OK guys,
Herewith the first set of drawings for the Kitfox 4 empennage. Two
drawings this time around.. #1 for the Vertical Fin. #2 for the Rudder.
Caveat Emptor... They work OK for me, but you need to decide if they are
what you want. You will need to do a little shaving and filng to adjust
to your Fox, especially for the leading edge of the vertical fin. I used
a couple of pieces of Gyprock (I think you call it Drywall in the
US)edging to form the trailing edge of the fin. I then fillied that with
expanding foam and cut/sanded it back to form the final shape, to match
the front edge of the rudder. I will put a couple of photos up on the
sportsflight web (if I can figure out how to do it) so that you can see
what I have done. You may be able to come up with something easier/better.
Note, I have used 9 ribs, but you may wish to increase this number. Just
use the templates to project for interleaving ribs.
By the way, both of these drawings are A1 in size, due to the length of
the ribs. They are also Autocad Inventor R5, .idw format. I'll do another
email with them in .dwg and .pdf formats.
I will clean up the horizontal stab and elevator rib drawings in the next
day or so, and post these for anyone who is interested.
