Really enjoy the POV shots!

Loving the build! Can these aircraft be VH registered?

Nice video mate, subscribed :)

Good explanatory video Brock, as you said - not that big of a deal, I take it the wax in the stitching thread helps it to slide across the fabric and around the rib to assist sliding the knots beneath the surface? Well done thanx. Cheers. Glenn.

Great work Brock, the hose clamps holding your grips look a bit ordinary but I'm sure you could come up with something a little more elegant, am hoping you can video the rib stitching processes, looking forward to the next video. Cheers, Glenn.

She's coning together now, be flying in no time!

Like following your build. At 4:15 should that cuf not be only halfway on the rib so the next cuff can also be supported by the cuff? Is the cuff at 5:05 not going to "float" now? Should that not be cut like you did later at 12:40?

I'm originally from South Africa, living in North West Canada now. The KFA kits were always very popular at airshow for any keen enthusiast wanting to build a plane.

Hey Brock, another option for bonding your cabin floor stiffeners would be 3M VHB double sided tape - used in the Aerospace industry - amazing product with huge range of dimensions, and "Click Bond" do self adhesive pads that work with "P" clamps also suitable industrial and defence applications, as you mentioned great to have options - the beauty of experimental, but! proceed / modify with caution Good Video. Cheers Glenn.

Hey Brock, as always interesting updates, the 20mm leading edge spacing tubes look to match the leading edge cuff inner radius profile better than the 12mm tubes, offering more support to the leading edge cuff. long video but great detail. Cheers Glenn

All very interesting - keep uo the good work Brock Cheers from down south. Glenn.

loving this project kit build !!

I used to hire Tecnam’s from Airsport Boonah

Looks like a similar iron used for waxing skis/snowboards

When I purchased my kit long range tanks were available. I found out after my kit was delivered,

Also on the covering, if you spill any glue on the fabric then use the acetone or thinners and remove the spot(wipe it clean). All those spots will show through on the final paint so keep the fabric clean.

Make the wing tip angles a temp fit, remove once dry-fitted and cover the wing. Once covered you rivet the angles back on. That way you can finish the ends nicely and hold the fabric.

Great update Brock, good review of the iron, seems like a no brainer to purchase the right tool for the job. Fuel tank instal appears simple enough, there looks to be room enough up the the first rib to have a longer tank giving slightly more fuel capacity? the tanks look like they have a sump drain (water / sediment) installed at the inboard rear corner? Keep up the good work. Cheers. Glenn.

Great stuff. Keep it up. We are always happy to help at KFA.

Love the background music great content Brock

Hey Brock great info keep the updates coming - finding your video's very informative and reassuring, one question / what are the fuel tanks made of ? they look to be a composite - perhaps fibreglass? if so how resistant are they to 10% ethanol fuel ? Cheers Glenn.

Awesomness🙌🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

Hi Brock, I've been away in NZ for the last 6 weeks (War Birds over Wanaka! just WOW!) just watched Video 5 - not boring at all, the more detail = the more reassured this is the kit is the way to go with, well done on the progress. I'll be in Maroochydor, 3rd week in June, I'll call first would very much like to come and have a look at your build,. again keep up the good work. Cheers Glenn - NSW south coast.

Hi Brock, how do I contact you as I need parts for my 90% finished Explorer. Some parts I wish to update. Cheers Steve

Good to see yor progressing Brock, I hope to be up your way a little later this year would love to have a closer look at your baby, I'm leaning toward the Safari XL, with the RAaus class "G" having been approved. Will be in touch. Cheers Glenn - South Coast NSW.

Mask up when cutting carbon fibre. That stuff is very bad to your lungs.

Awesome my Safari is on the way to FL thanks for vid.

We painted all of our aluminium window frames at home with Rustoleum spray cans. Works perfectly

Hello Brock Rust protection is your goal..the means by which you accomplish that is not important. Its your project and experimental gives you the freedom to do things in your way. The black on yellow primer should help you find any light spots. Painting a fuselage is tedious and very time consuming but the results are worth the effort. I am restoring a 1946 Taylorcraft and we painted battleship gray over a white primer...with a spray gun...I think your method was the right choice.

Awesome glad I found this channel I just bought a KFA Safary The first one in the States I think.This will help me at building it .Ile be using the Jabiru 3300 with the water cooled heads.Thanks for vids.

Hey Brock, all good information appreciate the update, a "Handy Hint" consider loading your assembly manual onto a USB stick, pop down to Office Works, have them print a A3, or even a A2 hard copy and have them ring bind it, - much easier to interpret the images when they are larger thus avoiding mistakes. Cheers from the south coast NSW, Glenn.

Anyone ever tell you that you sound like Elon musk.

Love this series mate please keep them coming I am interested in getting one in the next few years

Good luck, how much is that kit ?

Hey Brock, nice work, hey if it works - go for it, this is what "Experimental" is all about, even down to how your paint and protect. Do you know what the primer base paint is ? ie, - epoxy or acrylic ? Keep up the good work watching with interest. Cheers Glenn.

Im not an expert but it seemed to me that you landed with your nose wheel too low. You will damage your firewall and you are touching down faster than you need to.

well done Brock! what are you flying at the moment?

Congrats mate! Not the easiest conditions for your first solo too!

Looks like some pretty challenging conditions you had there...well done!

Nice video Brock. Looking forward to flying the foxbat myself one day. Heck field looks like a nice place to fly around. Good luck with your training.
