I completed the 40 hour phase one flight testing on my kitfox today. Here's a picture after the flight. Do not archive.

Pat, the silver is Polytone "Rancho Silver" #222.  The main reason I chose it was to keep the plane light.  It is one coat over top of the polyspray.  The yellow is polytone "Ag Cat yellow".

Tom, That silver looks good. I am rebuilding a 3 with yellow wings. I had to recover the fusalage and am planning on a black fusalage. I might change to that silver though, withthe yellow wings rudder, horiz stab and elevator. I thought 1 coat of black Poly Tone over the Poly Spray might do the job.

 Pat, the silver is Polytone "Nevada Silver". The main reason I chose it was to keep the plane light. It is one coat over top of the polyspray. The yellow is polytone "Ag Cat yellow".

Your trailer looks almost exactly the same as mine, except your ramps are a lot longer than mine.    

   

I use my ramps to trap my main gear.  Do you support your tail when towing or leave all the weight on the tailspring?  

   

You sure got a great looking plane

I support the tail of the plane at the attachment point for the tailwheel 

spring to the fuselage with the tail raised to a horizontal attitude.
