I recently purchased  a Kitfox III with a model 4 wing. What enhancements will this provide to me over  the model 3 wing? This kit comes with a Rotax 912 80hp. What performance specs  should I expect? I am looking forward to finishing this project. If there is  anything else you feel I should know I would appreciate any input! Thanks  again!

I'm not sure how much I can help. I don't know for sure what 

enhancements you might realize. Possible gross weight increase. I have a 

model 2 which I bought as a repair project. I had to buy a new spar and 

I got the model 4 wing instruction section of the builders manual with 

the newer spar kit. The important difference of the model 4 is the 

struts are longer than the model 2 (which I believe model 2 and 3 are 

the same, I may be wrong). So you must build the spars to position the 

internal "I" beam correctly for the struts you have. Model 3 struts or 

model 4 struts?

 I'm not at home so I can't get the reference dimensions for you. 

Perhaps someone else could tell us how far from the root to the strut 

bracket mounting bolt or the length of the model 3 or 4 struts. I could 

supply either construction sections for both M2 or M4 spars and wings by 

the end of the week.
