    Oh No

    All will be thoroughly vetted

    Boy is my face red!

    For some reason I was thinking it had been imported to the US.

    I'll go back to sleep now :huh:

    At 178# I would think W&B would be tough to do on a Kitfox or Avid. Sounds like a full race cam, at idle...

    When I applied for insurance for my KF2 there was a box for "model" on the application. I simply entered it as "II". There was never any need to show proof of that.

    Is this aircraft registered with the FAA? If it is, I would go with whatever the registration shows.

    KD I did that just that with my plane. I used Latex shot out of a Harbor Freight el cheapo spray gun to cover up some ugly spots on Aerothane on just the fuse. Latex is flexible, contains UV protection, covers well, is light, cheap, did I mention it's cheap? I used a lot of rattle can on metal parts after sanding and priming them. 6 years later and I still an occasional compliment on it. She's no showbird but that is NOT what I was after. I just wanted to get her flying and it turned out better than I ever imagined. Now if you are looking at resale value, and things like that you should consider starting over from scratch but covering is substantial chunk of money these days.

    Heres a link to the process I used.

    Also check out www.weinerdogaero.com for more info on Latex painting on aircraft.

    That URL takes me to a "links" webpage

    I like the OD - Makes you stand out from the Ivory soap crowd!

    I think I remember a video (or 2) of the gal that did the commercials for that product...

    It depends what it is really.  An old KT-76A would still do what it needs to do as long as it still works.  If it doesn't there are better options than dumping money into repairing one.  Wiring harnesses are still readily available.

     

    Dig it out and throw it in that box and I'll have it tested for you.

    I decided I would go the light sport route to get in the air but there are no LSA planes around here to rent so I started looking for one.

    That was my approach also. I looked for nearly a year before finding mine.

    Unfortunately I've not yet had it in the air.
