Kitfox 5 to early Skystar Kitfox 7 Grove mounts

[EDMO 1078]

For the one who asked about the Kitfox 5 mounting, I am attaching two views from my manual.

Note:  The later Kitfox 7 by McBean Kitfox uses the same fuselage attachments, but has radius plates instead of this complicated mount.

For an alternative mount, see my posting of "Foxy Flapper Fotos" in the Kitfox IV section - I have heavier longerons, and used a .062 wall, 3/4 dia tube across the floor and welded in 3/4 x 1 1/2 x .062 wall rectangular tubing to attach the mounts to my Kitfox 4 clone fuselage.  Mine is nosedragger.  I have the same mounts shown in the attachments for my Kitfox 7 gear, but could use the radius plates instead.

I talked to Robbie Grove and he said that my mounts would not change the GW of the gear enough to worry about.
