We in down state Illinois have tried to get the state to offer more doe permits but the decisions are made 300 miles north in Chicago it seems where deer are not a problem. Haha
i learn something new every time i watch your video. so you go sideways in the hanger. clever. ive been looking for a 33 foot wide garage door system to accommodate my future build. i wasnt sure about the rolling system for the tundra tires but you have that part figured out. thx
Hi Harlan. Been keeping up with you just haven't reached out. What neck o the woods you hail from. Gotta pick up my son from N. Ga in two weeks n take him to Illinois and get my granddaughter to come down here for 2-3 weeks. If'n it's not too far outa the way I'd like to swing by n say howdy do
My first thought was "what a wimp, using a powered dolly to move his KF." Then I noticed it was moving sideways, and the entire setup, nice job! I did similar with a T-Craft, and a Titan Tornado, both kept in buildings with doors narrower than their span, it's a viable concept, the dolly work/hassle is much less than retro fitting a building for a wing spanned size door for sure.
The population is sky rocketing because hunters are only hunting trophy deer. No one hunts does any more and that is where the problem is. One buck can service a whole heard of does and they mostly have twins in this grain rich region. In 15 years this problem has over came us. Hunting sounds good but doesn't help much at all. Thanks for the plane comment. It is fun to fly!
I love your landing gear "bean camera"... that gave me a good laugh! (I think you said you are growing beans... is that right?) (I only counted 6 deer in your first low pass)
Hey Glenn how's life out west? This field is in soybean. We grow corn and wheat also. My inside camera is not very clear and me and go pro always have troubles. Haha. Glad I don't make a living with a camera. Haha
Aha... soybeans. Got it. I don't hear of soybeans being grown around these parts at all. Nor corn nor wheat for that matter. But we have lots of alfalfa being grown. But the local deer seem to prefer lawns for grazing... I've not seen them grazing the alfalfa. Things are good out west. I received my kit over the winter and it is spread out in my kitchen and living room as I await the completion of my new detached garage/shop where I will do the build (I'm replacing an old detached 1-car garage).
@@GlennSisson That's great to hear you are now looking and touching real parts for a Kitfox now! I look forward to hearing about your build along the way. Enjoy the ups and downs of building! haha. Is this your first build or are you an old pro at it?
I got tired of removing the yellow exhaust stains that the rotax engines produce so I added the extension and have not cleaned it since! Its not pretty but It eliminated the staining all together. Thanks for watching!
I agree I am a terrible camera operator. Trent does it for a living and is very good. He spends hours doing a video. I enjoy doing it a little but I will never be good with my phone and one gopro that always messes up. Haha
Trent is good that for sure, and you have an awesome airplane, I can watch your content all day. It's all worth the effort. I have a baby Ace I hope to get flying next year. The camera side of it just looks just as fun as the flying.
Very cleaver way to hanger and move an aircraft efficiently !! My friend, you have the wrong attitude towards the deer. In New Zealand, we farm them as they are one of the BEST meat sources of the World. (They were a real problem here too). Very lean and tasty. When you have lemons, you make Lemonade. Don't be sour about it ! Dollars to be made there. Not only the meat, but the velvet too. I LOVE your "FARMFOX". (Brilliant name considering ......) The "Tax man" probably thinks you purchased an expensive quad buike !! Ha, Ha. It appears to go like a cut cat too ! Good to see somone trying something different with the camera angles. Many thanks for sharing. From Christchurch, New Zealand.
Thanks very much for the comment! My instructor that trained me to fly many years ago was from New Zealand. There are a few deer farms here but they only raise them for game hunters to pick one out and hunt, they call it hunt. haha. Hunters here only hunt for big bucks. No one hunts the doe for meat. So they continue to have twins each year with no predators. Farmfox has became a great farm tool to check crops. I get a much better view of the big picture. God Bless you.
Now that’s how to utilize and deep hangar or building with a narrow door! Ingenious! Nice video & beautiful Kitfox. 👍🏼
Thanks Kevin for the kind words. This was a temporary fix that has became permanent because it works so well for us. Haha
@@KitfoxPilot We sell Aviation Real Estate and that is a problem solver😜👍🏼
Your sideways hangaring is awesome!
Thanks, we like it better than putting a new door in for sure.
Love that "train system". I need to implement back at home
Wow, I saw 11. Enjoyed the Neat video. Cool flying. Like how you solved the hanger problem.
Thanks for watching Don. There sure was a herd out there. Haha
Your parallel parking skills, my good Sir, are top notch. :D
Thanks for the kind words!
Thanks for the reply. Yes too many does is a problem. We up here in Maine just started offering hunters more doe permits. Safe flying.

Thanks Mark. We didn't have a wide enough door either so we came up with this for a temporary fix. It works so good I don't want anything else now.
Nice sidewinder setup...Kitfox looking good..
Thanks for the comment! We are enjoying flying the KItfox after 2 years of building for sure!
Great looking Kit fox!!
Thanks for watching Rick!
Fellow farmer here, You are putting your skill as a pilot and your airplane to good use. Hope its a tax deduction as well.
Thanks! You saw the proof of farm use! Haha
that airplane really performs well!
Thanks Brian! Most fun airplane I've ever flown.
That was slicker than goose Sh*t!
🤣😂

We are about 15 miles south of mt vernon Il. Be glad to meet you if we aren't in the field. Hope to be done with wheat in a couple weeks.
Whatsbtgat paint scheme in the thumbnail?!
Suppose to be a monarch butterfly I believe. It's one of a kind for sure.
@@KitfoxPilot thanks for the reply. Love the videos and the plane. Can’t wait to get a build going myself. God bless!
@@jumpyman09 Keep me up on your build when you get started. Be glad to help you out if I can.
Hi Harlan, 706 here's my #. Had to break it up 315 so UA-cam jerks wouldn't censor it. 8539. Let's see if this works
I sent you a text.
your welsome you are still a fieldrat type genius.my old way was more will e coyote type ideas tried using the acme ones and they just blewup
great idea on pulling the plane in and out of your hanger/shop i copied your idea for my stearmans works perfect you sir are a fieldrat type genius
Thanks for the kind words!

Haha. We did this as a temporary fix til I could build a bigger door. After getting the dolly we are set, no bigger door needed! Thanks for watching!
Hopefully it’s open to hunting, definitely would help with population control. Beautiful plane👍

What a beautiful Kitfox and strip you have there Sir!! Great video. That Kitfox will come on out of there. Very Impressive!!
Thanks Scott!

Nice flying! I’ve noticed your exhaust pipe is a bit longer. Is that to protect the Oratex fabric?

Great Job, Farmers are the lifeblood of this country. Thank you for doing what you do.
Thank you for the kind words.
Cool content Harlan! You might have to put Duke out there on Deer patrol! 🐕
He would love chasing deer for sure Stu!
Cool dolly, love the kitfox, if you were closer I'd offer to help reduce your deer problem. :)
Thanks.We only have trophy hunters here. No one hunt doe for meat. We feed them good!
@@KitfoxPilot That's too bad, does taste better.
Here you go, some camera ideas from Trent.... ua-cam.com/video/Y6Al2Q8njzc/v-deo.html
