    We're getting alone fine. Took the first, fairly long cross county to upstate New York two days ago. With that under my belt, I'm seriously considering Sun-n-Fun. Also scouring the charts for fly-out locations in VA, WV and PA. Any and all recommendations will be appreciated.

    Darrell, Don't know if they will have it this year but Sentimental Journey in Lock Haven, Pa. is always fun to check out in early June. Its a multi day, low key,vintage Piper fly in and even though with my Kitfox I am the red headed stepchild , all are welcome and there are usually a few of us Kitfoxes there. Tent camping under the wing is allowed and the Piper museum on the field is a must see. Bruce N199CL

    Bruce - thanks for a great input. I've read about the museum for years and this is a good chance to see it. I found their website and it appears, as of now, to be on. I'm penciling it in. We can be red headed stepchild cousins!

    Default I shouldn't have done this!

    I clear coated the bottom of the fuselage to seal it against exhaust staining and WOW does that make the oratex pop!
    I used 7 oz of clear, makes me want to do the whole plane....but I probably won't.

    Looks good! That should help with the exhaust stains. Unfortunately the stains do come up the side with the prop wash/slip stream. Gear legs get stained also.

    Harlan, just curious why the Oratex system does not put finish tapes over all the places where the fabric contacts underlying structure, tubing, ribs, etc. Polyfiber does do this.
