  • 65 HP 582? Or mod?

    My 65 HP Kitfox 2 with 1260's takes 1200 feet of water to hop.....

    Maybe I need to check my power output?

  • @schmupsiMN

    1200 is way too much, check how they are rigged.  She does better on the 1450's, but 1260 were OK.

  • Thanks for the advice!

    Any rigging tips that you had success with would be appreciated!

    I'll send a video when I can (maybe you will see something I'm missing)

    Still think it is a power problem though... yours just picks up speed so much better.... makes me think I'm only pumping about 50 HP!

  • @schmupsiMN

    I'm working on a 140 HP fuel injected 800 engine to put in it.. should be lots of fun when that is done! Send pics and vids, will see if I can spot anything wrong. Where is your step in relation to the CG, and what degree of positive incidence do you have on the wing?

  • How many feet are you averaging for take-offs/landings on those bad boys?

  • the "pond" I landed on is 253' long

see all

  • @correllwl You should watch for the red flag flights out of Eielson. I think I remember going right when the northern lights ended, must have been about this time.

  • Now this is how Full Lotus floats are meant to be used!!!
