Thread: Flapperon color

  1. #1

    Default Flapperon color

    Can anyone provide a picture of a KitFox with the flapperons painted a different color than the wing?

    I polished mine. With mostly white wings I think it looks good.

    If your looking to decide on whether it looks good or not, I believe they look great done in contrast to the wing. I Google Image searched and only found two images that way and IMHO they look great that way or the same as the wing. Owners choice.

    There is a yellow Kitfox with black flaperons on the factory website/photo gallery.

    Thanks Jim,
    I found that one. That is what I’m looking for, looks real sharp.
