   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.
