Airdale offers an extension (15") of the Avid airframe, I have never heard of a
stretch for a Kitfox, though...
It could be an interesting mod, though.

AV8R, Thanks for info, Must have been Airdale that I saw previously. It
sounds like an interesting mod to me, too. It would sure be easy enough to
do in an original build.
