Service Bulletins and Service Letters

Sport Plane LLC excepts no responsibility for the following Service Bulletins or Service Letters.  They are provided for the Kitfox owners to access for a reference.  They have not been modified or changed and are as published on the previous Skystar Aircraft  Web Site.

A Service Bulletin is the equivalent of an AD on a Certified Aircraft.  In the Experimental Regulations, no channel exists for AD's, as such we call them Service Bulletins.  A Service Letter is either a suggested change, or designed as an assistance to the owner for an area where multiple difficulties arise.
