The ribs come CNC pre-cut from spruce (?) plywood. They are intentionally left slightly too large. Trimming them is easy. A small hand-held rotary tool (aka. Dremel tool) will be your friend for these days!
Fitting ribs, horizontal stabilizer
Starting with the horizontal stabilizer
Started reaming the horizontal stabilizer. Of course, all the hinges are very close to the tubes, which makes it quite tricky to hold the reamer. The grinder got busy on the reamer end, so that the vice grip has something to hold onto. A little piece of scrap wood helped to protect the weldment. All took a bit longer than I expected…
Getting closer to the start
The wings are hung, the inventory done. Getting closer to starting the build. 
Inventory time!
The first step (after reading the manual) is to do an inventory of all parts. There are lots!… This is a good occasion to familiarize yourself with the breadth and depth of this adventure. Kitfox Aircraft was very helpful during this process.
First clean up the garage!
Cleaned up the garage. It’s amazing what accumulates over two decades! Anyway. Exciting times! The Kit was scheduled for delivery for today, though there was too much snow blocking the way from Idaho to Colorado. Let’s try again next week!
