The wing spars were extruded aluminum, and the verticle piece and the outside are all one piece.   Some of the last Kitfox 1s and maybe all of the Kitfox 2s had them.  My Kitfox 1 has them.  I suppose it's a stronger design than a tube with a slid in stiffener.  As far as the doublers on the rib tails go, I fixed one rib tail that way on my Avid Flyer years ago, and it was fine after that.  Would have been nice if you had taken a picture of the underside as well.  How far forward do the doublers go?  I would think the seat truss could be straightened.  JImChuk

The repair to the two wing rib tails goes forward under the fabric up into the wing and seems pretty ridgid so maybe I should just leave it alone. Its been flying that way for 700 hrs....DSCN1495.thumb.JPG.ca931f4d01ff2d354b65c
