    Default Horizontal stabilizer mounting tabs on fuselage

    Hi friends new Teamkitfox. Recently bought a partially built Classic IV-1200. Just noticed that the mounting tabs for the struts of the horizontal stabilizers are missing. Can somebody tell me if these parts are available from Kitfox or I have to make them myself? Thanks

    Call Debra or Heather at the Kitfox mother ship at (208) 337-5111. They should be able to take care of you.
    Also, welcome to the forum!

    They are just square tabs about 0.090" thick and about 1/2" x 1/2" with a 3/16" hole for an AN3 bolt

    Thanks John.
    I see from the manual that they are in an angle, not straight out of fuselage, also there is a hole in the fuselage where they are suppose to go. Do I have to solder a bolt to the tabs so I can attach them to fuselage?

    I'm not able to do it right now but this evening I can measure the tabs to get you specific dimensions and take a picture of their location. The airplane I have in my barn is a Kitfox 4 Speedster but I would think it is the same as yours but maybe someone else knows for sure.
