    I’ve seen this plane in person. This is a beautiful plane built by two great guys. Great to see things happening in Nor Cal.

    It's definitely nice to see other Kitfox's out there and the new ideas. Gives me the encouragement to keep going on mine.

    I love this stuff. That plane is just gorgeous. Their approach to a project (doesn't matter what it is) by looking at what others have done and making it better is the way I go about things. Thanks for sharing Bryan. Can't wait to see you post video's of you all getting together on the next fly in some place.

    Great to here other builders confirm my experience building
    a massive amount of time on research, takes longer them you expected, cost more than you expected, but a great feeling when finished!

    Nice to see someone tackle the painting themselves. Saw a guy with a rv12 spend 30000 on his paint and didn’t look any better than that one

    Bryan - thanks and YES!!!! We are interested in builds. Big time. You should encourage your viewers to document their builds as well. The step by step document MAJORLY helps. It’s everything. That has more power to sell Kitfoxes than anything. And yes INNOVATION. I am an engineer so I eat breathe and sleep innovative solutions for problems. THANK YOU for your awesome vids. Pretty cool!!! I’m sure Mike Patey would love this

    Great post thanks Brian, I guess I'm like a fair amount of people who whatch your posts for the builds and plane tech rather than the sort of posts from some other aero guys with everything but plane stuff. So thanks nd keep up the stuff thats 'Key flying content for your channel'

    This probably they best kitfox I have ever seen. The paint is on another level. I think 2 colors is hard. These guys did the impossible. Resale is probably over 200k.

    • @Jason-Black
      @Jason-Black 10 місяців тому

      It shouldn't be, and we know of several planes locally here that are all black. It gets hot in this part of California (regularly over 105 in the summer), so we're about to find out!

    What sucks is how incredibly expensive these aircraft have become...10 years ago i could have easily have slid into one of these but now its about impossible and for what your getting i could just drive to Yakima and grab a Carbon Cub

      Never tried, but I don’t think the oil system would lend itself to inverted flight.

      Hi Glenn. We have five flights in the books so far and a few squawks to address before the next one. It flies really well and is an incredibly fun plane.
