures. Please give me some direction.

    Picture 1:  That is the starter switch.  Where does red go to.

    Picture 2:  The two white wires where cut.  Where do they hook up.

    Picture 3:  The two white wires where cut.  Where do they hook up.

    Picture 4:  What hooks to the pole I am pointing to.

    Thanks for your help.  I am real close to being done and will post video of first start up and first take off and flight with 912 ULS 100 HP.  I hope to go to moon and back.  :o

    Okay I just found out that the horizontal cable is throttle.  HA HA I was totally confused.  Called Lockwood Aviation.  They said with the Macfarlane Vernier throttle control its okay to have it spring loaded at full throttle.  :huh:

    Dumb Question.

    I have the Rotax carbs like the one in picture below.  I bought the Macfarlane Vernier push pull throttle.  If I am not mistaken the carb in picture requires pulling to open throttle.  This is opposite of pushing in the Vernier throttle for opening carbs.  What do I need to correct this.

    Thanks

    Cool that's good to know.  What size prop did he end up with?  I want to see that rocket take off.

    Has the prop been tested for that level of RPM?  :huh:

    I just replaced my firewall and wondering if you have any suggestions for sound deadening on the cockpit side of firewall.  What type of material?  Where do I find it?

    Thanks

    Hi guys! I'm a new guy and I need some input. I'm seriously considering buying a1989 model "C" Heavy Hauler kit. An 'ol guy, Rodney, bought it off a widow woman. Her husband bought it in '89 and the only thing he ever did to it was to primer the fuse, nothing else. Rodney told a friend of mine, who told me about it, that he stoled it! (figure of speech). It came with a 532 and a round "Kitfox" cowl. He said he had some steam gauges, different radiator, strobes and some other goodies. There is no fabric, but there is Poly-Fiber dope, which may or may not be any good. There is no build manual or any other paperwork with it. Fact of the matter, I don't know if it's all there! Big Question!: If it's not, can I get parts? Also,I'm thinking that, if I were to get it, a 582 would go on, instead of the 532. All this stuff has been setting in a barn for 27 years! I'm thinking that if I could get it for $3500, that be fair if he kept the 532. Whadda' think?

    I have a 582 for it in the for sale section of this forum.

    What do you recommend for a complete package for a throttle control and the cables leading from it through firewall to carbs.  For a model C AVID.  Will the one in the picture below work? How do those plain ends attach to the carbs?

    Thanks

    I guess a setup for MK4 will fit into Type C as well. Just starting to rebuilt a bird that settled since 2006. I have an engine mount for 582 but nothing more under the cowling.

    Would you ship to germany?

    Sorry I probably could not afford to ship to Germany.
