Hi, New to kit fox and this community. Buying a Model I B 1988. Probably needs the 532 rebuilt or replaced. How can I tell if it has the reinforced wings that were on the later model I? Maybe need a set of plans? any advice appreciated.

Are you talking about a Kitfox model 1? If so, look at the end of the wing spars, they weren't simple tubes, but rather an extrusion with a center stiffener. Here is a picture of one I had. That should raise the gross weight from 850 to 950 lbs. JImChuk
Thank you, now I will know what to look for. James
Also there is a small diamond shape that needs to be welded on the bottom of the wing struts. snoop around a bit there was a service ebullition for that one.
