    Grover, that looks great! And nice that you took the time to thank people like Lowell (who I have never had the pleasure of meeting) who make the build process so 'doable' and enjoyable - this site should be/is one of the greatest selling points for Kitfox Aircraft after the machine itself!

    Looking forward to your reports of the final stages and flyoff Grover!

    cheers

    I really like the paint Scheme. Best of luck with the remainder of the project.

    Thanks for the compliments!

    Lou, there was no way I was going to paint mine to match 6065G! She now has found a great owner again, and I can't wait to see photos and videos of you taking her skyward. Bob Forsyth will be smiling down looking at us!! (Oh how I miss that guy....46 years of great friendship....)

    Dave,
    I believe they are called the Kitfox Speedster tips. I will be slightly modifying the fiberglass in the area of where the nav/strobe lights attach next week, so I can attach a photo of that work.

    I have 38 machine screws in each wing tip, so they will be detachable. Hopefully if I ever go through the sound barrier, they stay on! LOL!

    Cheers, Grover

    Dave,
    Here is a photo of my wing tips... I am still not happy with them... some more detail work needs to be done before I get to the final yellow color!

    Cheers,

    Your plane looks very nice.
    Wiring is always fun, at least for me. Remember, wiring is like life. Solid connections make all the difference.
