    Default Indroductions & model 3 flaperon rigging

    Hi all!

    As I have recently bought a project kitfox 3 with couple friends I've been quietly searhing for information on this forum.

    We are a group of 4 pilots and wannabe builders from Finland. We just bought a model 3 with 912 and skis and aerocet 1100 float couple a weeks ago. We are eagerly working on it and trying to restore it to flying condition in wheel config first after a really long period of inactivity.

    We are now in process of rigging controls. We've been scratching our head with building manual (propably lost a page or two..) we have. Page CF-N-1 refers to figures F-C-5 & F-C-7 which we are unable to find. Any help?

    Thanks,

    Kalle

    A Kitfox on floats in Finland will be like going to heaven with the literally thousands of lakes and rivers in that country. I am also a Finn and would get a float plane as soon as possible if I lived there.
    Good luck on your refurbishing.

    KalleV, I fly a Kitfox III and although I was not the builder, I have the manuals stored away in my hangar. I should be able to get to them in about 3 weeks time, as our country is currently in lockdown. (Rumor has it that it may be extended).

    I shall keep a lookout for those pages and keep you posted.
