Nascar racing at Michigan International Speedway brings out a variety
of flying machines, from the multi-million-dollar jets that park at
nearby Jackson County Reynolds Field (JXN) to the guys that haul the
banners around before the Sunday race, to the Chinooks and Blackhawks
that sat down at closer-by Napoleon Airport (3NP..prior to their fly-
by), to the P-51 of Jack Roush, who did a fly-by before Saturdays race.
I did my part by flying over the track about 6:30am to try to wake up
anybody who wasn't hung over from the night before. With a Jabiru up
front, not much noise is forthcoming, but I did my best. Following
that flight, I went out to JXN to land, taxi about, and take off, all
before the tower opened. To me, that is a kind of eerie feeling to
call the tower of a Class D airport, whose ramp is littered with the
20-some jets waiting to depart come Sunday evening, and not hear a
sound in return. I made a call that I was departing from the
intersection of taxiway Bravo and runway 24, and not a peep of
discouragement came from the tower. So off I went, glancing down at
the assembled "million-dollar dogwhistles" below, and flew up to
Mason-Jewett (TEW) for a Dawn Patrol breakfast. I talked to a guy up
there who was building a Model 7 Kitfox, but lost his medical,
depriving him of his hobby and his livelihood....he was a commercial
pilot up until last year. He said he's also lost his enthusiasm for
finishing the plane, and I did my best to bolster his aviation
spirits. Leaving there I flew to 3TE in Tecumseh to look at a Cygnet
that was just purchased by a friend. I left there to fly into 3NP to
hang out and watch the banner fliers pick up their banners, then fly
around the track.
When the wind picked up to gusts of about 25...my guess...I got out
of there and passed a banner-towing flier coming the other way. His
plane was crabbing, his banner was crabbing, and my plane was
crabbing. I got to thinking how much of a problem I'd have if that
banner got detached and decided to become a dust cover for my
plane....in flight...and I gave the other pilot a wide berth as I was
downwind of that banner. It's only a 2.5 mile flight from 3NP to my
strip, but that ride was pretty wild, and I was glad to put it away
after it. Seeing all the various forms of flying machines right here
in my own backyard is almost as good as being at Oshkosh.

Yes, I do, Gary. They are the original ones that came with the 1994
era Kitfox.

Yup, checking weather is wise...that's one of the reasons that I have
Pilot My-Cast on my phone. I can at least get an idea of what the
weather is and will become (within reason) over the course of the
day. And with the radar function, you can tell where it is possible
to fly. Yesterday's stormy weather was predicted in the TAF for JXN,
and it was pretty close to the time they predicted. They called for
thunderstorms in the vicinity around 2 pm, and the wind that sent me
scurrying home came at about 1 pm.

Gary-
I have the Grove gear, and I just had to eyeball the situation and
make a bracket that used the Grove bolted-on-axle through-bolts to
secure the bracket. If you think pictures of this will help, I'd be
glad to send them out.
Better yet, let me look, as I might have the original instructions
for the tube gear.

Gary-
I found the original box for the wheel pants installation kit finally
(I never throw anything away...it's just a matter of where I "filed"
it), and so I have a bunch of parts that I didn't use for my
installation, and you're welcome to them, along with the
instructions, a drawing, and the packing list. The whole shootin'
match weighs about 3 pounds. If all you need is the instructions and
the drawings, I'll either send them to you via mail, or get with my
neighbor who has a better system for OCR(?) scanning the written
word...and the drawings. My system doesn't (or its owner doesn't) do
a very good job. Maybe a fax would be better. But if all you got was
the pants, you'll need the parts that I have and some other parts
that I used. Let me know what you need and how to go about getting
them to you.
The parts that I have consist mainly of the left and right cover
plates for the brakes, z-braces, reinforcing straps, LA washers,
Nylatron spacer material,and some hardware. I used the spindles, a
couple of bolts, machine screws, all the solid rivets, and all the
nutplates. If you have a packing list that came with the installation
kit, you can see what is missing. The spindles are the biggest item
that you'll need if you don't have it...they are merely 1/2" diameter
(I think) chrome moly tubes with a washer welded on one end and a nut
welded inside (for retaining the outside of the pant).

Re: Off-topic...flying machines and Nascar
Gary-
I have the Grove gear, and I just had to eyeball the situation and
make a bracket that used the Grove bolted-on-axle through-bolts to
secure the bracket. If you think pictures of this will help, I'd be
glad to send them out.
Better yet, let me look, as I might have the original instructions
for the tube gear.
