It's that or hose clamps and rubber hose. Eg the older cassette type. Like I said a complicated system. Lyndon

In fact you now have 3 layout options to place them in series.To suit your aircraft I presume Lyndon

That's the old style pumps. These new ones don't use rubber hoses and pipe work. Those are not available any more. Lyndon

I've got the layout. Just need to buy the fittings. Lyndon

Sounds good.

Rotax have a complicated two pump set up with non return valves and an extra line with a restrictor. My question is. Do I just go to racetech and buy all the A an N fittings, elbows etc. The whole set up has flared fittings. Airframe mounted so little or no vibration. Or have off the shelf car fittings failed by experience and I need aircraft quality and price. Thanks Lyndon

I have an engine. The kit is sitting in Port Melbourne waiting for a berth. Hopefully in a few weeks it will be underway. The case and gearbox hardness test and oil galleries test were performed and it's a good one Lyndon

PTT Radio flip flop Trim AP disconnect Ident AP level On the other side a trim and PTT. Lyndon

What's a good comfortable grip and what are people putting on it. I have manual flaps so we can remove this. Thanks Lyndon

I ride adventure motorcycle's. Tubed and tubeless. Vast experience with punctures. A plug in a tubeless tyre works perfectly. A tube in a damaged tyre or rim on a tubeless tyre works perfectly. ( Patch the inside wall where damaged) Tubed , get the wheel off and patch it properly or a new tube. There are no short cuts. I personally wouldn't want to land on a tyre that wasn't fixed properly. Once you have done it a few times it does become easier. Lyndon

At two thousand hrs I would suggest the lifters and cam are toast. Especially if it's been run out of a school with on avgas. The last engine I built was full of sludge with the cam and lifters being roast. The rest of engine was in good nick. Lyndon

Box shipped Tuesday and has arrived in Richmond CA. Some prices, if anyone is thinking of importing an aircraft. The crate was $2100 USD Get the said crate to Richmond CA $2640 USD. You can do the maths at .64 cents in the dollar. Thanks Lyndon

The Kitfox is about to ship. Wednesday from Idaho to San Francisco. So by the end of next week it will be waiting for a LCL in San Francisco onto Adelaide. Hopefully late May early June it will arrive in Port Adelaide. Ordered September 2024 with a two year wait time for these aircraft. I'm thinking they like the sound of the long wait, but in reality its pretty much straight away for a build slot. Thanks Lyndon PS. Is this the right place to update my build. ???

I think there is a two or three new ones in Australia. Should be a fun build and nice to fly for a few years Lyndon

Its about to ship. So in a few months I will start a Kitfox build and a you tube. Stay tuned Lyndon
