I'm finding out that Kitfox must have a back room with all kinds of stuff that they don't put in the catalog.

I agree on that "back room" comment; hope the new online catalog fixes that.
If I put in an autopilot it will be Dynon. I already made a mockup of their servo and made a bracket for the roll axis location (back when I was idled for some reason pre-covering).
Anyone have a photo of the Kitfox pitch servo bracket installation?

Actually, having a "back room" is a good thing......I have come to understand the reason there is a backroom @ Kitfox is because John & Debra are constantly thinking up improvements and bringing forth new ideas that may eventually become a catalog item plus they might have a part here or there, too few to catalog, that could be useful to someone but not used in the current plane.

I took last week off and was able to finish wiring 340KF. Only thing left is the exterior lighting.
The firewall is assembled and ready for sealant.
I do believe I am almost ready to cover the fuselage. I want to install the razorback before though. I wrote to Kitfox and Debra said they used to offer the razorback kit but now weld them on. Shouldn't be too difficult to fabricate one.
Getting the fuel system under the console was challenging but it is all there. I will need to make some lines to run from the duplex valve to the tanks.
I added a few pics to my photo album

Congratulations on getting that far Jeff! It starts to look like a plane now!
Enjoying following your build too.
Are they 4 batteries on the floor? Must be putting a huge engine in that thing!
cheers

I am going with an IO-340 with fuel injection and electronic ignition from flyefii.com. Will be building the engine up in the near future.

Got my AvWeld gear today. Looks pretty nice! Powder coated black.
I think I have my colors picked out. With the engine I am using I thought it would look cool painted up like a 1970 Boss 302 Mustang. Going with orange with black trim.
Sorry about the pic, all I had was an orange highlighter. The color will be closer to Hemi or Hugger orange.
