KITFOX SERVICE BULLETINS

[EDMO 1078]

OK - I FOUND THE KITFOX SBs and Letters - Go to Kitfox site and scroll down the list at left to TECHNICAL FAQs, and you will see a list of all of them.   Unfortunately, I cant get the complete SB to show, like the old list let you do.   Someone smart could copy the important ones to post.

Ed, copying that is quite a bit of work, converting it to downloadable PDF's is a bit more and then still someone has to keep up with new additions. Any changes or cancellations and you're looking at a legal liability, too. Why not place a link to that page somewhere prominent on this site or develop a "Technical Resources" thread that can have all the links to pertinent sites in it?

 

Just an idea, I recently did this for my Soaring & Glider Resource Directory and peeps are clicking their mouses to death...

JJ,

     That Kitfox site wont let you download or print the SBs from the index.   I have the info for an old site somewhere in my files, and it would let you copy all the Kitfox SBs.   I will look for it in the future and try to list it on here.  I may need help to do that.

Thanks,

EdMO

Okay, I am officially confused. Just went to the KF Site, clicked on the latest Mandatory SB (#56).

Select All --> Copy --> Open Office New Document --> Paste and push the Convert To PDF button.

 

Save as --> Give it a name --> Ding!

Your soup is done! Time required ~ 1 Minute.

On some of them you'd have to do some formatting and editing.

It is perfectly fine for anyone to do this for their own records and maintenance books.

It is not so fine for someone to do this intending to republish or disseminate the information on a website.

 

Like I just did....   Fortunately mine is for a free replacement of your aquarium tank pump.

 

At the very least you'll run the risk of giving people access to something that may be subject to editorial changes.

For example, a SB is updated and a newer version is on file with Kitfoxaircraft.com - but your member downloads and C/W what you have.

 

Then the front falls off. The survivors and their attorneys now say:

 

"Uhhh. Look! Just two days ago he was happy as a clam because he found the SB for his Jesus Nut."

 

From what I understand about the law, he or she who gets dinged for this in a wrongful death lawsuit has a choice:

 

Would you like you ass grilled (1) Very Crispy BBQ or (2) Very Crispy BBQ Honeynut.
