John, Perhaps in the future but I am trying everyday to go and drive down a long(1/4 mile) beach parking lot  WITH MY FEET  they still are on fire with pins and needles  but it is getting a little easier each day ,. so perhaps the hand controls will be unnecessary! I HOPE  Thanks    Chris

Can't say what there differences are, if any. Can you ask TNK? 

I'll bundle and send in a coupla days. Altho I'm trying to sell FF, doubt if any action this late in year. My good wife has had three kinds of cancer, and recently four TIAs...causing me to be close by almost all the time, and not away. Been flying since solo '41, an very depressed at no longer so, bu we've been marrie more than 60 years, so I won't give up on her.



Glad you are mending, even if it's slow going.

Bob, THANK YOU THANK YOU, Your builders book and builders manual arrived today WoW !! I built a Firestar KXP  and my builders manual is a mess !! How did you keep it so neat and clean? I went through it an the questions I had about the construction of the wing were answered . It only has 5 ribs but the wing span is only 22 ft the main reason I built the KXP was it had seven ribs in each wing , but the wing span was apx 27 ft which makes the distance between the ribs about the same apx. 19 inches  avery strong little wing, So thank you again and after I look at them some more I shall return them to you Chris
