Has anyone had problems with Stewart Systems paints?. Spilled gasoline has
wrinkled and raised the paint on my Kitfox wing.

Looks like Kitfox is perfect plane for landing on a building roof. Any
details on the Red Kitfox on the roof of the Light company building in
Vicksburg, Miss.?

The Viking engine is still on the floor. Will post pics soon as it’s installed in a couple months.
DUMB QUESTION: Does the thicker tube on the horizontal stab strut go forward or aft?

Just asking, if building new wings, why not go to the model 4 profile for better performance? Would just require new ribs and inter-rib pieces, which can be made up on a jig or bought from Kitfox.

I built a Kitfox with a Rotax, and fortunately flew it and survived. My new kitfox has a beautiful Viking engine for little more than half the cost of a 912, and more power. Flying with a Rotax is l ... |

I agree with Guy. I used a little less than 50 / 1 in my 582. You are using just over half that ratio. There is an adjustment on the oil injector to increase the oil flow. There are some engines t ... |
