LETTER #55 DATE:
August 6, 1999 SUBJECT:
Weight and Balance APPLICABILITY:
Vixen and Voyager Aircraft COMPLIANCE:
Recommended FROM:
SkyStar Aircraft Product Development A
Kitfox™ Vixen customer recently informed us of a possible aft CG
problem encountered during the initial weight and balance calculations
after weighing his aircraft for the first time. The aircraft is a Vixen
(1400 lb gross weight) using a 912 UL Rotax engine and a ground
adjustable, wood GSC prop. While SkyStar has not experienced any aft CG
loading problems on our Demo planes or had other builders call with
similar problems, we would like to gather more information from our
builders. SkyStar would greatly appreciate feed back from our builders
on their weight and balance findings (all engine types). Please fill out
the attached Survey (even if you have not completed a weight and balance
yet) to help us in determining if this is an isolated case or if in fact
there might be others with similar conditions. Product
