    I think I can see enough of the door to say it's not a Kitfox 1. (Kitfox 1 is only 36" wide as well at top of seat) (2, 3, and 4 are 39 1/2" wide there) So with the ribs acting as hangars for the flaperons, it must be a 2 or 3. If it's a Kitfox 2, the distance on the front lift strut, bolt to bolt will be about 98". The Kitfox 3 will measure something like 10" longer. I don't have that dimension handy, but it's much longer than the Kitfox 2. Hope this helps. JImChuk

    PS, looking at the pics again, and the angel of the lift struts, I would say a model 3, but the measurement I gave should tell the tale.

    In the second picture, I believe I'm seeing the Kitfox 1 to 3 flaperon mixer assembly. And in the third and also last picture, I believe I'm seeing the long wood ribs for flaperon attachment that are not found on a Kitfox 4 but are on the earlier models. JImChuk

    Definitely not a model 4. The tubing in the baggage area is wrong for a 4, it has undercambered wings, the mixer is not the same as a model 4 mixer. It is model 3 or older for sure.
