Thank you all for the well wishes.
It means a lot to me.
I'm only able to work on it on the weekends but we go at it the whole time.
My grandfather comes down every few hours to see how my father and I are making out.
He helped build the plane and he enjoys seeing me tackle it now.
Its always good to be with and doing something with family.

Part III

The firewall has been removed.
The plane has been throughly washed and cleaned and we began to take apart all the control surfaces.
Some very light surface rust was evident in a few areas. So we began to disassemble and clean those items.

The original engine is a Rotax 532.
With less then 300 hours, its not a bad candidate for a rebuild.
But hasn't run in decade though most likely.
The prop was starting to delaminate when my father sold the plane. At this point it needs to be replaced.

Well it turns out, good luck and fortune has struck me.
I found a gentleman who was sitting on quite the pack of items.
This man had a Kitfox Model II that was never completed.
He ended up selling the kit, but the buyer didn't want the engine and some other items.
So I am now the proud owner of a never been used, was still in the shipping box, Rotax 582.
As well as the Exhaust, Bing Carbs, and all the engine related items that shipped from Denny Kitfox back in the early 90's.
As well...as brand new still in box, GSC propellers.

Having dual ignition over single is worth it to me for the safety factor alone.
As well as not dealing with points ignition.
I'll be setting up and running the oil injection system as well.
