Dave sez:
Quote: | How a bout a survey who is stitched and who is not?
I only stating that a vast majority of Kitfoxs are not stitched.
No BS from me , just the facts...

I'm trying to figure out how to reconcile these statements. None of
us have any idea if the majority of Kitfoxes are rib-stitched or not.
You don't either or you wouldn't be proposing a survey. Such a
survey would have to encompass more than just this list because we
probably constitute a small subset of all Kitfox builders and
operators.
I'm pretty confident that very few 'fox builders or flyers have
conducted any studies at all on the adhesive characteristics of
Poly-tac, so all they have to offer is anecdotal evidence along the
lines of, "Well, I have eleventy-seven hours on mine and they are
fine." Poly-Fiber, on the other hand, know very well how the product
behaves and they have told us how to use it, yet you dismiss their
recommendation out of hand. Are you afraid this is just a marketing
ploy to sell more stitching lace?
If Kitfox, LLC recommends installing a widget in a certain way and I
decide that I don't think it is necessary, I may do it differently
but I sure wouldn't be trying to talk others into my deviation from
the instructions. Would I have some liability if another builder
follows my advice (which worked fine for me) and suffers damage as a
result? Maybe, but hey, I'm not a lawyer nor do I play one on
television...
I'm trying to figure out what your motivation is for dissuading other
potential stitchers. Are you offended by airplanes that are stitched
when you walk past them on the ramp?
