Shot of the Trailer. Very well built and thought out.
The drive home (2 hours) was a little nerve wrecking, high winds meant I had to keep my speed down to 90 KM/h, and the darn passenger door kept popping open. We drained the tanks completely, and built the transport bars for the wings, Other than some tense moments on the drive my Kitfox arrived home safe and sound.
Floors all cleaned up, Will need to clean up some wiring and fuel lines. Battery is shot and WAY to small, will order a the 680. and am going to replace the battery cables. And the old 121.5 ELT does in fact work, previous owner thought it was shot, new battery and its up and running.
Header tank needs to come out at some point to have a bung welded in for a low fuel warning light/buzzer
Spent today moving the fuel shut off valve from below the throttle to the foot well, I'm 6'4" and found the factory location impossible with my long legs, It's still easily reachable but now no longer jammed into my knee.
The yellowish tinge you see on the fuel line is some clear tubing to protect the fuel line from rubbing. I also redid some of the fuel lines to run perfectly straight (Did I mention I have major OCD?)
Due to my size (Tall not fat) I'm going to order the bubble doors in Medium Tint, I'm trying to source some 0.093 Tinted Polycarbonate here in Canada for the windshield. The Acrylic windshield is over $1100.00 Canadian with shipping and handling, and I've read too many horror stories of people cracking there new acrylic windshield. Bubbles doors I'll just have to swallow the cost and exchange rate ($1783 Canadian for the 2 doors, install kit and shipping, plus there will be duty on top of that)
Anyone have a source for Tinted Lexan in Canada ? Found a few places online in the USA but shipping is always $300+ for $100 sheet.
