    Since were asking about stuff like this, the other day I went to the New Lisbon and Mauston Wisconsin Airport fly in  over Labor day weekend and saw a teal blue and pink Kitfox 4 1050 sitting on a trailer but never did find the owner, Was wondering what he had for an engine in that thing, From what I could see it looked like an HKS type? Anybody know who's it is?

    Well I just couldn't give up so after weeks of digging drilling and water jetting I finally got what I wanted. She is producing an easy 3 gallons a minute. Pump is keeping up and well is flowing better and better every night. Definitely was harder than I thought it would be but I did save 2500 bucks so was it worth it, Hell yeah it was. Only thing left to do is cement the top few feet of the casing in.  Ok now what should I work on ha.

    I think that's quite normal. Put a little silicone in there and then the correct rubber boot on the top. I believe JBM makes a fairly good one the rotax ones are junk.

    A quick update here I spent the weekend drilling my well.  Got to 30 feet and hit ground that was so rocky and hard that I had to stop.  Im in 8 feet of water but thats not nearly enough for a sprinkler.  But thats ok you win some and you loose some.  Time to start working on something else. Might try again later.

    What about just shorting the HS by a few inches on each side? Do you think you would notice it?

    Or this could work if your short, with a little tubing work, One thing about it if you're sitting on gas you butt might stay cooler.

    Two panels I just like the looks of wood in the wilderness. Thats why I built it,  But you are correct if it would move south west in the evening it would be more efficient.
