    I used the Stewart system. I have to make repairs to my wing and fuselage. I called them and got instructions, very easy to repair. Give them a call

    to answer any questions you have. Good luck with your build. Russ

    Thanks Doug, I have measured the wing bushings frt. to back, and diagonaly. All match the Avid setup. The frt. left and rt. door tubes on the KF will slide over the Avid tubes. The rear will have to be welded at my weldment points. 1st. pic. shows rt side damage. 2nd. rt. side butt. 3rd. rear carry thru damage.

    N844RS repair
    Hi all,
    I have ordered the WIB gear, tail ribs, and trailing edge alum. from Airdale. I have damage to the rt. side carry trough tubes front and rear. They broke off taking the butt rib with them . The rear tube is bent Here are my plans for repairs. I have obtained a Kitfox III cabin from the front door posts, and rear at the side windows up. I have taken all measurements and they all match the Avid MK IV. I am going have it welded onto the Avid where it matches the original cabin top. All thoughts and advice appreciated.

  25. Russ. added a post in a topic Tail wheel to trigear gear.   

    Now that I have had a couple days to think over all the great advice I have received, I will keep N844RS a TD. Thanks for all the help. I checked all of the problems that could have caused the ground loops on my landings, 4 in all. The Aircraft Products tail wheel was breaking free with full left rudder and close to free with full right. I moved the holes on the rudder bell crank in on each side problem solved. I
    took slack out of the springs. Checked for tow in and out. Ground handeling was much improved. The take off was straight and true. The landing was the problem again. I now know the problem is my lack of TD
    ability. With repairs will be installation of wider main gear, and TD
    training. Russ. N844RS
