  1. Greetings from Oregon. My name is Steve and I have a problem, Lol.
              I just bought a new to me, 3 owner, never assembled Kitfox model 3 assortment of randomness! Or at least I'm pretty sure it is a model 3. I have a fuselage in great shape. an assortment of random stuff that definitely doesn't belong to the aircraft, Kitfox 2 ailerons? and Kitfox 3 ailerons? 3 sets of door frames, too few wing ribs of which there are 2 types... you get the picture. I really didn't know what I was looking at when I drove 10 hours one way to pick it up. there was just so much stuff. I knew I had a couple of missing ribs and that the butt ribs and false ribs weren't present. However, I didn't realize how much stuff was really missing until I started going through and taking stock of what I had and taking stock of the 2 copies of the manual it came with, which itself was missing several pages and a few sections. I spoke with John McBean and ordered the digital copy for the model 3. At least one thing is now complete. 
              SOOOOO, I may or may not be building a Kitfox in the near future. If / When I do, I will keep everyone apprised of the progress. Meanwhile, I'm scouring the forums and the interwebs of things, stuff and whatnot for all of the information I can find. So far I have determined I might have some avid wing ribs and some model 4 ribs, Lol. If anyone can give me some quick identifiers to check the fuselage for model accuracy I would appreciate it. 
    I would like to say thank you to 1AvidFlyer and Willja67 for responding to my posts and messages seeking assistance. They have both been a lot of help so far and have made me feel welcomed to the forum. Thank You, you two.
     
  2. I'm doing a market study for an MBA program and would appreciate a few people to answer these questions.

    How would you equip your aircraft and how much would you expect it to cost you?
     
    Have you ever built an airplane?
     
    How much time per week can you devote to building an aircraft?
     
    Tailwheel or Nosewheel?
     
    SLSA or kit?
     
    Would you be more likely to purchase a flying Kitfox S7 if more were readily available to purchase?
     
    Would you prefer to build a kit or buy a completed kit with the airworthiness certificate already issued?
     
     
    Thanks!
