Ok so the other day I was installing the controls in my kitfox 1 and noticed the aileron push rod and flap control push rod are about the same length but one is a a smaller 3/8 inch diameter and one is a 1/2 inch diameter which one goes where if someone can look at theirs for me that would be awesome. the manual says which one is which but neither of my rods have any markings on them anymore. thanks

I have my KFIII open for conditional inspection. I took a picture of the 3 pushrods that pass under the seat. The flap pushrod is under the elevator pushrod. Hope this helps

Ralph,
I like the seat support straps and the flaperon stop you came up with.

it looks to me like the flap push rod is the smaller 3/8ths diameter rod. and the aileron and elevator are the bigger 1/2 inch diameter rods correct. Am I seeing this correctly. thanks for the picture

I forgot to check dimensions earlier, I did that this morning. The flap actuator is 3/8 the aileron and elevator pushrods are 1/2.
The Kitfox was build by my brother in law and certified in 1992. I acquired it this summer.
