Re: What Have You Done Today To Your Kitfox?
I don't know why prepping and varnishing the wood is my least favorite part of the build so far. It's not difficult, but it eats up so much time waiting. Anyway, today I finished the second coat of varnish on the v-stab ribs... hopefully I won't need to do a third and I can bond them into the tail tomorrow.

Big day today. We move out of the 20 x 20 garage and into the hangar. Hopefully it's flying in about a month.

Weight and balance! Weighed in at 824#. CG limits look good. Next: Schedule DAR, few odds/ends, fuel test, brake break in.
