Re: Kitfox 4 Microsoft FSX
A bit more development over the weekend. Now its to fine tuning and adding more detail.
I need someone with a stock Kitfox 4 with the 582 in it to give me some performance figures. Take off runs, airspeed (knots ias) at different rpms, climb rates.
At the moment this is its current performance (1500 ft)
71 kts @ 6500 RPM.
60 kts @ 5600 RPM
700 fpm climb at 50 kts
Is this about correct without speed fairings?
Re: Kitfox 4 Microsoft FSX
It has got to work better now that it has a propeller :)
Re: Kitfox 4 Microsoft FSX
I just bought a used IV and I think the flight log has all the specs. He was a meticulous builder and test pilot. If you PM me your email, I can scan and email you some figures. I may have to load my old sim on my computer so I can fly my "new" airplane.

It just flies better with a prop.
Re: Kitfox 4 Microsoft FSX
That is cool, you should model the windshield as the smoke grey. It looks a little odd not to have anything for a windshield, but still cool. I never could get into the Microsoft Flight System. If I spent too much time playing what my wife considers a game at the computer before my wife would start complaining. It would be cool to fly a Kitfox on the simulator.

What software program do you use to build the models?
Re: Kitfox 4 Microsoft FSX
I use X Plane since I have a Mac and FSX is now gone. I mostly use it for instrument training as I am slowly working towards my rating. It comes in handing when you can recruit your wife to teach you everything in your living room.
X Plane comes with a plane editor. I am hoping someone comes out with a 7 but I may have to build one.
Re: Kitfox 4 Microsoft FSX
I'll have to look at XPlane. There is Model 4 & Model 5 simulations available for MS aircraft simulator. If you ever get the 7 post it.
