1991 Kitfox II
at the airport before bringing it home.  5 gallon header tank has been removed today. Will be using the wing tanks for now.  Panel, for those of you who are observant the altimeter shows below sea level. Shop messed up the calibration at the last annual. It has been re calibrated today.  It came home on the trailer yesterday evening. It is now sitting in my yard behind the trailer. Work on it has been completed and it will be going to the airport in the morning. New weight and balance finished after making a few changes in it. As it came home yesterday.  It is off the trailer with the wings out now but will be reloaded soon. Will be flying it tomorrow. Have to get the 20 hours in to satisfy the insurance company before I take a passenger. |

Kitfox is a neat plane. Not very roomy for "over-standard" pilots, but fun to fly.
A friend hired me to fly his to Casper Co., WY after a very extensive check-out in it (7 hours); took 24 and change flight hours at 85 knots  according to my logs.

My second flight in it is now history. A fun little plane. Starting to feel more familiar with it.
Back in the hanger next to the Aerotrek A220  |

Pardon my ignorance, but what are the flap looking things behind the trailing edge of the wings? And nice plane OP, looks fun.

But, if you do put in a HF rig and go air mobile, I promise to spot you on internet.

But did it have 65 hp and was it able to fly from 29 to 85 mph? I haven't heard the answer? Are you buying me a KX3 for the plane?

Quote HistoryQuoted:
A close second is wringing out a Citabria. Rolls, loops, stalls and spins are fun too. Never tried it in a Pitts. If your Pitts is a S2 you may be able to convince me to ride along so you can prove that I am wrong. Quote HistoryQuoted:
