Welcome to the club.
EsserFoxEsser looking at you wing spars what did you use as a finish on them? They have a green color.
Hi Paul,
That's the poly fibre epoxy primer in green instead of white. I prefer that as it is easier to see coverage.
Last weekend we got a bunch of the fuel injection stuff on the aircraft and the ext alt. I have company from out of town here this weekend so not an eventful week for the plane.

Oh and I yes, I am a very lucky man. My wife just wants to know when I'm going to build her a 200kt plus machine. Lots of fun to share a hobby with her.
Well I was fixing my well this weekend so the Kitfox got some sunshine in the driveway but that was about it. I finally got my inspection booked for May 15th so I will be covering shortly after that.
We also got a bunch of goodies in the mail so I will be finishing the doors and the ext. baggage area. I kinda want to finish the cowl before I paint too so that I can do it all in one shot.

Worked on the extended baggage today which I made out of birch ply. Added over 40" of depth.
My friend is going to sew me and envelope to stop anything from falling down the sides. I am going to add two zippers to the rear of the baggage sack that kitfox sells so I can access it. I also varnished the baggage floor as well.
My main goal was to fit our skis in and it is only for light weight stuff. I think I am going to put a couple stiffeners between the supports immediately behind the existing baggage area as it has no diagonal cross brace like further aft does. I pushed down almost 80lbs with no concern however peace of mind goes along way.

Esser,
Wow! That's some serious baggage room!!!
Yeah it is quite large. I think once I figure out my max aft c of g I will put a fish scale on the handle at the rear to figure out the max weight so I can easily calculate for awkward shaped items.
Good news is that I passed my precover inspection finally. Just need to permanently attach my LLE and things like that and will be covering by the end of the month.
My sister is visiting this weekend with my new nephew so there won't be any work on the plane.
