    One more comment, if I may, I went to the same N.A.P.A. store three different times to get Barricade hose. I spoke to the same guy all three times. All three times he started to pull off rubber fuel hose. Each time I had to tell him what I wanted. Be careful as some of these people who work as store clerks may not have a clue.

    I have a KFModIV1200. I bought it used and the guy who built it had a little extra hose inthe wing. After folding, he kinked it on one side and I had an engine out at 3000' over nice farm fields. Nice landing from the guy ferrying my little ship. no damage. only in a Fox. Fuel starvation caused by excessive hose length.
    Just check the manual.
