Quote: | I'm curious about the difference between the KF 4 1050 & 1200.
Can the 1050 be converted to a 1200 and if so what would it in tail. |
Terry, It would be quite a job to convert to a 1200. My opinion is that it would be easier to buy a flying model 4 1200 and do a paper rebuild of the 1050. Then sell the leftover plane/parts to recoup some of the cost. The following I copied from "Kitfox History" on the Kitfox factory web site, http://www.kitfoxaircraft.com/
"The Classic 4 has heavier lift struts and gear legs, as well as beefed up carry through tubes in the fuselage, to allow for a higher gross weight than the earlier Model 4 kits. The height of the vertical stabilizer and rudder was increased by 10 inches, and the rudder depth was increased by 2 inches to allow for improved handling."
