Kitfoxers under construction, I wanted to give you KItfox Mod 3 and older builders my perspective on what I would do if building another 3.
�
The modifications I have are;
1 Aluminum cabin�belly pan
2 Dorsal Fin
3 Home made Lexan turtle deck
4 Homemade 5" wider cabin at the shoulder (similar to Murle Williams setup)
5 Lowell Fitt electric trim tab
6 Lowell Fitt radiator shutter
7 Lexan oberservation doors
8 Kitfox door struts
9 Lowell Fitt bush gear10 front and back door latch with single handle
11 21x12x8 Nanking tires
�
To make it short the only things I would change would be to eliminate the trim tab and radiator shutters. I have had the belly pan, that was pooh poohed,�off twice. The dorsal fin is purely cosmetic, but worth it in my opinion. The newer faster models would benefit from the trim tab, however I find I don't use it on the slow Mod 3. Flaperon trim is sufficient. I also don't use the radiator shutter.�Wouldn't be without�the bush gear, observation doors,�door struts�and wider cabin. As Lynn says, "Maybe it's just me", but that's what I would do.
