flaparon end caps

[vixenrookie]

the foam end caps that come with the kit on the flaps seems a little cheesy, if you bump them up agianst anything hard they dent, what have other folks used in the place of these foam ends? where can i get replacement that are little more durable? in fact where can i just get the replacement foam ones? can the foam be fiber glass over without chemically melting them? any input would be greatly appreciated.

I believe Kitfox sells plastic endcaps, look in the catalog.

Yes we do.. for both the Symetrical and Asymetrical.

Symetrical and Asymetrical, without actually comparing the 2 side by side . what is best way to tell what flap i have? they both look the same?

Symmetrical will be equal curve on both sides. Like a tear drop. Asymmetrical will have one side(the bottom) that is relatively flat(like the wing).

We used balsa wood with a thin coat of epoxy over it. Worked out very nicely.
