    Building a Kitfox is not like building a Lego set like I had imagined. There is way more work in reaming holes, trimming to fit, and attention to detail. But so far I feel like I'm off to a good start. Im about 30 hours into the build and feel like I am starting to get my head wrapped around the process.

    Last night I was able to get all the ribs fitted and ready on the vertical stabilizer. I have been debating on varnishing them before or after I hysol them into place. It looks like it can be done either way??

    Perkins,
    Your build is looking good!
    To insure the best bond, you should install them before you varnish them, IMO.
