Glad your back
Me too Joey! Thanks for watching and commenting. You have a good day, Matt
Good to see you back at it.
Thanks Sir, sometimes “life” happens and we need to take a break. Thanks for watching and commenting, have a good day. Matt
You got me to look up monel. 😏
I think we are always learning and there is nothing I hate worse than mispronouncing names or any other words for that matter. I was happy when someone corrected me on my pronunciation of “fillet” when it comes to aircraft! Different than a filet of fish I guess.
Matt, not sure if you tried to sit on the seat pan once it was installed. Prior to drilling the mounting holes in the fiberglass, I installed the pan and sat in it. I noticed the seat pan flexed enough to cause drag across the flaperon control tube under the pilot side, at full deflection. I tried using the dremel sanding drum and had some luck minimizing the drag it caused. I engineered a different solution. Just something to check out.
Hello Kevin and thanks for writing. I have not yet sat in the seat pan. I did however kneel inside during the screw lineup procedure as I read that things seemed to “flex” a little if there was no weight inside during that procedure.
If I remember correctly the Aileron Connect Tube had a bow in it allowing it to pass under the seat pan, albeit with minimal clearance. I am now on the KitFox website looking at the manual. On P. 28 there is a note discussing the possibly necessary adjustment of the aileron idler bell crank. Did you attempt that fix or come up with one of your own? I’m interested in seeing what you have going on as I’m now worried that upon sitting in mine I may have the same issue. Thanks for writing and have a great day. Matt
@@KingFox76 I attempted to make all the adjustments described in the manual but was unsuccessful in eliminating the slight drag. Eventually I settled on using 1/2” thick closed cell rubber weather strips across the tubes which support the rear ( backrest) of the seat pan. This raised the floor of the pan enough to not cause drag. With the rubber compressed I then drilled the seat pan mounting holes. The other option in my opinion would be to just use the dremel sanding drum to eliminate as much of the drag area as possible. I was concerned about causing additional flex in the pan and creating a weak point to be in the pan. I probably was overthinking the issue, but that’s what I did.
Well Kevin, it sounds like you have done your due diligence on the matter. Thanks for describing your workaround. When I get home I will check out the pan in greater detail and refer back to this message. I’ll also write to you if I have some more questions if that will be ok with you. Thanks again, have a great day. Matt
@@KingFox76 feel free to write if you have any other questions.
Thanks Kevin, I will do that. You have a Merry Christmas.
