  • Come along with Mark and me as we fly out to try a new line on the end of a peninsula that juts out into a lake. Definitely will be coming back here again. What a fun spot!

      You’re welcome. Thanks for the comment! The Kitfox is definitely the most fun airplane I’ve ever owned or flown. 👍🏻

    I always thought asphalt runway is must for landing a plane.
    But this video changed my thought.
    Thank-you, very much.

    To the man with the challenger, how are you keeping the sound of the motor noise out of your transmitting? I get a lot of noise when I transmit. What is your method?
    Thanks

      I have a CH II and found that with the doors off an electret style mic cover on my UFQ A28's works pretty darn well. With the doors on it's amazing. I route my audio through a Flightcom IIsx to boost levels out of my handheld which is set up for less resistance than an aviation headset.
      One thing you absolutely NEED to do is swap to solid terminal spark plugs if you don't run them already. If you don't have those the arcing will cause the caps to wear away and the spark plugs will become disconnected in flight if there are bumps. The arcing also sends out massive interference that might completely hinder your ability to Tx/Rx. If you're unable to get noise out of your tramissions at idle on the ground, check the plug terminals.

      I have the Continental O-200 in the Kitfox and I believe Mark has the Rotax 503 in his Challenger.
