First flight in rebuilt Kitfox 1

[avidflyer]

Hi all, I picked up this Kitfox 1 last fall, that needed a bit of work. Got it ship shape and made the first flights for me with it this evening. Here is a lousy utube video showing the first flight I did. Enjoy! Jim Chuk

Really nice. I like the classic look of the classics. I also appreciate keeping the heritage alive.

Congrats!.....looks like you made good use of the last 7 minutes of daylight!

An important day in the life of a builder!

Great job Jim!! Thank you for sharing your flight with us!

Thanks guys. I don't remember if I ever posted this info when I first got the plane or not, but will do it now. Someone wrote up a magazine article about this plane, the copy I got with the plane looks like a kitplanes magazine article but doesn't have any advertising on the pages. I think Kitfox used it a part of their sales brochure. Anyway, here it is. Interesting bit of history anyway. Jim Chuk

Pretty cool part of history, Jim.

Jim, that article sure reminded me of the decisions/experiences I went through before I purchased my first Kitfox. Picked up my kit at the Nampa factory Dec.21/89. Dan Denny gave me my first ride in the Fox demonstrator, and the second photo, shows my kit, loaded for the ride home to Calgary.
