Hi Guys,

I'm new to posting to the forum - been reading for a while.

So I bought a Kitfox IV earlier this year, been flying her for a while now and then last week had a surprise hangar inspection by the local Aviation Association (RAASA) and they flagged a few items on my plane that needed to be sorted out.

One of them was a data plate to be fitted to the tail with make, model, serial number, registration and MTOW on it.

So here is my question - what is the physical difference between a model 4 1050 and model 4 1200 and how do you tell them apart?

I went through the original build logs last night and in the CG section it is marked as 1050 but then at the very back of the CG section is a Kitfox Bulletin #30 saying that the CG may be moved aft to a maximum of 16"and that it has come to their attention that many model 4 build documents left the factory incorrectly marked as 1050lbs instead of 1200lbs.

So now I have no idea which one my model IV is... Obviously the 1200 would be a bonus if it is that cause I have been flying it as 1050 for now.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
