Tom
Thanks for that. It makes sense that (in the new post 2003 setup) if the first
8 degrees are dedicated to the spoiler region, then the flaperon angle with the
flap lever full forward should be 19.5 instead of 11.5.
I went and checked my setup today and the flaperon angle seems about 5 degrees
*above* the horizontal instead of 11.5 degrees below. I'll have to find a proper
digital level to take precision measurements and make the appropriate adjustments.
I still haven't heard back from Kitfox about my enquiry to purchase a manual.
Regards
Sacha

rigging "reflex" or "negative" flap setting to act as a spoiler. this may
account for the difference in the instructions. I'll have to do some deep
thinking on this.

I haven't ordered anything lately but when I do I call and leave a message. They
always called me back pretty soon afterwards.

Being in Europe I generally prefer email but I'll try calling them this week.

I'm building a SS7 and was wondering if others had to trim the firewall widt
h? Mine seems about 3/8" too wide on both sides as compared to the sides of
the tube fuselage and in compared to the stainless steel lower firewall pie
ce (the part that goes along the lower edge and below the fuse).....
Picture attached
Thanks

Mike,
My experience is with model IVs. With the IV the firewall is custom fit to
the cowling so it is sent by the factory oversized. It is essentially cut
to fit the cowl. I found that one of the more challenging parts of the
whole construction process. Not being that familiar with the 7, the above
might not hold, but I would suggest not cutting until you are sure how it
will eventually fit the cowl.
