    Default Just bought a Kitfox IV

    So yesterday I bought this Kitfox IV

    Unfortunately I discovered that transporting a Kitfox on a 14,000 pound capacity utility trailer isn't a good idea.

    So today instead of flying my new to me Kitfox, I started in on repairing by opening up that bay and making a tube straightener.

    I was able to get the tubes coerced back into alignment. Surprisingly they came out very straight and are not kinked. A spot on each longeron was a bit oval instead of round so had to make a die to squeeze the oval out of it. All in all it came out very good and I don't think it will cause any issues. I will have wait a few days for the Poly-Fiber kit to come so I can recover it.
