Another point for all of us to keep in mind is that each builder's kitfox is not going to be identical - heavier or lighter engines, swept wing or not, more or less power. Some with the battery in the tail.
Our plane has the manual trim tabs on the elevator while others have the electric trim on the horizontal stabilizer.
All of the potential variables may or may not have an effect on handling characteristics and that is what we figure out in steps while doing phase 1 testing for our individual airplanes.
