I'm still in the researching phase of my aircraft building project.

I'm looking at Kitfox (among others) to fulfill some needs that I have:

1. Inexpensive to own/operate
2. EASY folding wings (12' x 12' door)
3. STOL capability (I have my own ~1000' grass/snow strip)
4. History – Kitfoxes are a known thing, there are many flying examples



I'd like to know why you chose to build/buy/whatever a Kitfox airplane. Was there an extensive list of qualities that it filled in your application? What were some of your alternatives and why did a Kitfox work better for you?


Thanks in advance.
