Man, you've messed my head up with all these videos... mandated downtime has me rediscovering this old passion for airplanes. That was all fine-and-dandy until I found your videos and learned how awesome Kitfox is (the plane and the company). So yeah... now I gotta have one!
Sweet! Good karma coming back at you. Very cool of John to do that! Nothing like new interior work. I need to finish my inside and strip and paint the outside.
Nice touches there Trent,wonderful hospitality from the Kit Fox factory too,we love your videos and this one is no exception,happy landings and take offs too.
Great video for me to see what my interior is going to be like and helps me with my build. Scott is a real cool lad, he should do more videos spraying fields , I enjoyed them.
Very cool vid ... John seems like a great guy and a fun flying buddy. Really like the vib from the Kitfox folks. 👍 Forgot to mention ... love the upgrades!
That was an amazing transformation. Something so simple, but wow, what a difference! It was definitely time. Happy for you. Any ideas on what your next “upgrade” may be?
Was expecting this video..... Thought I saw you coming out of the canyon headed toward Homedale. We were goofing off just west of the Boise practice area, on FF with Big Sky approach and got a traffic call for an intermittent target, over the river. Looked over and saw two kitfoxes, one yellow and one red, white and blue. Well, red, white and blue as best i could tell at 2 miles and with glare. Told approach it was a flight of two kitfoxes and commented to the right seat “wonder if Trent is up here visiting kitfox”
So when I buy my used Kitfox I should take it to Kitfox and ask for the Trent Palmer Upgrade. That would really be a good marketing strategy for Kitfox. Lets see, I want the Trent Palmer reinforced Muffler, The Trent Palmer Reinforced Seats, the Trent Palmer reinforced propeller, the Trent Palmer Camera System...... All autographed by Trent Palmer. No kidding, I think the stuff would fly off the shelf.
As an airline captain with almost 7000 hours under my belt flying big jets. This channel makes me want to ditch everything and just fly around at 10 feet all day long! :D fantastic channel Trent!
I love to watch you guys and it’s gotten me wanting to finally get my license and a STOL plane within the next couple of years, and hopefully one day I can fly out from Ga and hang out with y’all for a day of flying. My wife has already started giving me hell about the idea as expected. Lmao
Hi trent. There is a cool ww2 a aircraft wreckage in the hills about 5 miles nw of denio. Might be worth a fly over next time. Also a very good hot spring west of denio about 5 miles called bog hot. Worth a stop. Keep up the vids
I know the round cowling is a Kitfox trademark but that would have to be my first mod. I think the smooth cowl looks soooo much better. No faux radials for me.
I know you are super high on the ROTAX 912 and 915is motors. Just ran across Viking Aircraft Engines utilizing Honda 130HP engine retrofits. Looking at this seriously when I decide on aircraft.....probably Kitfox. Can you point me to anyone w/ experience on this.
Hey Sean and John. At a big airport like LA I know that at times the taxi is extensive and the departure queue is long. Given those circumstances how much fuel would you use from start-up to wheels up?
I can see why Kitfox takes great care of you. Your the best free advertisement I've seen. You've got me shopping for one. Can you buy one to train and get your pilot's license or do you have to learn in a certified airplane since money is changing hands?
Make friends at the local EAA chapter. You will likely find some CFIs who are members and/or someone who knows a CFI comfortable teaching in an experimental.
Sheeze dude, when were you in Homedale? I was flying with Scott's Dad (my uncle) and did a touch and go at Homedale a few days ago and we were talking about you.
My end goal is something like a Helio Courier so the wife and dogs can travel with me, but as I don't even have a license yet... Your experiences with KitFox is swaying me to get one to start with.
Tell the folks at Kitfox that the marketing is working, totally considering that plane now.
I will second that.
me 2
Same. Was looking at the Bushcat until I came across these video's. Kitfox is in my future
Dixie Lough pp
Same.
Best video. Tells the tale of experimental aviation being so accessible and that flying somewhere for lunch with a friend makes for a great day.
“I don’t know where I’m at”, I couldn’t stop chuckling dude! Been there, done that. Keep up the great flying!
