kitfox 3 vs 4

[hannakt]

I Humbly stand corrected.
Chalk it up to age and that it has been to many years since I have spent any time working on it. Sometimes it is nice to be just flat wrong. In this case, I have a IV-1050 instead of a -III. Not a bad way to be wrong.

I also concede on the "under cambered" wing.
I have not worked with other wings and there is a "slight" (1/2" ) of under camber in the wings I have. ( Along with the plastic nose extension ). But it clearly is not deeply under cambered like many of the Avids that I have seen.

Thanks for the corrections,
Sincerely,
Kevin Hanna

P.S. Thanks Av8r-Sed for the corrections.

I have N505KF which was built in 1993. It says it is a Kitfox 3 but has the Kitfox 4 flat bottomed wings and has the shaped (not flat)horizontal stabilizers in the tail feathers. I hear talk of short and tall rudders. I will measure mine tomorrow but meanwhile can somebody give me the dimensions of "Tall and Short'? Do I have a 1050 gross or 1200? A Kitfox 3.5?

I have model IV sn 1563 was delivered in November of 1991 and is a small tailed 1050. The construction manual is a mix of III and IV instructions . Sorry , don't have the measurements handy

My 1992 Model IV-1200 rudder is 53" tall at the hinge.

i had failed to mention that there are some pictures in my album of the mod i did to the tail to install a 1200 rudder that show the difference in vert stab .

John at the factory says I have a 1050. I guess that is the final word. My rudder at the hinge is 47" and 14' at its widest. I assume that is the size of a Kitfox 3 rudder. Any comments? Thanks in advance. BTW I have enjoyed this forum right from the start. Doug
