If you are referring to the part that is glued and riveted to the wing spars, Kitfox or Just aircraft are probably the same as what Avid used.  Certainly Kitfox uses a 2 1/2" OD spar, and I think Just does as well.  Whether they will sell just those parts is another matter.  Probably wise not to mention Avid Flyer if that's what you need them for if you call Kitfox.   JImChuk

Is that due to animosity or simply safety?????

Maybe both, with more of the former??  I don't think they support the early Kitfoxes much either.  Being that they are almost 2 yrs out on a new kit, I don't suppose they want to monkey with other perhaps less profitable things.  These are just my guesses.  YMMV.  JImChuk

Thank you Jim yeah im in that same situation that Luked was in all those years ago with the incidence angle and trying to have a positive incidence instead of the negative angle from factory. I wonder what he ended up doing ?
