Milwaukee cordless grinder with cutoff wheel. The most used tool I have bought for the kitfox. Use it for cutting aluminum panels to cutting windows to cutting fiberglass, cutting cowl, etc.

Thanks Dustin, I have one of those.
those of us who have cut those before fabric, have had to rectify the problem that will certainly present. The clearances that the manual speaks too are all voided when the fabric layers go down. The result will be that your rudder will need to be adjusted out further to accommodate the added fabric. That results in greater deflection of the rudder than when the horn was cut. Recently, some of us have discussed the remedy here in the forum.
I think he's taking about the horns on the torque tubes, but your advice is timely Eddie. It's good to wait on adjusting the rudder mounting ball ends and trimming the rudder stops until after covering. This is one of the few errors in the manual. I estimate a large majority of builders have to go back and figure out how to make adjustable rudder stops.
I cut mine and my brother did also as per instructions, but after the fact read that some had issues with clearance. With that in mind we kept the fabric tight, and did not have clearance issues.
Crap, Im sorry Paul. Thanks Brian
So, what's the round hole in the center of the console for?
Probably the parking brake? If you're not doing a parking brake, just upholster over it.
Round hole should be the Fuel valve. the parking break is an elongated slit way up toward the front.
