Did some more testing this morning and it is definitely a heavy wing. I think
a turn or so in on the right front strut will to the trick. As John stated, it
is better to increase wash-out than wash-in. Thanks for all the input.

Guys,
I have a question regarding the shaking of the fuel tank/instrument panel in my
model II. If it weren't for the fact it made my compass drift unreliable I wouldn't
care about it. The problem is that through all phases of flight I have
a really low frequency shake that has just enough amplitude so that my compass
won't settle on a heading.
Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas?

Hi Folks;
There was a Kitfox accident this week near Sydney, Nova Scotia. Few details available
but a Kitfox IV went down outside of Sydney. The pilot sustained serious
injuries and the plane was destroyed.

Mike,
Been very hectic.. in a great way !! Pre-paring for our annual
fly-in next weekend.. The BBQ is on again. Hope to see everyone on Friday
and Saturday.
The Oshkosh show was one of the best I have seen in a long time. Yes the
Kitfox was a hit and with both the conventional gear with the 29" tires and
the tri-gear with wheel pants showed the versatility of the Kitfox. We were
pretty much busy from Sunday (setup day) through Friday... Saturday and
Sunday were good days but things were starting to wind down by then.
The weather was simply remarkable as well.. I do not remember an Oshkosh
without rain... :)

Hey Mr. McBean,
How was Oshkosh this year? Was the Kitfox the hit of the show? :-)
