    Default I need Help!!

    I ask for help, friends! I live in Russia and at us isn't present KF4 only 2 KF2 and KF7, and it to Russia to deliver very expensive, but I was lucky to buy a fuselage in Portugal, wings and a control system in America, but there was a problem - a fuselage probably from KF 3 or early KF4, and a control system from KF4. You couldn't prompt length of these pipes in the photo?

    I think he wants someone with a KF4 fuselage to measure the three tubs that make up the triangle that he has circled

    Please give some more information what you want. I would be glad to measure my Kitfox 4 project, but I don't know what you need. Thanks, Jim Chuk

    Previot Tovarisch: Bottom tube (longeron) length is 10.5 inches, left tube is 10.5 inches X 3/8 inch diameter, right tube is 5.75 inches long. All measurements are to centers of tube intersections.

    10.5 inches is 26.67 cm, which I would round off as 26.5 cm

    5.5 inches is 13.97 cm, 14 cm

    Europe/Asia is generations ahead of us using the metric system. I was a science teacher 40 years ago and tried to teach the metric system.... finally gave up 30 years ago. I have several meter sticks and 13 m tape measures. I really like working with metrics....

    This is not meant as a criticism of anyone.

    Believe it or not I was really disappointed when I found out the Kitfox wasn't Metric. Ah well. Growing up in Canada you get a really good handle on both.

    But a 2X4 will always be a 2X4....even though dressed it's 1.5"X3.5"

    Growing up in the deep South, USA, I forget about our friendliest neighbor, Canada. Like the church of Galileo's day, I often think the sun revolves around us.

    Sorry for the digression and promise not to do it again.
