Re: Australian Kitfoxers out there?
HI Dave. your welcome re the lights - they may have new versions now but I suspect whatever Kitfox are offering is pretty up to date.
And yes, I was a bit surprised by the few responses this thread - when I started my build thread quite a few came out of the woodwork. Maybe that will be the case when you start your build.
I didn't mean to discourage you from posting on the other blogs - just thought we were starting to have an 'off-topic' chat on Steve;s thread.
Anyway, preparing to fly up to Narromine later this week -weather permitting.
Hope you are enjoying the flying. I think I remember John Mc explaining the Eurofox relationship to tKitfox (lack of..) but I think that you have pretty well picked up the differences.
I look forward to introducing you to RMQ soon!
cheers

Re: Australian Kitfoxers out there?
Ross, so ive ordered the Nav lights and strobes. Still umming and ahring about the landing lights... Ie whether to embed them in the wing tips, wing leading edge or lower engine cowl. I'll make that decision later. Either way, they'll be LED's.:rolleyes:

Re: Australian Kitfoxers out there?
Excellent Dave. Are you planning on Night flying or just using them for recognition? Either way, the wing tips come molded with a spot for the combined landing/wig wags and have a perspex cover - pretty good spot for them. Here is a pic them operating in wig wag mode - pretty impressively bright!
cheers

PS going up to OZKosh Dave?
Re: Australian Kitfoxers out there?
I may as well chime in here if you're looking for replies. I actually met Ross and Gayle a while ago at the Back to Holbrook fly in, where I unofficially voted their Kitfox best in show. Thanks again Ross for letting me have a sit in your plane and dream for a bit! I'm an Aussie kitfox enthusiast but unfortunately my bank account won't let me put in an order for one yet :( just have to keep dreaming till then. By the sounds of it though it might be worth the drive to mt beauty to see all the bush planes come together. Sounds more exciting than 172s doing the same circuit over and over again here at Latrobe Valley. :D
Cheers, Kane.
Re: Australian Kitfoxers out there?
HI Kane,
good to hear from you! It would be great if you can make it up to Mt Beauty in Nov for the flying and keep the dream alive - dreams to come true!
cheers
