#14 Loose Ends. Trim Actuator Pt.1
Hello everyone, I’m back at it. In this video I am pulling out the Trim Actuator & adjusting it so that it lines up properly inside the upper bracket. This has been on my “To Do” list since I began my kit. I have several other items that remain on the list. Thanks for sticking with me as I move along through the Fuselage portion of the build & bring everything back up to snuff. I hope you enjoy the video, anything I can do to make the build more enjoyable I will do. I appreciate any feedback you have for me & look forward to future comments. Comment please, so I may improve & get better. Cheers, KingFox.

#13 Center Console Match Drilling & Dremel Repair
Video 13 Match drilling the side panels for the center console & fixing my Dremel.
Hello followers and friends and welcome to the KingFox channel. My name is Matt Koeniguer and I’m building a KitFox Model 7 STi.
In the previous episode I surpassed the 100 subscriber mark which I would say I thought might happen a little faster but perhaps as I get better & put together some better content I’ll grow a little faster.
In this short video I’m going to be working on the side panels (match drilling) then a light sanding on the floorboards for the cockpit. No epoxy varnish which probably won’t hurt your feelings nor mine.
I managed to break my Dremel tool a few episodes back so I thought I would attempt to order some parts & see if I could actually fix it. I did. That made me happy, I’m happy when I am able to repair something in the garage & not just have to buy another replacement so I thought I’d document that also in the even others have had a similar issue. I’ll get into the meat & potatoes in the next video & tie up some loose ends.

#12 Epoxy Varnish & Center Console.
Hello everyone, I’m back at getting onto a schedule after a busy summer. Thanks for hanging in there with me as I delayed the release of a few videos, it was not by design. In this video I’ll be putting a few more coats of epoxy varnish on the floorboards & doing a little bit of layout work for the center console. Riveting! Enjoy.

#11 Vacation Accident
Good day friends & followers, while taking a vacation which started on a Friday we stopped for the evening at an Airbnb to spend the night near Fort Morgan, CO. I was doing a bit of editing that night getting a video ready to go for the following Monday. While loading the car the following day I placed the iPad on the roof of the car for whatever reason, I then forgot about it & we headed SW to Denver for some breakfast. I drove gingerly enough that the iPad stayed on the roof until we accelerated onto the interstate where at some point the iPad then went airborne departing the roof of the car. It then sat there for the next three hours as we headed to Denver for breakfast. It wasn’t until I returned to the car where I peeked into the backseat & noticed the absence of my iPad. I panicked & we headed back to the Fort Morgan area to begin our search. I was lucky to find it & it appeared to have a smidge of life remaining. The rest is in the video, I hope you will enjoy this quick video as I am diligently working on another. Thanks for watching.

#09 Center Console & Adj. Rudder Pedal Handle Fix
In this video I’m drilling out the previously installed adjustable rudder pedal handle brackets on the center console & reinstalling them for the 2nd time… this may not be the last time! I am also putting together for the first time the other two handles for the adjustable rudder pedals, much similar in construction to the flap handle. Unfortunately I didn’t capture all of it on video but as I’ve said before I will attempt to do much better as I progress. Thanks for watching & I hope you enjoy what I have finally put out!

#07 Floorboards
Hello friends & followers, thanks for watching & as always welcome back to the KingFox Channel. In this episode I’ll be taking you through the dry fitting, blind drilling & yes, a little epoxy varnish on the floorboards of the aircraft. Putting in my first Cleco & talking about what the heck they are & what they do. For those of you that were aware, please excuse my explanations. My Fuji Spray HVLP Q5 Platinum arrives so I am ready to do the final coat on the floorboards & get them installed once & for all. All I have to do is figure out how to use it… & wait for the arrival of the smaller gravity fed cup so I don’t have to mix up a half gallon of epoxy varnish to use only several ounces. I hope you enjoy what you have seen & will enjoy this video also.

#06 Flaperon Mixer & Push-Pull Tubes
Welcome back viewers! In this episode I am continuing the work from the previous video & installing the push pull tubes from the Fap Handle to the Flaperon Mixer, then from the Mixer all the way aft to the Elevator. I complete my first safety wiring & messed it up after not following the directions to the “T” so I have to redo some work. Overall this is a pretty straight forward video, I’d like to think I’m doing a little better in getting the camera in closer but I will continue to do better in the future I promise! I hope you are enjoying what you have seen thus far & will continue watching as I go forward. I have some new gear on order (tripods & the likes) to help me get more angles & better overall contents.
Looks like there is the possibility of a KitFox Fly-in this coming June. I’m hoping to be able to attend.

