 Sorry about the slow response. Joey called me and let me know that you were interested. Yes I still have the plane if you have any questions the best way to get a hold of me is by phone. My phone number is 925 354 9204 

Thanks Joey,congrats on the retirement.

Early Kitfox 1-2, this was my dads plane. He flew it around 1 year ago. Probably needs to be restored, good project.

New Jerusalem 

Welcome willy . I went through 100 mile two years ago on my way to Ak . I thought at the time it would be a beautiful place to fly over. ( we were in the motorhome). 

Thanks for the replys . I didn't understand that the tail needed to be level when it was weighed. After re reading the instructions it is pretty clear. I did level the plane to find the arm. It was +1.5   I will re weigh the plane leveled from the 3rd hinge rib. It will be interesting to see the difference. I will post the results . Thanks again Rusty

Ed the numbers came out the same, but when I did the loaded numbers I came up with 16.45 

I will recheck the numbers . Thanks Ed 

Hi Ed that is empty . I think the Cg limits are 11" and 16.5

i just completed the Cg calculations on my mk4 long speed wing I ended up at 16.63 the total weight is 583 . The Cg is a little aft .any advice or suggestions Would be helpful . Thanks Rusty

Nice !

Looks like fun

Kd I'm glad you are going to be ok . Wishing you a speedy recovery, Rusty

Hi Joey I'm in Brentwood  I have a mk 4 you can trace the rudder it is covered though , if you can get what you need you are welcome to come take a look.  hope this helps

Hi Lorenz if l understand you correctly you are looking for apps for your iPad . I looked at foreflight and wing x .I ended up going with the wing x and think it is very user friendly and accurate. Hope this helps

Hi all I figured out what the problem was . Apparently on a 582 with a clutch you have to file a small amount off the bottom of the carb slide and install a #35 idle jet. A member on the other site was having the same issue. So far I have filed down the slide, the idle is down to 1800 but I'm still very rich. I'm ordering the jets tonight I will post the results when I get done , thanks for your help

Flyn the stock jet is # 55 , I have checked for leaks on the boots at the motor and the carbs. Not sure where to go from here. Any more help would be great. Thanks rusty

Thanks for the suggestions Flyn ,the slides are all the way down and the cables are all seated properly and operate smoothly. 

i have a 582 grey head with a rk clutch that I changed the idle jet from stock to a # 45 now the idle has gone up to around 2300 .i have turned the idle adjustment screw all the way out but no change . Anyone else experienced this? Thanks rusty
