Michel, you are right about the drooped wingtips. Although I am far too
skilled to groundloop a Kitfox, I can tell you first hand that the drooped
tip will drag on the grass and only grind off about one fourth inch of
fiberglass. A little sandpaper, daub of paint and it is good as new. Us
poor folk that can't afford Grove gear take comfort in that feature.
PS Has anyone ever made a grove type gear of laid-up fiberglass or laminated
spruce?

There is a guy in Pennsylvania that makes fiberglass gear for the Himax (Ison aircraft) which is a small wood single seater. When I had my Himax C I bought the fiberglass gear from him. It worked really good. I've talked to him about making a larger gear for Avids and Kitfoxes C but he wasn't sure there was enough of a market for him to do the reasearch. He had a Himax when he built his prototype gear C so testing was easy for him. Jim Chuk Avids C Kitfox 4 Mn
