This week I’ve managed to get a new prop. I was looking at the WW 75” but my mate with a highlander had this new 76inch Kiev I couldn’t refuse!! Very happy with it so far. Cannot wait to fly behind it. DCB06EE5-9ECF-45DB-BBDE-23036D486D56.jpg

Received some more goodies from the kitfox team. I am doing away with the old plastic header tank and have installed the new aluminium series 7 tank. I have also received fuel return kit and a smoke system Due to how awesome these planes are I won’t receive my LLE, wing tips ect till late November. 2C047AF4-1A03-4F2D-B3A9-135FE1205D32.jpg

Looks like some serious restoration happening with your build. Only way to do it. The LLE and welded al. alloy header tank are good additions. Also, recommend you stiffen the trailing edge of the wing, if not already done, so when you shrink the fabric you don't get any bowing. That shrinkage of around 10% for 350F (I used poly fibre) caused an issue for me in couple of areas. Had to redo.