#04 Flight Controls Continuation B
In this video I am connecting the Control Column to the Bellcrank by installing the Pivot-to-Bellcrank connector which will then connect directly to the Aileron Bellcrank. I also begin to work on the Flap handle and that’s when things sour a bit. I encounter a problem while drilling a 1/16” hole (which may not have been necessary) through the detent pin. This is where I end up stopping due to the breakage of a drill bit inside the detent pin! I broke a few bits in this video and I learned to use much less pressure while utilizing the longer (6”-12”) aviation drill bits.
I hope that you will enjoy the video, possibly learn something or just enjoy watching me progress on the kit. Don’t forget to Subscribe, Like & tickle the little bell for instant content releases.
Have a great day & I look forward to seeing you on the next video.

#05 Flap Handle Detent Pin
Welcome back viewers! In this episode I am working on putting together & installing the flap handle in the fuselage. I run across a few setbacks during the assembly but in the end I overcome all of them & get the job done albeit with a few less drill bits. I broke a bit off inside the detent pin, tried some super-cooling overnight in the deep freeze to pop it out in the morning but that didn’t work. I try to drill out the existing bit with another, that didn’t work. Then I drilled perpendicular to it & through the lodged bit… that didn’t work either. I ended up having to use the cheapest replacement bit I purchased that morning to drill yet another hole through the detent pin which was successful. Got’r done in the end. I hope you like what you see & will like & subscribe if you haven’t already. Or if you are just here to watch me make some progress I hope you enjoy the video. I look forward to seeing you on the next one.

#03 Flight Controls Continuation A
Hello viewers! I’m churning my way through the Fuselage section of the manual. In this episode I will be putting in the Flight Control Column & the Bell Crank. Exciting stuff for sure! Breaking a reamer in the mix doesn’t slow me down at all, but it does make the job a little more difficult. I hope you enjoy this episode and as you are watching it, know that I am feverishly making yet another video which will hopefully be out soon to help curb your need for more!

#02 Second video working on the Fuselage Pt. 2 of 2
Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel. In this video which is part II of the series I am fabricating (or assembling) the Control Column Mounting Bracket. The video spans a few days while I worked around life events, store closures and probably the biggest problem was the rivet gun not wanting to put in two rivets that I needed to get the job done the first night. So I hope you enjoy the video, perhaps it helps you get something done on your build, or you just enjoy watching. Either way if you see something I can do better (camera angles I’m still working on & perhaps more real time video) leave a comment so I know what you are thinking, good or bad, I want to hear it.
Any tools or special items used in the video I’ve now listed below, all items were purchased on Amazon and I didn’t list prices because they’ve gone way up from when I ordered at the end of 2020.

#09 Horizontal Tail - tip construction & installation
In this awesome video (which is no longer set for Kids & you can now comment) you will get to watch how we take the horizontal tail stock blocks included with the kit, measure, cut & install them, then cover them with the Hysol epoxy to give them their finished “relatively” smooth appearance which provides a nice rounded base in which we will cover later on with the fabric which will essentially be the skin of the aircraft. They don’t necessarily look smooth however I think with a little sanding in the future after they set up I can give them a smoother and refined finish. Thanks for stopping by.

Thoughts and comments if you have some please. Have a super Day.

Delivery of the kit! After waiting 22 months, it is finally here. In this episode, I take delivery, conduct inventory behind the scenes and get things ready for when I will begin to build starting in the summer of 2021. I hope this video will answer any questions you may have about what is involved in a kit delivery and how easy and how fun it can be. I hope you like this video.

#01 Welcome to The KingFox Channel
This video is a short introduction of myself what I’m about to do and how I’m going to do it. Thanks for coming along and watching me as I take a deep dive into the pool. I’m going outside my comfort zone by number one building an airplane in number two learning how to edit videos so you will see That I suck right now but hopefully I’ll be getting better as I move along. Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think.

#03 cost to build? Cost for me to build thus far?
In this video, I’ll take a deeper dive into the costs associated with the building of a kit, and in this video in particular how much I’ve paid thus far on my build on the firewall backwards portion. Thanks for coming back for another content Rich episode. Trying to set up my game, with some new editing, software and sweep music to really enhance, not only the soothing tone of my voice, but augment the richness of my videos. I’ll BS aside please continue to hang with me as my editing gets better and the content sweeter. Hopefully, this video will give you some insights on the building of a kit, what is entailed and answer any and all questions which you may have had. If not Comment below, ask a question or tell me I suck. Either way I would love to hear from you, and please stay tuned for what is to come. Matt
