    Default Serial Number

    Hi Guy's
    This is my first post here so hello to everyone. I am currently dealing on a Kitfox model 1 fuselage and parts. The current owner says that he has not noticed a s/n on the fuselage anywhere. Where should it be located? I want to make sure that the fuselage is genuine Kitfox as well as being lien free.
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Kurt

    first , welcome aboard . the sn location will very with models even with the same model from year to year . mine is a model IV and I've never been able to locate the sn . on the model IV it's supposed to be either on the tab above the bag bin where the center seat belt straps attach or on a triangle piece of metal at the front of the horizon stab , i think the front , been awhile . I'm not sure if they put on the sn before they powder coat , but mine was powder coated and painted when I acquired the kit so I've never scrapped it off to check . hasn't been a problem as the dar didn't need to see it for the a/w inspection .

    The serial number on my model I is on the left side (port) of the turtle deck.

    Thanks for the help guy's.
    So far no luck in finding the S/N. Any other places we should be looking? The frame has been sandblasted and repainted. Was the serial number originally stamped or etched?

    I'm setting here looking at the two pics. Does anyone else see or not see them? Am I really here? Am I just a figure of my mind, a pour soul lost in space drifting farther and farther from you all????

    Edit: I just double checked them on my iPhone and computer. I still see two pics on both.
