   Fuselage, seat, fuel tank, rudder pedals.   Joy stick and mixer controls behind the seat I think.   One landing gear, wings and flaperons (such as they are) lift struts.  Brake master cylinders and slave cylinders, and rotors, wheel hubs.  Aluminum rims are not in very good shape.   Send me a private message with your phone number and I'll give you a call if you like.  JImChuk

   Well the FAA will not fall victim to logic if they have a choice, that said I would request a 100 mile radius and 5 hrs.

   The airworthiness cert was lost on this airplane by previous owner. I have been working with the local FSDO and they have finally issued me a special airworthiness after providing lots of documentation. But they are having me do Phase 1 testing. This airframe already has nearly 400 hours on it. Is this normal for the FAA to have one go through all the testing again? I am limited to a certain airfield and have to log 40 hours. I have a virtual meeting with them next week to discuss all of this.

    Well, it's that time of year again. Starting 2023, copperstate is no longer associated with Buckeye Air Fair due to political complications.
    So it's only Buckeye Air Fair this year.

    There is also a matched pair of pieces inside the wing on the web of the rib and under the cap strip to reinforce these brackets.
    I converted to the new style hangers when I rebuilt the Mangy.

    I've watched most of TJay's videos. Very well done and a talented guy. The way he made his new wing ribs is almost exactly how I set up to do mine. I have access to a laser so making the hangars is no problem. Just trying to get the orientation right so I don't have any weird handling issues.

    TJay Larson has a youtube video where he shows making new kitfox hangars I believe.  He converted his Kitfox 1 to Kitfox 4 style wings.

    the two piece one is the original type.  Kitfox changed to a steel one that is just on the top.

    I snapped this picture today of my Kitfox 4 flaperon hanger.  Maybe that will give you the info you are looking for.  I believe that Avid flaperon is a good bit lower.  JImChuk

    The type 54 carb in the top of the Bing carb page has two cables coming into the top of the slide it looks like.  That of course is not the carb used on the 582.  Lot of the other parts shown are interchangeable though.  And actually the 912 type 64 and the 582 type 54 carbs use the same floats.

    saskavid added a post in a topic 582 stutters on bumpy airstrip    28 January

    So I looked at the link Jim posted about the bing distributor web sight. The carb slides they show are very different from the original items so I am wondering if anyone has a set of these custom fabricated ones and how they work and assemble to the existing carb hardware? They look like fully machined pieces from solid aluminum stock to my eye. 
    I was just looking and is this slide even compatible with the carbs our planes are running?it lists the slide as being for 54-1 carbs and I have no idea what model of 54 the 582 has....
