Hi James

I have not started my wings yet, I was waiting to start them till I can get the folding wing attachment kit.

James the fuel pump used on the Rotax 912 engines is an electric facet pump. Aircraft Spruce #40105 21/2 - 41/2 psi max. Any more psi and you run the risk of over powering carb floats and flooding engine.

Jim,

Thanks for the comment. I can't remember all the adjustments that was on the DVD, but we did not heat the water inlet connections with a torch and rotate as shown. I believe I did rotate the water pump inlet to suite my installation.The main thing is to take your time and sink up the carbs- they need to be pretty precise  for the engine to run smooth. 

Ask any questions you may have- don't know if I will have the answer but I will share what I know.

Jim,

Feel free to visit any time, my airport Edgefield County ( 6J6 ) is located about 20 miles from Augusta Ga, and about 10 miles from Aiken,SC in the small town of Trenton,SC. I live in North Augusta,SC, about 20 mi from the airport.

Jim,

If you visit I can show you all the things we did to install the 912s. We also used the Rotax air inlet manifold which they say gives you the full 100 hp.( I guess because the engine is pulling cool air from outside the cowling instead of the hot air under the cowling.) Plus using the manifold gives you a  way to have carb heat if needed.

Jim,

The covering on the top skin is part of the Zenith interior kit.

Jim,

I put some rubber edging along the edge that is against the glass.  I fit mine before the glass and then refit after glass was installed.  I painted the skins seperate and then installed very last thing....touched up rivets with brush.

Dear James good evening!

I am trying to "force" the Airfox people to do the kit. Unfortunately is not the first priority for them so I had to wait. Soon I get news I will post it.

Thx!

Hi James.    I liked the seat rails, well built and would fit quite well.

I actually found during fitting the seats that the semi-recumbant position of the seat design fits different height people quite well.    Im all legs and found that I needed to position the seat all the way back to give me a comfortable fit and this position also fit most people.   Ended up just going with the design attachment and put a second set of nut plates forward about 4" for really short folks.

Easy enough to install seat rails later if the stock system is found wanting.

Cheers

The two positions I picked were fully back and fully forward.    I used lightweight closed cell foam so my seats are relatively thin and even so my buddy is 5'7" and he found the position quite comfortable.    I cut the rudder control rods shorter to accommodate my legs.

Dear James, /// the wheel pants are maked in S Miguel Arcanjo/S Paulo/Brazil by Pedro Mello (pedrinho-mello@uol.com.br).
