 |
|
Hey Gang,
If anyone is looking for plans for building a scale Kitfox model IV, here's
some info I just received from Jerry Bates regarding his model. It looks
like it would make for a very nice model of a Kitfox, so I thought it might
be nice to let the group know it is available;
(Letter from Jerry Bates below)
Paul,
Thank you for your interest in my plans. I have had a couple
of flights in Kit Foxe's by owners interested in the model
plans. They certainly sparked by interest in building one for
myself. So little time and so many airplanes.
Anyway, about the plans. This plan is one I purchased from the designer,
Bruce Lund. Bruce was a professional model maker for International Paper and
avid RC model airplane builder/flyer. His dad was IP's corporate pilot.
Bruce is an EAA member and built a Mustang II. Bruce ordered the plans for
the Kit Fox as his next homebuilt but decided to build a model of it first.
So the model plans follow the full size as closely as possible but, of
course, do incorporate some compromises in order to make the model easy to
build by the average modeler. The model uses scale airfoils, offsets,
incidences, etc. Like the full size, it is a wonderful flyer. The prototype
was flown using an O. S. Max .48 four stroke. Several have been built for
electric power as well.
Plans are easy to read and a comprehensive construction manual, including
progress building photos, is included. Plans are $35.00 plus $8.00 postage.
Cowl is a separate order and is $35.00 plus $8.00 postage.
Attached find a couple of photos from the construction manual.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.

So there you have what you need if you are looking for a fun winter model
project...

Thanks for the info.
I plan to make one of those models for a paint scheme test bed. I can't believe how many Kitfox's have dreadful paint jobs. The design has some awkward lines that should be avoided when laying out stripes and graphics. With a big wooden mock up and a couple of yards of peel and stick sign vinyl, you can get it right the first time.
