Crongratulations Dave on the arrival of the big box. Also on your patience.

We will await patiently for happy posts on progress made and enjoyment gained.

Enjoy your build Dave.

P.S., take lots of pictures.

I see a pair of fat-daddy tires in there!

Wholly Cow! I didn't notice those. They are huge.

Great to have another build thread going. Looking forward to more pictures and reports of progress. It is a very enjoyable project and I hope you enjoy the build.

I'll suggest starting a simple log with date, work done and hours. My time keeping has gotten a little sloppy because I just find some free time, wander out to the garage and start working. Having the "last worked" date written down is a real motivator when you skip a day, or two, or ...

Speaking of sloppy. I haven't logged days on end while working on a multi day step in the manual. I log the date that that process finished. Hope I don't get in trouble.

I'll say... those bad boys are HUGE! Are you sure they aren't giant life-preservers for the ocean voyage?

Congratulations on getting your kit!

Thanks guys, appreciate the welcome. Finally I can say I own a Kitfox ... just needs a little work done.

Ross, I'm building at Moama, just across the river from Echuca. I'll pm my phone contact if coming up. I'm only there on weekends.

Ramos/Eddie/John E, yep they're 26" Streaky. I'm currently flying a Eurofox tail dragger on hire and it has the same. That extra cushion on landing is nice to have. Ross also has 26" I think and he'd probably agree.

Carl, I've considered keeping a written log as you suggest and I'll likely do it. Good record of the build.

And yes DesertFox4, photos and film. I'm a keen photographer, just not that great at it.

I've learned a lot from the people on the site. There are some great ideas put out there and I hope I can contribute in kind.

Woohoo .... we're off and running !

Thanks Brandon. Perhaps then I should have ordered the assembled wing kit !!. Really love your work. The box was in great condition considering it changed ships mid stream in Shanghai.
