George McCaig ...please join SocialFlight on You Tube! We'll get you in the air if you're in the U. S. !!! We'll all help you fly if you wanna go up! Heck, I'll go up in anything (except the Ford Tri-motor) sorry guys... You may not be PIC, but you'll be flying! My 92 yr. neighbor goes open door Huey chopper flying with us! 💖
George McCaig... I believe SocialFlight is worldwide...plus U can watch a plane being built in his dining room & living room. hahaha! (our kind of people) I'm just south of you a bit...freezing alot! We'll dream of flying a lot this coming summer...but check for events near your area! Best Wishes! 💗
Sorry if I'm hitting a sore subject here. I wanted to be a pilot when I was a kid. Life happens things got in the way, I even let people talk me out of it. After meeting a real flight instructor in a VR flight simulator who encourage me to pursue my dream I've gone all-in. You may have some limitations because of your age. But it's not too late to get in the air. Find a flying Club close to you and ask for a discovery flight. As long as you have a safety pilot most of the them will let you take the controls for a while. Live the dream. I'm trying my best to do the same.
Trent, I’m an “armchair” pilot wannabe. After flying Flight Simulator on my PC for years, my wife rented me one hour in the pilot seat of a WWII Texas T6 Trainer up here in Minnesota 20 years ago. A dream come true for me! It was euphoric! After that, simulator flying lost its appeal for me - I guess because no simulator software could ever compare to that flight. I flew a real WWII plane! I even had to strap on a real parachute! Not a day goes by without me thinking of that day. Recently found your channel on UA-cam and now I fly vicariously through you. I really enjoy your delivery on these videos. Excellent stuff! Thank you for giving me back some flying fun. Keep flying! I’ll keep watching!
@@CowboyDRT it really does. I've hated flying my entire life and my grandpa killed himself flying a bush plane (in a snow storm), but watching these videos still makes me want to give it a try
Nice update Trent. You can tell how excited you are about it. It is really nice to see Kitfox coming in and helping out and working with on this one. I feel like that is what GA is all about. Friends helping friends, and making new ones in the process! So if you are reading this Kitfox, legends! Good luck on getting it all buttoned up guys!
Wow, the Freedom Fox will be virtually a new airplane ! Crazy cool upgrades front to back. Your friends and support group are off the chart and ya know what, couldn’t happen to a better guy. Thanks Trent for sharing your story. It’s been a blast !
You got me into flying dude, your videos have been so awesome I went straight to the nearest aeroclub and started learning how to fly for a month now. Thank you for that! Cheers from France!
Trent, your videos (and some from the other Flying Cowboys) have gotten me back in the air - after 25 years of not flying. Finishing my PPL within 1-2 months. Then I’ll be ordering a Kitfox 7 SS kit. Thanks for the inspiration! The Freedom Fox looks amazing with those improvements.
OMG Trent,,,,,,, !!!!! Way to go buddy. I / we , all your followers were oh so curious as to your progress!! Thanks man for the short but sweet update!! I bet you and your crew have been drinking coffee by the fricken gallons!!! Lots of long hours involved as well as trying to fit some kind of family time in there as well!! It is a God send to have a understanding bride for sure!! Good luck my friend with all involved!! As always Trent; Fly Low,,, Fly Safe,,, G-Man
Trent, great job on the script and editing as this was a great update on light n balance. Loved the heavy battery kicked into the back. Bring um on. Great stage presence on camera. Thanks. Mark
Man your videos always are the highest quality and professionally edited. Thanks for the update, the Freedom Fox looks amazing, can't wait to see her done.
Awesome job to everyone on the project. You can tell Nick that I just dubbed him his new call sign. With those classes that he wears he is now known as the MAD DOCTOR.
