The Wait is Over

Steve,

I've been enjoying your build, black frame, black cargo area, and a yellow paint job. I guess your going to have one Killer Bumble Bee. I really do like the Laker Leading Edge, it is looking exceptional.

Thanks Paul. It's been an enjoyable process.

I agree with Paul, as someone who has a kit on the way I really appreciate you sharing your build. The pictures and information is priceless to someone like me. Thanks.

Speaking for someone who has a kit on the way, I will agree with JBeck. The pictures and posts are an invaluable source of information. JBeck, I noticed your in Monument, CO. I have an Army EOD buddy who opened a distillery and bar in your neck of the woods. Once I get the Kitfox built, I plan on being a labeled a Moonshine Runner. But back on point, I appreciate the posts Paul.

MOFlyer, mayber we should run over to Arizona help Steve finish the Killer Bumble Bee, and then we could run some Moonshine. Sounds like fun.

I sill have You Tube running it's playing all of the The Blues Brothers - Rubber Biscuit.

Another 3 day weekend marathon of building. Fabric going on. This is one of my favorite parts of building a Kitfox. Thanks to Phil and Bill again for the assistance and Phil for a great shop to build in. Next weekend, a little more gluing, shrinking fabric, Poly brushing, tapes galore. I better start practicing my rib stitching knot.

Steve,

As always doing an exceptional job!

What is the purpose of the scalloping exactly? is this just an aesthetic mod, or does this change the performance somehow?

[DesertFox4]

Mark, the scollops make a nice transition for the fabric and that's the way it was done years ago on some aircraft.
