I am looking at an older kitfox 4 and an Avid Model C. Can anyone compare just these two models. Thanks!

Hello,
I am new to this forum and interested in your plane. How can I contact you without putting my email address or phone number on the net. I'm in Colorado so not that far to come see it.
Aileron attachment rib end repair
in Avid Model IV
Posted · Edited by gmseegull
Hello All,
I recently talked to someone who told me they had a structural failure in flight and broke off two flaperon rib tips. Is there a manufacturer or otherwise approved way to reinforce the rib tips in an Avid Mark IV without taking fabric off. The Mark IV I am looking at has dampers on the flaperons to reduce / eliminate vibration. I understand the dampers are from a manufacturer tech sheet (sort of a like a recall notice). Are the dampers just intended to reduce vibration and the tips should still be reinforced to play it safe?
The wings are heavy hauler type.
