I have a set of gear legs with streamlined covering and a set of doors with full lexan for a model three if anyone needs them.

Pat, I'm glad you got it figured out if for some reason you do need some info from my manual I can fax it or copy and mail it to you, I've never really checked mine for travel it seems the flaperons h ...

Pat, I looked through my manual and I do have some info on flaperon rigging on page cf-18 it shows (flaperon neutral position rigging details) this page doesn't say which model it is but the figure lo ...

I'm not sure if the flaperon problem has been solved yet but I do have the builders manual for my model 3 if this can be of any help I do know the flaperon controls changed completely from the model ...

I do have the elevator gap seal I put that on before the wing mod and it did help but I may consider the vortex generators.

Thanks

Wow, I didn't realize Osceola was such a popular name I guess Chief Osceola was a popular Indian,
I wanted to comment on Michel's post about not wanting to lose the drooping wingtips I didn't los ...

Michel, I too rarely ever really need speed because all I ever do is fly for fun so why be in a hurry right, but sometimes a group of guys from our airport decides to go on a little journey for lunch ...

I talked to Murle Williams online via email and he thought that the leading edge pvc would help the early mod 1-3 kitfoxes also as this is really what he did but before the preformed pvc was made and ...

I have talked to John Mcbean at Kitfox a few times about pricing and installing a mod 4 wing on my 3 but he never mentioned a pvc leading edge that he could sell me I will email him and ask about this ...

Thanks for the response Michel and the question was about Subaru but I am interested in any info about the model 3, I flew a Jabiru in a Titan for a while and I really liked the engine light and power ...

I am interested but I guess I can't visualize how this would be done I did send him an email through his website maybe he will send me some pictures.

Thanks for the info
