Weren't crimped enough, do you have a gauge?

Really good company to deal with!

 Carlson streamline aluminum tubing, 

The first thing you wanna do is try to get that paper off the Lexon!

 If I remember right, ivo  uses a stainless steel tape, I'm pretty sure that's not gonna hold up to any abuse,  are use my warps to clear the cat tails away from my waterfront!  And Daryl covers with their warrantee any damage, and I've never had to send a prop back to him yet,! Look forward to hearing from you

 Congratulations Bucky, welcome to the float world . Here's Magic number she'll need, 3 to 5 ahead of step, for your CG location and if it's a kit fox 123 or  any avid, one and three-quarter " higher front strut fitting, or + 3° For angle of attack . Feel free to call me if you need any help, you can make the  width spacing's anything you want,l  normally use 8 foot six to be legal on the highway towing, in the most important thing is the length of your propeller will gauge the distance  for the prop to clear the floats plus ,+ 6",  highly advise using warp drive with the nickel leading edge!

i measured mine, butt to centerline approx 2.5"

 Chris, another thing you might wanna check is the rivets that hold the flap and attachment arm to the trim tab  to the elevator, I  Fly a seaplane in brackish/saltwater environment and corrosion ate the rivets up and The trim tab departed!!!!

 Make sure to lubricate that bit real good, it  can be tough drilling through a weld!!!Kk

 Old style Avid Dash Fuel tank, have a friend that needs one ? $?

 Along these lines, will the kit fox Dash tank work? 

 Now here's a nice one with no Mixmash of parts,! 6800

 Suggestion, add a scissor jack to the base of the fuselage with the tail wheel spring Bolts on, to get the weight off the tail wheel spring!!!

 I talk to this gentleman, the biggest problem with this will be he doesn't have any paperwork whatsoever ,not even a bill of sale or any proof of ownership, buyer beware 

 Just going over my old Avid #82,adjusting the flaperon linkage  and came across this old AD, which should be of interest to older Avid & fox owners
