  1. Does anyone have a drawing, with dimensions, bolt circle radius, threads, boss, etc., of a 912 crank adapter?EDMoAND, I guess this is different than the 582 prop hub?

    Hi Ed,

    Wanted to let you know early 912 bolt patterns or drive lugs are slightly different than newer versions. I found both patterns on the net

    When I needed them. BTW. Powerfin doesn't make a hub for early 912 engines.


  2. Thanks Chris, I will contact them . Still have the factory exhaust with one broken tube that I am getting welded so time is isn't a factor so far.

    When you take it to your welder,if it's stainless,make sure he can purge the inside with argon while welding. Or he can use a shielding "flux" inside the tube to prevent sugaring. If you don't the outside will look nice but the inside looks like crap and will likely break. My 2 cents

  3. New set of Cabane style highwing gear. chromoly construction,very nice! Used to fabricate jigs only.

    As shipped from highwing. 1500.00. Offers? Looks like this gear.

    Still have this gear guys! It's new new new. Someone needs this more than I do. Save some $$$$$$!


  4. Had a feeling. It did look very complete and what work had been done looked pretty nice too, good for you. Sad though, that another builder went West without realizing his dream. Make him proud!

    Will do my best! Will have a lot of xtras left over after the build. Trying to keep it light. and simple Will post more parts when I get time. Need to find a few active kitfox typ people in the Mi. In. Oh. Area. Would like to get some time in one before I finish .

    Thanks everyone Mike


  5. Welcome Xguy, just curious if you picked up that plane at an estate auction in OH last year? I haven't seen too many 4's with the orange powder coat like mine and tend to take notice. I almost drove over to check out the auction but schedule conflicts won out. Does good on the bush gear!

    That is the kitfox that sold at the estate auction. I ended up buying it from the guy that got it at the auction. He made a little but at least I knew what he gave for it. Very nice and complete kit,

    I upgraded a few things (like the gear). Just fired the rotax this weekend. Runs great!!
