    Hi Jim,

    I'm currently working on a Mk2 fuse here in the UK. The authorities here want proof of every modification together with drawings, dimensions etc for everything that is changed preferably with evidence it has been done successfully before, their 'get out of jail card' I suppose!!
    This leads me to ask if you have any technical drawings, lists of materials used for your mods as they are exactly what I have planned and you could potentially save me weeks of work!!

    The plane is looking excellent, keep it up.

    Kind regards from over the pond,

    Steve

    I can't believe it's been a few years since I posted or worked on my kitfox project. I got side tracked for a while. In 2019 I purchased a Cessna Skycatcher to help my son build his hours to apply at the airlines as a pilot. Last fall he was hired at Skywest. I decided to sell the Skycatcher to free up time and resources enabling me to continue my Kitfox build. Unless anyone reading this has a suggestion for a cowl that will fit an HKS engine installation on a Kitfox 1, I will start where I left off 3 years ago where I started the mold making process to make a cowling.
