A Little Incident

[jiott]

6"-8" long dry grass is slicker than I thought. Thanks for the condolences. I was keeping it quiet for about a week, embarrassment and disappointment in myself. But then I kept getting questions from friends about not flying since I normally fly several times a week. Then this big long box arrived in my driveway from Kitfox with the new flap and the cat was out of the bag-couldn't hide it from my wife anymore. Things got kind of funny and I had to fess up to my family, so I figured why not fess up to my Kitfox family; maybe someone will get some good out of it, I know I sure have.

Am making good progress, have the elevator half ready to recover and have about half the work done on assembling the new flaperon. Starting to think about repainting soon. Am antsy to get back on that horse.

I certainly want to post kudus for Kitfox, Debra and Brandon Peterson, for getting my replacement flaperon shipped in short order. When I ordered it I was told they didn't have any extras in stock and would have to make it, but it would be touch and go whether it could be shipped before they all left for Oshkosh. Well Brandon busted his butt and got it done early and shipped nearly a week before they left for Osh. A public thanks to Kitfox customer service.

Thanks for the reminder Jim... Sounds like you are making good progress too!
Lets all be careful out there...

One more days work and will be ready for paint.

Good for you Jim! I was wondering how you were going.

All went well?
