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.

8.8 is similar to SAE grade 5, which is comparable what AN hardware is.

My NR has treated me well, no complaints. The performance is not as good at my 78x48 Prince down low, but better top end.
I've spoken with a couple guys at OSH who love their DUC propellers. One guy had a constant speed version and had nothing but praise for it's performance.

Av8r3400 added a post in a topic KitFox 5 Down
One of the early reports said the engine departed the airframe. This has proven out to be inaccurate. Needless to say, loosing a blade will defiantly be a catastrophic situation...
I remember when my friend Dave (built Sputzee the Avid-Kitfox hybrid) was later building a J5 Cub with an O320 on the nose, his research told him that adjustable props and direct drive engines are not a good mix. He went with a solid Catto on that build.

I thought I read somewhere that someone had good luck with oven cleaner. (No promises)

So you're saying the one world order/government types are colluding with each other to control the economies of all of the "western world" in order to maintain their tyrannical authoritarianism? I whole heartedly agree.

Spot on, Jim.
At $50k, they're selling as many as they can make. They know they have a hot commodity. To increase production is almost impossible while maintaining the same level of quality that they put into their kits.
Doug's just a little salty because he remembers going to the movies for a nickel...

There's enough reading material and good educational information to keep your brain fed for a while.
I'll say that www.teamkitfox.com also is a good resource for the general type of aircraft too.

Great shot of my friend Paul Buss' Mark 4!
He has since rebuild the fuselage to include an extended and lowered footwell. I hope to talk him into brining it back again.
