    I think Jim is right that the KF5 gear is wider.
    Logan, yes its me u been textin about gear and tail feathers. And i was sayin that i tried Avid tail feathers on a Kitfox and it Did not work, hindges dont lineup, ud have to cut them off and reweld them backon in my experience.  And the 22” long gear leg is same as all the stock Kitfox gear i have. Hope this helps  hahahaaaa

    Dont know if this helps, but when i started the build on my model one kitfox, i bought an A model Avid, and tried to use the horizontal on the kitfox and it would fit but every hinge location would have to b moved to lineup with eachother.

    There was one on my KF model 1 when i bought it, but i removed it cause didnt feel like carring around 21lbs of dead weight, plus it was almost 25yrs old so i put it out in the yard and set it off, wasnt anything to brag about when i did. Hahahahaaa

    Ill bet it just unscrews but been together so long it going to take so force to unscew, i also know that they sometimes use amset screw in the middle of the topcap to lock it to the barrel so dont come apart durring use. Set screw should b easy to c tho. Send me a bunch of good pic via text and ill c if i can help figure it out. Ill b at work today so wont b around home. Take care Jim

    Well i really cant say which to buy, i only get into HF when im in Louisianna visiting Mom&Dad, here in Fairbanks there is no HF, lot of the most important thigs to look for is the size of the orface in the spray tip, bigger ones r for primer/sealers or filler primer, id have to go look at my FAVORITE gun that ive been useing for the last 10+ yrs. but its a Sharpes brand from NAPA

  24. Buckchop added a post in a topic Polyfiber shopping list   

    Hey if i was u id step up to med weight fabric, i was going to use light weight but when lookin, comparing, and thinking of off airport flyin, med is better i think, stronger longer lasting to i think. But light weight tapes r ok on the med fabric and depending on what ur covering the light weight will flex and lay down better, I did both my wings total job for $793.00 i think i wrote up info in my spread on that, time it took and materials list totals. 
    dont buy to cheap of a spraygun ull regret it down the road. harbor freight has some good cheap ones 
    Use only non died maskin tape if ur paint light colors. Tan/ brown tape
    dont forget the Poly Fiber Users Book. Lots of good info

  25. Buckchop added a post in a topic 2-stroker stuff... What's it worth?   

    So for all that would b $792.00? Hahahahahahahhaahahaaaaaa!!!! Total crazy, so do u know what u want for it? I dont need it but thought b smart to have a spare setup on the shelf incase one of my two birds have a problem down the road.  But im not tire kicking either. Got some cash in hand these days.
