ss7 build is coming together

[ken nougaret]

I've got fabric on the wings, the wife has the baggage sack sewn, and we're starting the seat cushions. Its starting to feel like a plane now.

looking great!! Where did you rent the model to display the plane?

[ken nougaret]

She's displaying her baggage sack. And i guess you could say she's bought not rented. ken

Almost spilt my cawfee lol

I almost got stuck in my baggage sack trying to connect the com antenna while my wife was laughing at me lol she could have offered to climb down the tail and done it for me but ... Noo... Lol

Looking great!
If that baggage sack is anything like the factory version, your wife has some impressive sewing skills.

[ken nougaret]

Thanks for the kind words. I think it is a lot like the factory version except we added a zipper to the back. I made a fiberglass aft section for light supply or fishing rod tips.

Just curious Ken-I noticed your wing does not yet have the brushed on coat of Poly-Brush. Isn't that supposed to go on before any finish tapes?

you are correct jim. I precoated each rib with 2 coats of polybrush before finish tapes. I think I end up at the same conclusion. ill be filling the rest of the weave next weekend. ken

Hello Ken, I'm Leonardo, I live in Mexico, and got a Kitfox across the border with a lot of hassle, and of course have many many questions, airplane is covered, what was the spacing you did on the rib lacing? and noticed reinforcing tape on the false ribs, is that necessary? (this is my first airplane). Leonardo
