Here is a quote from Sport Aviation regarding Murle William's Kitfox III
which he claimed cruised at 100 MPH.
"Perhaps the major modification to
the airplane was in the wing. The
Model IV Kitfox was introduced during
the period N755M was being built
and incorporated a new airfoil created
specifically for the design by Harry
Ribblet. Murle met Harry at Sun 'n
Fun in 1991 and talked to him about
upgrading the Model III wing to make
it perform like the Model IV. Harry
subsequently sent him the necessary
ordinates to alter the leading edge
shape, and Murle made the change by
cutting a 1 inch PVC plastic pipe in
two and bonding the halves to the
Feather Fill was used to achieve the
proper contour. Also at Harry's suggestion,
the horizontal tail was
modified to incorporate an airfoil
shape, which Murle says helps both
aerodynamically and aesthetically."
