A KitFox experimental aircraft was returned to the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center in Concord on Thursday with a major upgrade. It was lent to the Aviation Museum of New Hampshire last fall with an exposed metal frame. The Discovery Center had been supplied the fabric covering but did not have the expertise to install it. But a crew at the Aviation Museum was able to do just that.
Final assembly of the small, interactive airplane is still under way, but it is back on display at the McAuliffe-Shepard Discovery Center. Parts of the frame were purposefully left uncovered so visitors can see the internal metal structure. The Center is open to the public this fall Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
