    I'm looking at superfil on Aircraft spruce website and they offer several different ones, which one do I need to order for wingtips and general fill work before covering?

    Harlan,

    Your search links all bring up the same basic product. It's a 2 part kit. You should order the quart size kit.

    Flox question. Just finished gluing my steedster tail up and instructions said to add flox to stiffen the glue up. I never found any info to know how much to add so I added a little and all worked well. Is there a mixing ratio for flox when it is suppose to be added to the mix?

    Hi Harlan,

    I think it's just add & mix until you get the consistency that you want.

    Tonight I put in the elevator bearing and sanded down the bushings that fit inside. I dont have my belt sander yet but the drill and dremel worked pretty good. Polished them when I got them to size. Then spent 45 mins looking for the stabilizer mounting parts ,rods, bolts, nuts and washers.
    Does anyone have a good method of how you found parts easier. These parts for mounting were in 3 different boxes.

    I just watched kitfox latest video and John shows a packing list attached to each box with I assume part numbers of the content. Mine didn't have that but I think that would help find parts for sure.

    Harlan, when I got my Kit many years ago, as I did my inventory, I put items in categories(based on where the parts would go on the airplane) on pegboard that I had installed on every wall in my shop. made it easy to go to the , for instance empennage wall and find the necessary parts. Gets frustrating wasting time digging thru boxes for the gizmo. Good luck Bruce N199CL

    Went as far as I could go on the tail till I get some back ordered parts so I switched to the fuselage. Do you notice anything wrong with pic #1? I was so happy when I got it pressed together and then went to drill and rivet the pin holder sleeve and it wasn't on there. Ha ha. I'm sure it wont be the last redo.
    I was glad to get the dreaded right hand control pivot together, I have read about the troubles doing it and it was tough but its in and its a good feeling..
