Dude, hope you are ok.... I am really enjoying your videos. My plane is arriving at the end of this month. I hope you are still building and/or doing the videos. Take care
All is well! Glad you're enjoying the videos. Starting a new job and taking classes has caused me to slack on the build a bit, but enough excuses, have been taking video of what I've been able to do here and there and will be back to uploading videos soon. Really appreciate the comment and congrats on your plane being delivered soon! Feel free to reach out with any questions.
Great videos! I just started my kitfox build, and your tips are great. Im in Gallatin, TN, we will have to go flying once we get them finished! Where are you located?
The way you do the washers is using the tape trick. Take some masking tape and put some on part corner of the washer. It makes it so you can hold the washer where you need to for the bolt to get in place. Then just pull off the tape after the bolt is secured. You will definitely need this later. Also the elevator goes on easier if you slide it in first before the stabilizer.
You’ve probably thought of this but will it fit out the garage door with the stab on? Hate to figure this out later when it’s covered. Or maybe the stabilizer is removable. Enjoying the build!
It's close, but it won't fit unfortunately, so another thing I plan on doing to the house is changing to a large single garage door instead of the two small ones.
Hey Kevin, just a quick question. Regarding touching up bare or thin areas with sandblasting and primer, did you find many areas that needed this? I think I may have 2 places at most that will need it. Just wanted to see if you had many areas that needed attention. Thanks again, Brandt
Hello Kevin, hope you are doing well. I am starting my Kitfox build and I had a question. How did you interpret how they want the ribs attached to the horizontal stab? Do we remove the powder coat down to the metal or are we just scuffing up the powder coat and hysoling to the powder coat. Thanks for your help.
Congrats on starting your kit! I just lightly scuffed it up with Scotch-Bright 07447 and cleaned the area. Good luck on your build and feel free to reach out with any more questions!
Thanks Kevin, that is what I had in mind but wanted to make sure. Looking forward to your next video but I know your busy. Take care and talk to you soon.
Looking great! I like the video process of the slide for the stabilizer , Nice to see it in detail ! you are the second build i have seen about the bushings , I will put them in first. Love the Murdered out look! My Badland / Kitfox light is going to be all black too! Im going to use Oratex 600 for a covering, What are you using for covering the fuselage? Doug
Thanks Doug! The current plan is to use the standard Polyfiber, but the more I see about how quick and easy Oratex is, the more I want to use it, haha. Have you started on your Badland kit? They look pretty sweet and I was actually looking at getting one!
@@SpectreFox i'm 5th in line , maybe 4th now, I'm getting the F1 kit so basic fuselage and wings, but with toe brakes, I think it will be ready in the spring, I'm going with the Polini THOR 250 with Duel Spark 150cm ground adjustable E-Prop
I think you're asking how much does the frame weigh? If so, that's a good question, but I'm not sure. It's definitely lighter than it looks! If I figure out an actual weight, I'll post back and let you know!

Sounds good, I completely understand. Work must come first, otherwise we can not make all of this happen. I’ll be looking forward to your next video.
I will be getting my kit in about 2 weeks. Congratulations on the new job hope everything goes well! Look forward to any shared experiences

Hi Brandt! I just had 3 areas the needed touching up on mine.
@@SpectreFox OK then it sounds like I’m in line with those issues. Thanks again.

@@aerialimagesbydoug5733 Nice! What's the lead time on one?
what happened to the updates?
How many kg is a skeleton?

@@SpectreFox Yes I wonder the weight and the thickness of the pipe width.
@@SpectreFox I am making kitfox, you can watch kitfox ramze chilindrishvili on UA-cam, I wonder if it came out hard.
I'll check it out and follow along!

Ah, good idea! I was using a little dab of glue, but that wasn't working too well. Will give the tape a try. Thanks for the tip!
