Hi kitfox flyers, Trying to sort out some Wt & Bal numbers, My info from a 1994 SkyStar paperwork page for a model 4/1200 says the flight CG limits are 10.2" to 16.0 I do not have a actual envelope from a POH so I am assuming these are correct. Can anyone confirm these numbers. Still trying to sort out fueling issues and changing to hose that will tolerate ethanol, Many hoses are very spongy and out gassing fuel vapors, changing all of them, it also looks like I have a diaphragm issue as well because of the bad fuel. The Tanker truck drivers say their O rings only last a couple of weeks(Chevron) but Chevron gets 50 Cents a gal tax credit! it will never not be in fuel here in California. Thanks for your input and help. Bob and Toodie

Bob, The CG limits of 10.2-16.0 inches is correct for all model 4s. Here's a link to the service letter when the aft limit was moved to 16.0 inches.

Blue Bing fuel line is alcohol resistant and used on many Kitfoxes.
