New to me project

[Kurt.A]

Well I joined the Kitfox world over the weekend! I bought a fixer upper project to get my hands dirty over the winter. Will post some pics soon but I am having connection issues with my phone to computer at the moment. I bought a Model II with Rotax 912 80 hp 1100 gross. It has had a nose over and will need considerable help. New prop, Eng/Re-drive needs to be looked at, new tail feathers, and alchohol resistant fuel tanks are the major points. Very clean plane other than the accident damage. Going to take some time but nothing I can't handle. Wondering if I should be looking at putting on Model 4 empennage in the process???? Anybody done this mod and how did it turn out???? Got absolutely amazing documentation with the package. 2 large cardboard boxes of manuals, logs, old Sky Star Times, Construction manuals, Rotax manuals, Build pictures, Kitfox Bulletins, etc.

That's a nice looking bird. Couldnt find any follow on video's. Anyone have knowledge on how it flew?

if the vert fin and rudder are damaged , I would definitely put a model 4 1200 rudder and vert fin back on . that was my project last winter . most noticeable doing slips and take off and landing with xwinds. while I had the plane out of service for the fin and rudder I also installed elevator trim . I'm really glad that I took the time to do the trim , made a much easier plane to fly .

Nice, where did you pick her up Kurt? Is that Mt. Robson?

I got the plane out of Montana. Original build was in Wyoming. Yes that is Mt. Robson, beautiful rare day when you can see the top. A/C has had a nose over at speed so going to take a bit of work to get her back in the air.
