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.

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.

Hi Desert Dave and PapauPilot,
Thanks for the response to my inquiry.

I should add that I love my 6 and wouldn’t trade it for anything!
