Hello & welcome back to the KingFox Channel. In this episode I will be attaching the Horizontal Stabilizer & the Elevator to the fuselage. This is my longest video thus far & it contains more details than any previous episode. If you enjoy what you see or have comments please leave me some feedback, good, bad or otherwise. I look forward to putting out more & wrapping up the Horizontal Tail Section of the KitFox Model 7 STi manual & transitioning into the Fuselage build. Have a great day.

In this awesome video (which is no longer set for Kids & you can now comment) you will get to watch how we take the horizontal tail stock blocks included with the kit, measure, cut & install them, then cover them with the Hysol epoxy to give them their finished “relatively” smooth appearance which provides a nice rounded base in which we will cover later on with the fabric which will essentially be the skin of the aircraft. They don’t necessarily look smooth however I think with a little sanding in the future after they set up I can give them a smoother and refined finish. Thanks for stopping by.

In this short video I will demonstrate the mixing of 9460 ER otherwise known as Hysol in the industry. I do not demonstrate the mixing with the cotton floc but I do discuss it and why you might use it. I hope you enjoy this spectacular little clip and it will help you with your future project. Thoughts and comments if you have some please. Have a super Day.

In this exciting video you’ll enjoy watching me apply my first coat of varnish to the wooden ribs. I put 3 on in total but lucky for you I didn’t film the other two! Thanks for watching.

In this video, I begin with the horizontal stabilizer. Wooden rib, layout, cutting, sanding, fitting, rib, stiffeners, then installing the ribs. Cutting and sanding down the end caps, (still awaiting install) then pressing in the bearings into the elevator hinges, sanding, the bushings to fit into the bushing, (ongoing process).

Delivery of the kit! After waiting 22 months, it is finally here. In this episode, I take delivery, conduct inventory behind the scenes and get things ready for when I will begin to build starting in the summer of 2021. I hope this video will answer any questions you may have about what is involved in a kit delivery and how easy and how fun it can be. I hope you like this video.

In this video, I’ll take a deeper dive into the costs associated with the building of a kit, and in this video in particular how much I’ve paid thus far on my build on the firewall backwards portion. Thanks for coming back for another content Rich episode. Trying to set up my game, with some new editing, software and sweep music to really enhance, not only the soothing tone of my voice, but augment the richness of my videos. I’ll BS aside please continue to hang with me as my editing gets better and the content sweeter. Hopefully, this video will give you some insights on the building of a kit, what is entailed and answer any and all questions which you may have had. If not Comment below, ask a question or tell me I suck. Either way I would love to hear from you, and please stay tuned for what is to come.

In this video, I discuss who can build an airplane, what the bill will entail, space requirements, time, and some of the other minutia. The link below is a list of kit aircraft that meet the 51% bill rule from the FAA. https://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/ultralights/amateur_built/kits/nket_list The other link below is a reference to the advisory circular from the FAA outlining the flight procedures involved for the flight testing upon building of your kit. https://www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC%2090-89A.pdf

This video is a short introduction of myself what I’m about to do and how I’m going to do it. Thanks for coming along and watching me as I take a deep dive into the pool. I’m going outside my comfort zone by number one building an airplane in number two learning how to edit videos so you will see That I suck right now but hopefully I’ll be getting better as I move along. Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think.