WOW! I thought the 915 iS was a complete financial stretch, so, my jaw dropped again when you opened with the CF cowling rough fit to the front! I couldn't help but notice the new CF dashboard, and, completely new holes for a NEW glass instrument panel! I gonna pass out from excitement here, Trent! I'm gonna have to retain a nurse just to watch your videos if you keep this up- I'm a friggin' heart attack risk at this point. It had been so long between videos, I thought you stopped flying altogether, and, took up basket weaving, needlepoint, or crossword puzzles though. (You did warn that it would be a bit before an update- I'm so old, occasionally I forget my name- glad I'm subscribed- YT remembers for me!) Your wife is a SAINT, and, I've contacted the Church to start the canonization process ASAP. With the house underway, I'm really glad that she's on board- it's HUGE that you have & keep her support. Heck, she deserves: a praise filled video, a trip, a big gift (No, Trent- you are NOT the gift!)- along with WHATEVER she wants for new house- without argument. It's like a new plane: new lighting, new instruments, new 'right sized' wheels, new CF pieces/parts- if you wanted a Carbon Cub, it might of been cheaper. (That's a joke, Corey & Kevin). Great friends, lots of helpful/ talented hands, and, the Kitfox crew stepping up- way above and beyond the call- genuinely exciting stuff. Can't wait 'til you get this bird in the air again, and, like everyone else- hoping you make the Sierra fly in- fingers crossed! Flying vicariously through you, wicked jealous of your good fortune, and, super stoked about it all! Please try to get some vids posted up tho- the wait is killing me!
No need to apologize man, knowing how long it takes to film and edit, especially with the quality you produce. Needless to say; the wait was worth it. Thanks for the update.
Can't wait to see your vlog from the HSF. That was an epic way for it all to go down. The Freedom Fox was so cool to see in person and it was great to meet you and everyone else who made it this year :)
You are raising the bar high for all future KitFox builds. Thanks for the quick update. It is like leaving a trail of bread crumbs. Each one is leading up to a entire years worth of take offs and landings from all your favorite spots and then some. Great news for all that subscribe, I can't wait. This is sure to be topped off with great performance reviews. Congrats on your second place finish to Draco at the High Sierra Fly-In, this is actually a first place in anyones book except Mike's...Looked like good times. Enjoy
I was saving up for a Riddle Marine jet boat. Now the piggy fund is going towards a Kitfox IV. I’m glad they treat you so well Trent. Your videos are pure Kitfox plane porn. I have flown in cubs quite a bit but the side by side seating and made in Idaho have me convinced Kitfox is for me. Thank you, keep up the good work.
Thank's so much for the Update!! Living vicariously through these videos of this wicked litttle plane!! As always be careful stay Happy strong and Healthy We need you showing us the possibilities of life!! #FansofTheFreedomFox
Nice Job. Seeing it grow, next to the planing, ordering stuff is such an awesome feeling. I totally geht you, spending so much time till the middle of the night. Time just flies when you're doing fun stuff, especially when you are on a deadline. I'm really looking forward for your next Video and congrats for your second place at High Sierra!
Trent, super jealous. I would be very torn with showing off all that carbon fiber, but the Freedom Fox's paint scheme is just too good. Thanks for the update!
Awesome Trent, love the videos!! Keep up the good work. Man that looks like quite a project, just the sort of thing id love to be helping at if i lived closer.
Wow look at you!!!!!! looks like your getting one sweet plain (which it already was) big kudos to your friends for helping and kit fox for the same. I love the videos. Mike
Wow!!! Knowing the outcome it is really impressive to see the work and effort you put in. Can't wait for the next episode and really interested in your thoughts on flight characteristic changes you feel with the motor change. Not so much the HP, which is a given, but with the weight and balance and overall handling difference. Give us some numbers too!
Cant wait to see the performance gain! Very excited! I don't know why, but I'm partial to steam gauges..........maybe because that's what I learned on............plus you don't have to pay for software updates. Then again, always had to pay for new charts. 6 one way half dozen the other.
Yes! Glad to see an update! We thought we saw the #FreedomFox taking off out of Homedale the other day! Keep it up! Get it done! Best wishes Trent! We would love to meet up and get to shake your hand! I'm 20 min from the kitfox shop!
Trent, I am 87, have never been a pilot (and obviously won’t become one now😏) but I’m thoroughly enjoying your videos, and adventures. Thank you.

