Thanks!

OK I look forward to watch your video.

@@KitfoxPilot Coming soon. Thanks Harlan!

Thanks for watching.

i believe i uses 3 wire shielded.

Thank you Ed for the kind works, we appreciate it very much!

It sure is humbling Al, we see our real size when we are just a small dot in the vast sky!

Thanks Don.

You will like it very much! Thanks

Good to be back in the air Stu! Thanks

Thanks for watching David! I enjoy your carbon fiber work.

Sure thing, and thank you!

I'm sure you will get catch up soon or later!😂

Thanks Doug!

Yes that will be fine.

@@KitfoxPilot Thanks

Thanks Alex, I am enjoying your build. You are more precise than I was! Great job.

If I recall without looking at my notes, it was 400 that I used.

He was very impressive. Weather was too nice the announcer said. Very little wind and 82 degrees. haha.

I have looked at the rans S-21. I believe it would make a very nice plane for you.

Richard, If you will send me an email I will take a pic of that page and send to you. hsdjp@yahoo.com

I still chuckle about snow birding to mo, but hey it's warm compared to Alaska in the winter. Mike showed me a pic of a thermometer that was bottomed out below the -40 -50 numbers. Brrrrrr

I believe he has to have a clear ramp for airplane clearance. The cable/springs on the ramp won't allow that. Thanks

@@KitfoxPilot yes they will. I’m not talking about cables. I’m talking about the hinge the ramp is on would also be a coil spring. I have it in my toy hauler and it’s flush below the floor and very simple to operate.

@@Captndarty Interesting, I haven't see those but sounds great.

I have a Kitfox in an enclosed trailer and also have a winch for the door, to me is the way to go. I also have another winch to pull the airplane inside the trailer, each winch use a remote. Works great!

@ clearly for the both of you ignorance is bliss

Thanks Don, I agree, it is a great trailer for hauling a Kitfox!

That is great to hear. I don't think you could have gotten a nicer trailer. Kitfox is going to look great in there.

I would be nice to haul one around so you have wheels when you get to where ever one wants to vacation. How's your fox coming along?

Susan and me had decided we were going to buy a bush plane kit so we could fly out of our farm behind our house. We knew nothing about any of them other then reading about them. We were down to kitfox an highlander when we went to oshkosh. Susan liked the looks of the kitfox interior much better than the highlander soooo we bought the kitfox. I did over ride her liking the reg wing over the sti wing but I didn't tell her that when I ordered the kit. Haha. I think either choice is good between the two planes.

@@KitfoxPilotthanks for the reply! Didn’t you look at any of the Zenith or Rans planes? Those are all aluminum. Any thoughts on those? I need to go to Oshkosh sounds like! Thanks again!

@@shelliecurry6052 Yes I did look at those. Zenith are good airplanes but really slow and I wanted a tail draggier for off airport/sandbar type flying that I do. Rans I think would be fine airplanes but were not side by side seating, when we looked at them. Now I believe they do make side by sides and would be good. We definitely wanted side by side seating.

Rob I glued a thin piece of plywood on the backside of the crack.

Hundreds of seasonal Eagles on this river. It is very fun flying the rivers when the bars are out so thick and your not over water as much. Thanks for watching Stu!

Thanks Mark, It has been a life changing type flying for me. Thanks for your kind words. It was the last page of the magazine so it won't go to my head too much. Haha

Thank you very much!

Well I didn't even know I made the magazine! Thanks!

@@KitfoxPilot I suspect you get the magazine but if not, let me know and I’ll mail my copy to you.

@@diepenj47 Yes I just went in to look at it. Haha. Thanks for giving me the page number, I may not have made it to the back of the magazine!

I used milwaukee hole saw to do mine. Just go slow so it don't bite too fast. Good luck!

@@KitfoxPilot thanks. What was your total build time? I’m at the “overwhelmed” stage of the build. I’m 7 months in and am almost at the end of the fuselage section of the instruction manual. However, I look at my progress and feel like I’ve only completed 5% of the airplane. I was watching some of your later videos thinking: holy crap, I’ve got so much left to do.

@@robhaynes6173 19 months but I didn't keep times but I'd guess 2 hours per day??

It is overwhelming if you look at what you haven't done but if you do a little every day you will get it done. I have no desire to build another one. haha

🤣😂

It sure is. I have had more fun flying off airport for a couple years than I ever had flying the other 30 years! Thanks for your comments, I appreciate them.

Hello Mark, I did install an autopilot and it is the best one I have ever flown behind. Garmin brand. I like to look around when I just going cross country and the auto pilot takes care of everything for me while I'm sight seeing!

@@KitfoxPilot perfect. That's my kind of flying!!! Thanks

Thanks Don!

@bradleypoehler9609 Hi Brad, This is the little river .

Thank you for the kind words. I have 400 hours on it now and it just keeps getting more fun each flight!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the kind words and for watching, we really appreciate it! We enjoy making videos but are not very good at it.

Haha Jeremy. I had to look that up to see what you were talking about. We got a good laugh out of that!🤣

Thanks!

Thanks Gene, I missed you at OSH.

Hi Mark. The only trim tab I have is a manual trim tab on the rudder. I have factory sold heat via a small radiator above my feet. Good down to about 20 then you will put on several cloths. Haha

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks Tyler! The runway I took off on is really my perment taxiway but I use it to take off if the wind is out of the south or close to it. It is 600ft long. I use it to land on if the wind is out of the north but its a one way strip so you need to be on to land it. haha
