    Ill take a look thanks. I was way more excited when I first read it, Thinking a complete panel but then later on I saw that it says 582 engine, that makes me think alot of stuff to sit on my shelves and not use ha,

    Setting elevator travel
    When setting the elevator on my kitfox do I just go for the max up and down I can get?

    Fabric is fairly easy but time consuming, I just sprayed the last coat of paint on my tail feathers about 30 minutes ago. Got close to 300 hrs in fabric and finish alone but I am a rookie,

    Im only asking because I was thinking anytime there is a witness hole in the rod end means you only need about 5/8 inch of threads inside the rod end, so with that being said you could probably sand off a tiny bit of the bottom of the rod end and get another turn out of her and still have more than enough threads in there, Just a thought, Im sure some one else will pipe in on this,

    Covers under horizontal stabilizer
    When I start to put this thing back together I need to make those aluminum covers under horizontal stabilizer and was wondering what everyone is using to hold them on, either a small sheet metal screw or are you guys tapping out the tabs for a threaded screw.

    Wing/ Strut bolts
    Are the 1/4 bolts up top and 5/16 bolts down on the bottom just AN bolts or are they some high test shear bolts? Just wondering

    Building new struts
    For those of you that built new wing struts did you reuse the bottom attachment or build all new. If you reused it how did you weld the new tubes to it. I would think you would want to get your welds clear up on the attachment for good strength. Pictures would be appreciated,
