STI Farm Fox Build Log

[Redline]

Looks great Harlan! That's the same color scheme we ordered for ours. Nice to see it in pictures to know how it's going to look.

Geek I put in a quick attach passenger stick in cause it much easier to get in and out for those who haven't practiced getting in a kitfox.

Redline I didn't care much for the seat color when I opened it in the box but I think it looks good in the plane.

Trying my first knifeless vinyl wrap install. So far, I like the ease of installation. Still looking for the right green but getting closer.

What is knifeless vinyl?

[Kitfox Pilot]

Alex you lay down a tape with thread in it in a pattern, cover it with vinyl and pull the strings to cut, discard anything outside the string cuts and you're done. Works great. Youtube is full of good examples.

I received more vinyl and pin striping in the mail this week and we took time to apply half the plane. Susan approves so I guess this is what it will be...

[Redline]

Looks really good Harlan! I think I might do this for one of the colors on our build. Had never heard of knifeless vinyl tape and it looks trick.

Looks great Harlan! You are doing a great job and it shows. I can only hope mine looks as nice!

It is easy Jason. One thing I would do if I hadn't painted yet is get sample wraps and match paint to it because nothing matches my green paint as good as I like but I could have matched there green if I had known but I didn't know at the time.

Gary from what I've seen on your build it will be better than mine but I sure thank you for the compliment!
