As I complete my Kitfox in 2012 I see how little has changed in some of our light aircraft. Some of those cub parts are reproduced almost exactly in my kit plane. A few things have changed in the ensuing years: fabric coverings have evolved, workers are more productive, girls have become women, wood has mostly been replaced in structural applications, yet the basic designs soldier on and are much sought after.

Didn't I see a copy of the pamphlet in Eagle Hangar?
Anxiety is nature's way of telling you that you've already goofed up.
Great pamphlet, Ron. I saved a copy for handouts at my next ground school session. Thanks.
Cheers,
