Hi,
I am new here and also a new owner of a kit fox six.
The plane is not complete yet but.
But while I finish it up, I’m wondering if there are any modifications / updates that I can do to it to make it better?
Thanks for suggestions,
Jeff

The larger elevator is a useful upgrade. Gives more authority on landing flairs.
Congrats on acquiring a model six. The six is a great version and not that many were produced.
Also, welcome to TeamKitfox.com. I’m sure some Six owners will have input on some useful upgrades for you.

Hello,
Does anybody have info on the s7 fwf modification process for a series 6?
Basically, I would like to start this build completion process with the best results in mind for the end product.
Does the FWF extension of the s7 increase cargo load capacity?
Besides the extra space for installation of an engine and its components, what are the other additional benefits of doing this?
Thanks,
Jeff
Call the Kitfox factory and they can give you a list AND sell you all the parts you would need including the engine mounts, cowling, etc, etc, etc.
As for benefits see my post at the beginning of this thread.

Hi,
Thanks for those that have replied to my inquiry about the differences between the 6 and 7SS.
Can anybody else add to what are the specific details about the differences of the 6 and 7 models.
I would really like to start working on some of these upgrades and mods.
Thanks again for your help,
Jeff
Here is a link to the Kitfox model history. This might answer a lot of your questions.

The biggest difference I see is the engine position. The 7 comes out further from the firewall. Translation, you get more payload carrying ability in the cargo bay. W&B wise I get 85-90 pounds in my Series 6 and I believe Series 7 owners can carry more weight and stay in CG. As for how much I don’t have a number. Speed is the same as is performance based on my flying around with Desertfox4 and his Series 7.
