The tail

I basically just started at the beginning of the manual.

The first thing to take care of was the horizontal stabilizer and elevator.

Step one was reaming and installing the elevator hinge bushings which for some reason I do not have photos.  Then I had to measure and mark out positions for the ribs and then Hysol them in place.

That is one of my reamers which had to be grinded to fit in a socket so that I was able

to turn it with a wrench.

First things first.  Inventory was the first order of business.  Of course

doing inventory is much easier and quicker with a helper.

Thanks Buffy.

 

Intro-pickup

Hi all, I started this blog so that I can share with people the progress of my aircraft build.  I am starting to build a Kitfox experimental airplane.  In this post I will show how my wife and I flew out to the Kitfox factory in Homedale Idaho, rented a box truck, picked up the aircraft and then drove home to Monument Colorado.

 All packed up and ready to go!!!

 

Home safe and sound and ready to be assembled.
