I'm looking at superfil on Aircraft spruce website and they offer several different ones, which one do I need to order for wingtips and general fill work before covering?

Harlan,
Your search links all bring up the same basic product. It's a 2 part kit. You should order the quart size kit.
Thanks John.
Flox question. Just finished gluing my steedster tail up and instructions said to add flox to stiffen the glue up. I never found any info to know how much to add so I added a little and all worked well. Is there a mixing ratio for flox when it is suppose to be added to the mix?
Hi Harlan,
I think it's just add & mix until you get the consistency that you want.
Yep, I agree.
Tonight I put in the elevator bearing and sanded down the bushings that fit inside. I dont have my belt sander yet but the drill and dremel worked pretty good. Polished them when I got them to size. Then spent 45 mins looking for the stabilizer mounting parts ,rods, bolts, nuts and washers.
Does anyone have a good method of how you found parts easier. These parts for mounting were in 3 different boxes.
I just watched kitfox latest video and John shows a packing list attached to each box with I assume part numbers of the content. Mine didn't have that but I think that would help find parts for sure.
Harlan, when I got my Kit many years ago, as I did my inventory, I put items in categories(based on where the parts would go on the airplane) on pegboard that I had installed on every wall in my shop. made it easy to go to the , for instance empennage wall and find the necessary parts. Gets frustrating wasting time digging thru boxes for the gizmo. Good luck Bruce N199CL
Thanks Bruce that was a good plan.
Went as far as I could go on the tail till I get some back ordered parts so I switched to the fuselage. Do you notice anything wrong with pic #1? I was so happy when I got it pressed together and then went to drill and rivet the pin holder sleeve and it wasn't on there. Ha ha. I'm sure it wont be the last redo.
I was glad to get the dreaded right hand control pivot together, I have read about the troubles doing it and it was tough but its in and its a good feeling..
