What are the differences between the Kimball HP fuselage & wings versus the plans versions, and how did the changes evolve?
———- First, let’s clear up what it takes to be able to make the changes I will be discussing here. If you are an engineer with design experience in Tube/Wood/Fabric structures, you are qualified to develop and make the type changes we are discussing here. If you do not have these qualifications, you are shooting from the hip without proper knowledge and that can be dangerous. This is why most airplane plans state in them or the related agreements that builders are to follow the plans precisely or use the approved components available for purchase. It keeps the builder from making tragic errors. So, in the case of the model 12, Dad and I were qualified to make the engineering changes in the airplane and went back to Curtis Pitts to have him double check what we did. Pretty safe. What brought on the changes? In 1995. Curtis gave Dad and I a 3-view of the Model 12. This was before the first part was made and all the design work was not yet completed. At that point, the 3-view was of
