      Yes, he just earned his IFR ticket and he is now a better pilot than his Dad! I hope this inspires other young pilots.

    Awesome video !! I found a KIT FOX 4 1200 in a barn !! A Barn Finder !! bought it for $4,500 with the trailer too.
    I have dreamed of this for a long time. I only wished, and hoped, for something to happen. And it did !! fell right in to my lap, I wasn't even looking for it LOL !! Love the name Cramer !! Where are you based at ?? I'm in reno nevada.
    I don't even fly lol !! NOW WHAT ?? I'm a proud owner of a KIT FOX 4 !! I've only had it for a few weeks. Lots of Red tape involved thanks for video, It has inspired me to keep moving forward !!

    Trey! I don’t know you all that well... but you are the man! Very impressive w/ a belated congrats. One thing though, roosters can’t fly. Also, I’ve heard that real pilots don’t pee.

      Roosters can fly

      There are other UA-cams of flying chickens.
      And no hanger is complete without one of these:

    Hola. Recién veo el video. Felicitaciones. El sonido del motor es una sinfonía. Una pregunta....que tipo de reductor usas ya que veo 4.000 RPM en el despegue.

    The engine and gearbox were made by NSI. The gearbox is about 2.3-1 ratio. Here is a link to the engine video:

    Sounds great. What kind of cruise speed do you get out of her?

    • @cramersclassics
      @cramersclassics  5 років тому

      Hi Roger, cruise is about 95 MPH at 4000 RPM based on airspeed indicator and GPS. About 4 GPH.
