So my flaperons got pretty much destroyed in a little accident. Kitfox doesn’t make these anymore. Has anyone ever remade a kf3 flaperon?

I know a few others have done it, a new guy is making Avid parts now, and I think he has started to make flaperons as well. They should fit the early Kitfoxes also. Here is his website: www.avidkitplanes.com (He has a nice picture of the Mark 4 on his website :-) (mine) JImChuk

Just curious, why not put a later model flaperon on the model 3? Wouldn't that be an upgrade improvement?

I don't know what the differences are or if they would fit.

Well, you for sure couldn't change just one, and I don't think the hanger/hinges bolt locations are the same. JImChuk
