    Default Panel Dimensions

    Kinda of a funny question but I am at work, I don't have access to my kit, and I am trying to do some figuring. What are the dimensions of the Kitfox 7 panel?

    Esser, I just measured mine and the basic dimensions are 36" wide at the base and 11" tall in the center.

    Let me qualify that by saying that is after trimming to the "desired shape" as the build manual describes, which means removing about 1/2" of material off the top. Also, the upper corners are more like 30-32" wide and 8-9" tall (what I mean by that that it is like a rounded "barn roof" shape, where the base of the roof is 36" wide and the peak is 11", but the roofline bends at about 30-32" width and 8-9" height).

    The lip at the bottom is 1" and I'm pretty sure the material is 0.063" 6061 aluminum.

    Maybe a little more detail than you needed but it can't hurt.
