Kitfox v compared to the S7?

[jmodguy]

I have a KF V project that I purchased couple months back and I did a lot of checking to see if this airframe was different from what is currently available. From everything that I have read the V, 6, and 7 are pretty much the same. Most of the upgrades that are available on the 7 can be retrofitted to the V.
Esser is correct that some V models have a lighter GW due to the spar wall thickness. The 1400 lb GW spar is .058" and the 1550 spar is .065".
Mine has the stab trim vs the elevator trim tab. From what I have read this trim can be a bit touchy.
The V cannot be swapped from TD to tricycle like the 6 and 7. I can't imagine why anyone would want to do that but hey... whatever floats your boat!

Thanks for all the input, I actually talked to a V owner at length today and learned a lot.
