Don't forget the mixing tips. they are not included with the barrel.

I thought I could get by without the gun, but trying to push the two plungers thru the mixing tip with my thumb proved almost impossible.

What I really liked was the fact that when you stopped pulling the trigger, the flow of hysol stopped as well. Put the cap back on and only waist whats in the mixing tip.

Its been a while since I posted so thought I'd get off my butt and contribute.
The LH wing is complete except for instal of the LLE option and fuel tank, and I've started the RH wing. Rudder cables have been swaged for both seat positions (I have dual controls in this) and I'll also be installing turnbuckles. I've made up two access panels for the rear fuselage below the horizontal stab. and these will be located directly adjacent to where the rudder cable turnbuckles will be and will also allow good access to inspect the lower bolt and hardware holding the horizontal stab. trim actuator. All nyloc nuts have been swapped out for castellated nuts on all rotating joints in control systems. I bought Hoerner wing tips for this beast so I've fitted the nav light standoffs and am making my own landing light/wig-wag light instal. So far so good. Some in-process photos are attached. Ignore the ugliness of the wingtip standoff fibreglassing - didn't have a photo of it sanded down ...!

Looking great David. Funny how much room there seems to be under the center console at that stage. It fills up fast. I put the engine mount bolt in yesterday and was quite irritated by the end of it.

Good progress and nice workmanship David. Like the access panel location.
Am I the only one that thinks an uncovered Kitfox wing is a thing of beauty?

Not at all Steve. I considered hanging mine from my living room ceiling as Art Deco. It looked so good on the garage ceiling.

Yes, I've seen some photos of other projects in the console area and it looks real crowded .... won't be long before I'm into running systems through there.

A thing of beauty they are indeed Steve. Don't mind building them either !.
