Hey All-
All my Model 4 paperwork (Serial # LCU-141) states 1200# gross, but the W & B forms which came in the build manual with the project is based on 1050 gross. Does anybody out there have W & B info for the Model 4 1200?

What is your serial number? That will determine if yours is a 1050 or 1200 MTOW model.
L....December
C....1993
U.....Long Wing, NOT Speedster
141.... the number of the kit shipped that month
The 1993 paperwork clearly stated 1050 pounds, but that was in error. You are no doubt 1,200 pound max gross.
Please see Service Letter #30A on the Kitfox Aircraft website for this and more information.
I downloaded all the letters and bulletins and printed them out, and then verified their impact or lack of impact on my build.

Thanks John. I couldn't figure out how to attach it on the forum like that.

Yeah it has always seemed weird to me that forums only allow certain type files but will then allow a .zip file that could contain anything. This seems like the standard and isn't just limited to this forum.
