    I wouldn't extent the rib tails If your going to make new wings. Just put the new flaperon where they are on the kitfox it seems to work well. Wish I had an airdale should have bought the one that was local to me with the harley engine.

    Just plasma cut. He said he could punch or mark the holes but they would be not perfectly round and hard as shit around the edges.

    And The laser company around here would not do that small of an order.

    Hi Anders,  I think the 3/4" lift struts are what is limiting your MTOW.  If you could find some 7/8" lift struts, then probably have the higher gross weight.  Like they say, a chain is only as strong as it's weakest link.  JImChuk

    Hi Jim.

    Yes but MkIV HH have a gross of 1150lbs-1200lbs and I was hoping that was because of the 7/8" struts and more ribs, different tail feathers, gear and fuselage?

    I counted the ribs on mine and there is only 9 ribs, so it seems like it's a standard STOL wing with HH spars?! I am hoping this would result in a MTOW of 1050 instead of 911 or 1150lbs. Bit of course this is only guessing and until I really know, I stick with 911lbs.

    just put it on floats then all those components magically get stronger ha.
