    Default JohnB's beautiful Kitfox in EAA Sport Aviation.

    John, I just picked up my latest issue of Sport Aviation and saw your write up in "What Our Members Are Building" section. Happy to see a Kitfox in there again.
    You did an incredible job building your Kitdox. That award went to a most worthy recipient.
    Enjoy every flight.

    To see it in person at Osh was unbelievable. Will see it in the publication when I get it.

    Thanks!
    Building and flying this plane truly has been a dream come true.

    I've been out in the shop doing its annual condition inspection and after 235 hours of fun flying, everything still looks great. Can't wait to get back in the air. Now if our crazy Michigan weather would just cooperate...

    Hadn't bothered opening the magazine until I saw this thread. Fall colors, cord wood stacked and a Kitfox to play with.

    Congratulations John.

    These kind of Kitfox examples that get around and are seen by many and win awards, makes all of us in the Kitfox community very proud.

    John,

    Gorgeous plane!

    Our EAA chapter at the Mettetal airport 1D2 recently hosted a fly in. Were you by any chance there? There was a beautiful Kitfox, which looked very much like the plane in the magazine, if I remember correctly,

    I wanted to talk with the pilot, but missed him.

    Yes, we did stop in for some delicious Chili.
    We were very impressed with your setup and beautiful chapter hanger. We'll have to stop in again some time.

    Just a lovely airplane. No telling how many builders will choose Kitfox after seeing one like that.
