Steve, how did you increase the gross weight of the model 1 to 1050 ?
I thought they were 850 lbs ?

Thanks Steve. Not only did I check my pants, but I checked my skin
for shards. When the door blew in I was pretty well blasted.

Dave,
I have no idea what mods Dan Denney made. I'm not a builder and do not understand
much about the building process. I have attached the Weight & Balance sheet
I received with the plane when I purchased it. I would think that Dan Denney
could give us the info you desire and it would seem logical that other Model
I's & II's could also have the gross weight increased UNLESS Dan did the increase
when he originally built this plane, or during a rebuild. Remember, it
was HIS plane and he could have done things to it that were not done to others.
Just my guess.

Jose,
Here are some photos I have that may help. The grove gear should be attached to
the rear clips on the airframe. It comes with attachment plates to attach it
to those rear clips. If your airframe doesn't have rear clips, John McBean
sells them. I purchased some from him just in case mine needed to be moved to
a different location. They did not need to be moved.
McBean also sells the complete (wheel & tire included) nose wheel assembly which
comes with detailed instructions of how to install. I purchased mine from him.
Also, note on photo #6 the addition of height to the vertical stabilizer and the
addition of a Model IV rudder. This has really helped give good rudder authority
which I found out after purchasing my Model I was one of the major problems
that was addressed in later models and finally fixed in the model IV.
Please understand I am not a builder nor am I an engineer and I have no knowledge
in airplane design. I just listen to others well. I hope this info is of
help to you.

Nice job of resurrecting and upgrading a "classic" Kitfox. How much did you raise
the vertical stabilizer and did you work from someone's plans or design the
mod yourself?

We raised the vertical stabilizer about 10". I purchased a new Model IV rudder
from John McBean and then used cardboard from an old box to make a template of
an existing vertical stabilizer from a model IV. The ached photo shows the
"high quality" red and white template resting on the horizontal stabilizer. Not
too scientific, but it worked. The key, of course, was to make the vertical
stabilizer the same height as the new rudder was going to be and the same front
to back width and design as the current model IV vertical stabilizers.
