I looked at a video on the Kifox web page and I saw a few seconds of the factory construction of the kitfox as they were putting one together. I was supprised to see they were mig welding the fuselage together or so it seemed. (It was not Oxy/Ac welded). Do they stress releive the fuselage after welding ? Is the fuselage especially the lower longerons oiled or not ?
If I were to buy a used kitfox requiring some tube replacement can I do that or does it have to be done by an A&P mechanic? How about recovering? Can I do that? I can check with PolyFiber and see if they have envelopes for the kitfox. But if not, can I get envelopes from Kitfox for the older models or do they just cover using a blanket method?
Just a few questions that I would like to have answered before I get involved with a project that will require a lot of that type of repair.