Man, you've messed my head up with all these videos... mandated downtime has me rediscovering this old passion for airplanes. That was all fine-and-dandy until I found your videos and learned how awesome Kitfox is (the plane and the company). So yeah... now I gotta have one!
I am as happy as you are about the upgrade I know you will enjoy , I enjoy watching thanks!
I don't know why this has become one's of my favorite vlog
Thanks man!
Yeah, you do, because it has the most immersive flying! ; )
Thanks for the ride! It put a smile on my face for today.
You're excitement got me excited, and it's not even my plane. They seem like a great company to have on your friends list.
Sweet! Good karma coming back at you. Very cool of John to do that! Nothing like new interior work. I need to finish my inside and strip and paint the outside.

Trent what a treat! Looks good, brother! Happy flying (and sleeping) in the new seats.
Favorite ending to the vlog. John is hilarious
Wow I am feeling the love. Sweet upgrade.
Yeah Kitfox is getting good advertising here. Love this plane.
Looks great! Excellent upgrade.
Congratulations on your upgrades. Sick plane you got yourself!
I’m getting that one. 915 sti. I gotta get my certificate first.. I’m pumped.
Really nice upgrades I'm sure you will enjoy for a long time.
She is looking sooooo good now. Almost spilled my coffee over the keyboard at that ending ... best video's on UA-cam dude!
Very cool vid ... John seems like a great guy and a fun flying buddy. Really like the vib from the Kitfox folks. 👍
Forgot to mention ... love the upgrades!
The new interior is amazing. Glad I got to see it first hand!!
That was an amazing transformation. Something so simple, but wow, what a difference! It was definitely time. Happy for you. Any ideas on what your next “upgrade” may be?
A new motor... it’ll make sense soon 😳😉
You have amazing adventures!!! I wish I could do what you and your friends do! Keep up the great job!!
So sick, I would love to get into flying one day.
What a nice interior upgrade Trent. Plane looks awesome.
Thanks man!
Love the custom seats!
Was that a crew car from the FBO? Love it
Man, Trent... Awesome guy... John, well I will simply say.... I want one... Keep up the great vids Trent... Learning so much!
Wow Trent new interior is sick
They love you Trent!
Awesome interior upgrade!!! Always love your videos!!!
Damn that plane is even nicer than I thought after seeing it on flight test, sick plane dude and awesome footage 👍
Thanks man!
Super funny! Thanks Trent! Another great video!
Great Videos! I can't stop watching. I'm like 10 videos in and sold on this plane.
Great, now when I go to John and tell him what all the cool upgrades I want on mine, he'll say I'm sorry we only do that for Trent Palmer.
😜

Haha, that was definitely us!! Small world!
Wow, didn't realize how much it needed it, but that interior upgrade is sick!
I didnt either until I was editing the footage after the new seats were in, huge improvement!
Agreed!
Awesome! Us Idaho guys need those.
Awesome Trent, great video!

One of the best videos you’ve done!
Badass upgrades. Awesome. Looks great.
You guys are funny Trent... Keep the videos coming dude we all love them. I hope it is bump up Kitfox sales for the McBeans!!!
So sweet! So clean!
That canyon shot was fantastic
Gorgeous plane,you’re a lucky dude! Thanks for the vids!
Build videos are the best.
wonder if a 3rd set would fit back there
This plane is just sick !!
hahahaha, feels like a cub when your sitting on the push/pull tubes
😝
Love the Public Landowner shirt.
New to your videos. But, already love them! Keep'em coming!
Now THAT was a sweet interior upgrade!
I live in Vale oregon how the heck did I not see you guys. Chavelitas is the go too lunch spot.
As an airline captain with almost 7000 hours under my belt flying big jets. This channel makes me want to ditch everything and just fly around at 10 feet all day long! :D fantastic channel Trent!
What a great video....thanks.
Looking Awesome .......
Trent now you will have to get WeatherTech car/airplane mats to keep the floor clean.
good idea?
