Hi all,

I only have a small garage available to build my potential kitfox in. I have access to a larger space to do final assembly, but if possible I'd like to do a lot of the individual part build work at home in my garage. The larger space is a good 15-20 minute drive out. So here's my question to you all:

1. What are actual lengths of both the individual STi wings and the fuselage without the firewall forward kit and motor mounted?

Baed on the website at https://kitfoxaircraft.com/aircraft-kits/, the wingspan is 32ft and the cabin width is 43in, so per wing that would come out to about 14ft2in.

Final length is listed as 19ft8in, but it's hard to find numbers for the rudder and rotax motor + mount lengths.

Could anyone run a tape measure past their frame and wing and post the numbers here?

2. If I order the STi kit with the factory pre-rig option, would I be able to build a significant portion of the fuselage and wings separately, without needing to have them attached to each other? The manuals at https://kitfoxaircraft.com/builders-manual/ make it look like that's possible, but I'd like to hear from people who've ordered this kit how often they had to attach & remove the wings as part of the build process.

Thanks,
Dennis
