    On the kit list question, EAA didn't know but said it should still qualify.
    FAA said no problem, but sometimes you get different government answers-ever call the IRS for answers?

    Does anyone have drawing of the controls? Thank you.

    Hello.

    Newbie here. Hope to start work on finishing a Montana Coyote kit when I get the barn finished after putting the fence up after....soon, anyway.

    I bought a partial kit from an estate. Owner had attended the factory and had the fuselage etc. built on jigs. The kit is on the original 51 percent kit approved list but isn't on the new list, anyone know why? I believe the company went bankrupt in 1980s. The literature I have seen indicates it was a kit, my documents don't have plans.

    I think they advertised a gross of 1800 pounds. I had a friend in the aircraft salvage/repair business look at it, he was very familiar with steel construction. He said it appeared well built and sturdy. It has a huge baggage door for a part of a moose. Mine came with a 150hp Lycoming.

    Sadly, it looks like the manuals only go up to the wings and don't detail the flight controls and how they relate to the folding mechanism.

    The construction looks like the Magnum from pictures I have seen. I vaguely remember magazine articles that the designer was in the Idaho area and worked around the Avid and Kitfox designers. They all seem very similar.

    MtCoyote, what type of aileron/flap system do you have? Did you use the original fuel tanks and are they holding up to alcohol? Thanks, Skip
