Re: Recovered Kitfox 4 wings
looks great Jim... you're chemicals should arrive today
Re: Recovered Kitfox 4 wings
I like the whole thing. The color scheme, the reasons for the color scheme and especially showing the 16 year old the process. We need to grab the young ones when those opportunities come.
Re: Recovered Kitfox 4 wings
Good going Jim. I like the colors.

Re: Recovered Kitfox 4 wings
Thanks guys, and thanks Pete for your help getting it loaded back then. I still have to put pin stripeing on, 1/8" wide red color over the yellow stripe. That's the way the Kitfox 1 was. Flew it again a bit last evening. Fun plane. It sure does climb. JimChuk
Re: Recovered Kitfox 4 wings
Hey avidflyer, how were your pinstripes done. It really accents things nicely. Not enough people do it in my opinion probably because it's laborious?

Re: Recovered Kitfox 4 wings
I only did the pin stripes on the one wing, to match the rest of the plane. It was pretty easy, bought matching stripes on ebay. The stripes are about 1/8" in from the edge of the yellow, and being that close it's easy to see if you are maintaining the right distance. Pull about 2 or 3 feet out, and lower it down while guideing it with the other hand. I had the wing in my wing holders when I did it, and they allow me to rotate the wing. Jim Chuk
PS painted another set of wings today, these are for my Avid Flyer. Tim, your Poly Brush is no longer in the cans.... Thanks! Still have to do Pontiac Red scallops on the front of the wings for trim..