I love to watch you guys and it’s gotten me wanting to finally get my license and a STOL plane within the next couple of years, and hopefully one day I can fly out from Ga and hang out with y’all for a day of flying. My wife has already started giving me hell about the idea as expected. Lmao
Hi trent. There is a cool ww2 a aircraft wreckage in the hills about 5 miles nw of denio. Might be worth a fly over next time.
Also a very good hot spring west of denio about 5 miles called bog hot. Worth a stop.
Keep up the vids
Awesome, I’ll have to check that out sometime
😂😂great ending. Love the new seats
I know the round cowling is a Kitfox trademark but that would have to be my first mod. I think the smooth cowl looks soooo much better. No faux radials for me.
Trent, your fight vlogs to go get my pilots license and hopefully buy a bush plane. Keep up the great work.
Sweet edit!!
Nice to see the 915is more and more.
Looks really good to me! :D Have fun with your new upgrade!
Interior looks awesome Trent! Are you guys heading to Oshkosh again this year?
Yep! I’ll be there!
Sweet! Hopefully we run into you!
Hey Trent. I've been curious, how did you arrange for the courtesy car at Miller airpark in Vale?
hi now i know this has nothing to do with the super nice seats u got but I'm wondring how has the retread on your wheels been.
No bueno. It’s already worn through. I’ll be doing it myself shortly with a different compound and I’ll make sure to make a video of it
I know you are super high on the ROTAX 912 and 915is motors. Just ran across Viking Aircraft Engines utilizing Honda 130HP engine retrofits. Looking at this seriously when I decide on aircraft.....probably Kitfox. Can you point me to anyone w/ experience on this.
Man that interior is sooo sexy. I can’t wait to get a Kitfox now haha
When in Homedale. One must get a "Pink Lady" at the local Drive In.
Hey Trent, why is a carbon cub so expensive???
Your storytelling gets better and better.
Cheers to making your own new smells Trent!! lol
epic as always
Hey Trent...Where’d ya get that Public Lands T-shirt?
That’s one that I make! I sell them on trentpalmer.com
Hey trent where can i find prebuilt kit fox's for sale?
Can you do some videos of drone work and how you setup your shots etc?
Yeah, it’s on my list!
Great Close
Sweet man nice.
Trent, do you have a complete run down of all mods, everything other than stock in a format you could email it?
Livin the dream!
Where are your lights tail runway?
Hey Sean and John. At a big airport like LA I know that at times the taxi is extensive and the departure queue is long. Given those circumstances how much fuel would you use from start-up to wheels up?
I can see why Kitfox takes great care of you. Your the best free advertisement I've seen. You've got me shopping for one. Can you buy one to train and get your pilot's license or do you have to learn in a certified airplane since money is changing hands?
You can buy one to train in as long as you can find an instructor who is comfortable with that
Make friends at the local EAA chapter. You will likely find some CFIs who are members and/or someone who knows a CFI comfortable teaching in an experimental.
Thanks Trent and Joshua. I'll definitely look into the local EAA chapter.
Thank you for asking this, as I was wondering as well.
Nice video!!
Hi! Great videos, thank´s. The link for the drone you are using is not working.
welding the seat tabs on is the only way to go!!
If it was me I'd have changed the seats out before the ink dried on the registration your in the plane alot you deserve to be comfortable as you play
Lamborghini in the back country.... how sweet it is.
Great looking seats and a funny ending was waiting for you to fly John’s plane is it on the next video?
Maybe... 🤓
Trent Palmer Loved this one, but can’t wait for the STi footage either. 😍
Awesome interior man. Love the carbon fiber accent
Thanks! I am really happy with how it all turned out
You should advertise on your plane set your website about location for great eats
"and they're not my smells" hahaha
Sheeze dude, when were you in Homedale? I was flying with Scott's Dad (my uncle) and did a touch and go at Homedale a few days ago and we were talking about you.
It was about a week ago
Kitfox customer service is outstanding. I want one lol
Love the videos
My end goal is something like a Helio Courier so the wife and dogs can travel with me, but as I don't even have a license yet... Your experiences with KitFox is swaying me to get one to start with.
