    It's looking likely that I will need a second Spine surgery to correct some disc issue caused from working on planes. Fell off a scaffold during an engine change landed sitting up so compressed my spine. Also have arthritis in my back due to having to twist and bend in unusual ways to gain access to certain locations, like behind instrument panels. I used to be a corporate jet technician.

    I'll beat it but it won't leave enough money to buy a kitfox, If they sold individual kits, maybe but apparently they don't. I was looking into Zenith, but it is kind of ugly imo, but they do sell individual kits. Ie, wing kit.

    Give kitfox a call. They offer partial kits. I had the same concerns but I now have a fuselage only kit on order. I’ll order the other sub kits as time and obviously money allows.

    If I do seperate kits, I am guessing fuselage first.

    I built my SS7 with partial kits 6 years ago. Started with wing kit (not quickbuild), then fuselage, then landing gear, then engine & firewall forward. Of course now with the long kit leadtimes it may be kind of a problem scheduling a series of partial kits.