You have worked really hard making all these videos. As being a unoffical spokesman for kitfox, you are the single reason I will be buying my fox
That's why they give him the cool stuff! So he can show us and we want to buy it haha
It works
@@CowboyDRT it really does. I've hated flying my entire life and my grandpa killed himself flying a bush plane (in a snow storm), but watching these videos still makes me want to give it a try

Thanks for taking the time to give us an update. Really glad to see things are moving forward with the “Cub Killer” project.
That carbon cowlings are gorgeous! Work of art!!!

Jack Holley Good for you Jack. The Kitfox is such a life changing aircraft. We look forward to you joining the Kitfox family.
This is a very special episode!! Love this 'show'!! Please keep flying, filming and letting us be your wingman!! Love from SA 🇿🇦
You won't know yourself when it's all wrapped up and done. Love the carbon fiber upgrades.

I'm not surprised the Kitfox factory is helping you out. I can't imagine a better brand ambassador than you. Nicely done!

David C. Gulliver , I too thought something bad had happened !!
Soooo cool that everyone is helping out. Great job Trent
Please never change your intro. I love it!
2 Months from now:
"Alright guys it is finally time to start operation DRACO killer! We're putting a brand new PT6 Turboprop on the Freedom Fox!"
After that 2nd place finish in stol drags, he might be inspired lol
I would die if he actually did that😂
LMAO
So would the airframe.
LOL!

Hey Trent, passed my private checkride 2 days ago. Thanks for all the inspiration.
4:55 This is approaching a Mike Patey level of work ethic :-)
Great time with friends and planes....what else can you ask for? Keep up the work Trent, almost there!
Wow what an upgrade this will be the super Freedom Fox. That crew at Kitfox deserves a medal an awesome crew. Looking forward for the new videos.
Love the music ... oh, yes, and the Freedom Fox too!

I’m stoked to see the final product
That is awesome man I’m very excited to see this project finished through

Don
Glad it all worked out in time for HSF, great performance! It will be good to see in more detail how it all unfolded!

Awesome Trent, love the videos!! Keep up the good work. Man that looks like quite a project, just the sort of thing id love to be helping at if i lived closer.
Wow look at you!!!!!! looks like your getting one sweet plain (which it already was) big kudos to your friends for helping and kit fox for the same. I love the videos. Mike
Yes, it will be worth the time and energy.
Full upgrade, sweet. Great work!
Super exciting, can't wait for the next episode. This is as exciting as the Draco build series.

Moira O'Brien z

Helloo Trent, was wondering about you, but thanks for the update, and I can't wait to see the final product!..bet it will be awesome!..thanks..
This is going to be epic! Can't wait to see it fly. Congrats Trent! 💕
Good to hear from you, been a while, looks good
Wow!!! Knowing the outcome it is really impressive to see the work and effort you put in. Can't wait for the next episode and really interested in your thoughts on flight characteristic changes you feel with the motor change.

Cant wait to see the performance gain! Very excited! I don't know why, but I'm partial to steam gauges..........maybe because that's what I learned on............plus you don't have to pay for software updates. Then again, always had to pay for new charts. 6 one way half dozen the other.
Can't wait to see it's done
Waiting waiting waiting........ Looking good Trent!
Great video love the new upgrades to your aircraft
Looking sharp, I just thought I would mention that I bought a Mavic Pro 2 due to your input on this site now I have to learn how to fly it
Awesome update man, good to see things are going well. Fingers crossed for an on time finish.
Sweet man. I just passed my check ride a week ago, now I have to start thinking about what to fly. ✈
Can't wait to see the cub killer freedom fox fly. Keep the videos coming Trent.
Freedom Fox lookin' sick! Can't wait for the finished walk around!
Trent, totally worth the wait. Awesome update. Carbon is amazing. See you in the skies!
wow an arm pump in the first few seconds of the video Mike P. would be proud " back to work"
I reckon this is going to be an awesome plane when it is finished. Hope that you get it all done in time for high Sierra
Yes! Glad to see an update! We thought we saw the #FreedomFox taking off out of Homedale the other day! Keep it up! Get it done! Best wishes Trent! We would love to meet up and get to shake your hand! I'm 20 min from the kitfox shop!
