BULLETIN #17
SUBJECT:
Side Rail Engine Mount
TO:
Kitfox™ Model Ill Builders with Rotax 582LC engine
FROM:
Denney Aerocraft Company
Recently
an engineer for Bombardier-Rotax GMBH approved the new style Side Rail Engine
Mount we designed for the Rotax 582LC. He recommended that we emphasize the
following points:
1)
The Side Rail Mount must be used only with the Rotax 582LC engine with
the Type C gearbox with the 3 to 1 ratio. It must not be used on engines
equipped with gearboxes with ratios of 3.47 or 4.0 to 1. To date Denney
Aerocraft has only supplied the type C in 3 to 1 ratio.
2)
One hexagonal screw M8 x 90, Rotax part # 440 366 must be shortened about
5mm or replaced by a screw of 85mm length.
3)
This shorter screw must be used only in the position shown by sketch #1.
4)
All other attachment screws part # 440 366 must remain the original 90mm
length.
6)
Use one of the 8mm x 16mm screws supplied by Denney Aerocraft at this
attachment point. You must use a screw with an active working length inside the
upper aluminum crankcase housing of 16mm.
