I sold my Model III last fall and just found out it crashed in May. Here is the NTSB preliminary report.

Bummer! Preflight, preflight, preflight for sure. Not to be to picky, but doesn't a Kitfox have 5 flaperon ribs?? I know an Avid speed wing or Aerobat has only 4 hinges (9' long flaperon) but thought all Kitfoxes had 5 on each wing. JImChuk
There was a service bulletin, but I always inspected them on my preflight. I had, as I recall, nearly 900 logged in that Kitfox and the plane was pushing 1200 hours when I sold it.
Hello,
I bought N73BH and will be restoring it, I've started a vlog on YouTube and will be logging it there. Yes I've been watching Trent Palmer too much....
I plan to be releasing videos about once a week, I didn't get to work on the plane in this video but I just re-fiberglassed the cowling and will post a new video on that soon.
I bought a KITFOX!!!! #BlameTrentPalmer Vlog 002
BTW all FIVE flaperon hangers broke, as you can see in the video it's completely detached.
Well, there you are Pete. Now you know a little more about 73BH.
Nile,
That is very cool! Good luck with your Kitfox restoration!
This is good info guys!
Thanks
Alex
