Hi Guys,
It's a MkIII that I’ve hopped a bit! The kit came to me in very basic form, welded fuselage and wing kit, that’s about it. The rest I have had to make myself including all the moulds for the fairings and cowls which I flopped off a friends Kitfox II parts. The windscreen is slanted at a shallower angle which I think looks good and my mate reckons he picked up 5 knots (we'll see). All the panels doors turtle decks etc are all fiber glass skins, there are no metal skins/panels at all except for the floor panels.
Some extra stuff I did:
· Aluminum clad each side of wooden Aileron hanger ribs
· All fiber glass panels, skins, and cockpit, instrument panel
· My own molded fiber glass wing tips (didn’t like the droopy type.)
· Galvanized tin fire wall, my own.
· Rotec R2800 installation
· 13 gallon wing tanks x 2, again my own glass work.
· Two piece fiber glass wheel pants
· Static port wing mounted with Pitot tube
Stuff intend to do:
· Round off vertical and horizontal stab and elevator to more 1930'-40's look
· Lengthen undercarriage to clear 76" prop. (Stinson look)
· Fair undercarriage with fat airfoils (Fiber glass)
· Bull nose spinner (Radial Cessna 190 shape)
· Oval shaped Sky Lights
· Fair main wing struts with fiber glass airfoils
· Side and top grills / vents in boot cowl.
