STI Farm Fox Build Log

[Kitfox Pilot]

Hello all, welcome to Farm Fox build log. My wife came up with the name since we see most name their planes.
I have enjoyed following the build logs on Teamkitfox.
This is our first build and we will have many questions and we hope to be corrected when you see mistakes we make.
Thanks for any and all help along the way.
We have not picked out engine, prop, or electronics yet. We will cover with Oratex is about the only solid decision we have made.
So far the truck has left a lot of parts that are suppose to be a plane someday hopefully and inventory has begun. Harlan and Susan Payne

Awesome! Did they leave you a Cobra as well? I am Considering building one of those. Have a great time! One piece at a time and before you know it those parts will be an airplane.

A cobra would have been nice. He had a couple rans left to deliver after he left me.

Thanks for all the comments.
We, my wife, one son and me finished taking inventory today. Everything is there except for a few back orders and items that are drop shipped.
Ready to build I assume.
I haven't read the eaa pamphlet that came with it but I have a question about logging the build. Is signing and dating the pages in the build manual when completed kosher or what am I suppose to do?

Harlan, Thanks for posting and keeping us up to date. That same truck dropped off my cobra build in 2015. I will be only a couple of months behind you so the info is great. Jim

You will probably pass me on your build, we are coming into our busy season but will try to do a little when we can but winter will be here before you know it.
A couple of cobra pics would be ok too..

I got the rotisseries completed today and got the wings mobile.

Thanks guys that's what I needed to know. I just had no idea what the inspector would expect to see. Thanks

I have looked at your build log link and its really nice. Is that what you will show the inspector or do you us a written log?

I signed and dated each checkoff page in the build manual. I also kept a simple spiral notebook logging each day I worked on it and "roughly" how many hours. Also snapped digital photos of each major project stage and tried to show myself in some of them. The final inspection and application for a repairman's certificate went without a hitch.
