Well it has been 21 months in the rebuild. I did weight and balance today. Here are 2 pictures of what it looked like 21 months ago and what it looks like today. Murle Williams 5" wider cabin, Lowell Fitt electric trim tab, Lowell Fitt radiator shutters, Lowell Fitt bush gear. A dorsal fin, and aluminum belly pan added. Damn thing weighs 628# empty. That is about 30 more # than I wanted. Thanks to all you Kitfoxers that advised me, sold me parts and made completion of this project possible. I will start taxie testes next week.
