I did use some of that hard foam, when I installed ribs in the
vertical. Apparently Jimmie got some plans for making the ribs but
that would have required me to order the fiberglas vertical trailing
edge, so I scaled everything down a bit and built my own ribs, using
an aluminum trailing edge that I had formed locally. When I got it,
Jimmie had already installed the intercostals in the horizontal stab.
I've still got some parts left over..... : )

It was some hard foam for the rudder gap seal and some intercostals
and stuff for an airfoil tail all labeled "Serries 5". Jimmie was
wanting to make the airfoil tail and was missing some parts so I
sent them to him.
My kit is a Classic four but I think the old Skystary people just
put all the extra stuff they had left over on the shelves in the
crate. I spent a lot of time on the phone with skystar trying to
convince them I did't have an engine cradle or any fuel system
parts at all for a classic four and trying to figure out what a lot
of the other stuff in the crate was.
By the way if anyone is wondering, these are not the current kitfox
factory people.
