Final Assembly - Wings ON

[henrysamson]

I had some friends over yesterday and we put the wings on. Hope to take it to the airport in a couple of weeks. The only big job left is to paint the flaperons. I have attached some pictures. The three taken outside have the wing extensions on. I built it this way so I can fit it in my garage. The one taken inside the garage has the extensions off and it fits! I could probably put the right wingtip on but it is a bit too close to the garage door for comfort.

Thanks for all the help!

It looks great Henry. Looks ready to fly. Best of luck with first flight and phase 2. I haven't seen many building with wing extensions. Maybe they'll make a come back. Have fun.

P.S. - I'm sure I speak for many. More photos.

Henry , nice job . A little curious about your door on the pax side , appears that a section of the lexan may open ?

It's just a reflection. The doors are the 'standard' Model IV doors with a lexan top, aluminum bottom and a fiberglass strip in between.

Henry , just wondering if anyone has come up with a way to get a window open . It's difficult to get descent pictures from the Kitfox with all the glare and reflection from skylight, windshield , and side windows .
Where do you plan to fly out of when you get flying ? We were just in Jewett last fall visiting friends , probably another trip in the spring . Sadly not with the Kitfox
