I was just thinking. The nice or not so nice thing about a model I or II
is it does not matter as you are on the peddles all the time anyway.

I'm wondering what you will find or how you will interpret the
findings. Shortly after completing my classic 19 years ago it was left
overnight at a nearby airport. The people at the FBO had been somewhat
sceptical aboutf homebuilts and a little out spoken. When I went back
the said they owed an apology. They had measured the plane ever which
way as you have suggested and the largest variance was 1/8 inch. "None
of the certified planes on this field are rigged that close." This
would suggest you don't know what you have unless you know what you
started with. Rippled fabric might be a clue but often can be reshrunk.
If the measurements are way out of whack look further.

Good day
A lot of kitfoxes seem to get ground looped at one time or another, I
am guessing this may twist the frame out of whack a bit.
If inspecting a KF for purchase , is it worth while to check the
distance from centerline to wingtips front & back ?
Maybe compare spinner to wingtip distances side to side & tail
to wingtip distances ?
thanks
