I recently sold C-GVW to a gentleman in Westport, Ontario (near Ottawa) and he will soon be added to the list. I was under the impression that  I might be returning to Australia in the very bear future which prompted the sale but as always in business things change and it now appears that I will be remaining in Canada for at least a couple of years.  

   

I couldn’t go long without a Kitfox so I managed to purchase another one from Cornwall,  Ontario. My new plane is a Model 4 with Jabiru 2200 and I am now going through the motions of personalizing it.  

   

This email is to basically introduce the new owner of C-IGVW (George Briggs)  to the list .  

   

Best regards

Welcome to the wonderful world of Jabiru power, Gary. What serial # is 

your engine? I hope you got the later one with the larger heads, and 

more cooling area like mine (ser. # 2062). I've got over a hundred 

hours on mine and I love it. I may regret saying it, but one nice thing 

about having Jab power is that I can skip by all the mail that relates 

to Rotax and their problems, and concentrate on reading about how 

Kitfoxes fly! And yes, I had a few minor problems at first with the 

Jab, but solved them early on.

Hi Lynn



I don't have the S/No with me at work but I'll find out and send it to you

on Monday. I have had quite a time trying to get the EGT under control as I

had a very high EGT at WOT and I had to re-jet to get them right. All other

temps and pressures are right on the money.



I really like the sound and vibration free operation and it is a really

simple power plant to work on. My new plane is model 4 with all speed mods

and it crises around 90mph at 2600rpm burning 14 Ltr / hr - (How does that

compare with yours?)



I had about 500 hrs on my last Rotax 582 powered Kitfox (250 since major

overhaul.) and I really never had any problems. With the few flights I've

done to date with the Jab  2200 I am pretty happy with the performance. This

weekend will tell!!!

Best regards

Hi Gary-

I just flew about 109 statute miles using about 7.6 gallons (US) into a 

direct 20-25mph headwind.  Because I was nearly out of fuel from my 

home-based fuel supply, I could only fill each tank to about "that far" 

from the tank neck before I started the trip. After I landed at my 

destination, which was Mt. Pleasant, MI, I refueled, again filling to 

the "same" eyeballed mark...not very scientific, you'll agree. Now that 

I'm home I'll try to again fill to the same guess, and see what the 

burn was with a tailwind. Again, not very scientific, but without the 

fuel at home to fill to the neck before starting out, I could not get a 

very accurate reading. Now that I'm cleared for solo x-country flights, 

AND get a delivery of 100LL at home, I will be able to fill, fly to a 

distant airport, fill, and be able to report an accurate number.
