    I recognize a couple of them from the old original Kitfox Email list group. The orange classic 4 on floats and the series 5 with the checkered tail.

    Hey Tom,
    That Fox with the checkered tail is actualy a new 7ss built by
    Chuck and Bev here in AZ. Chuck and Bob Meyer flew their
    new model 7ss to Osh from Chandler this year. Wish i could
    have gone with them.

    Tom, I'll be 81 this year so I know what you mean. I remember that model 5 well, they did a great job! Laura bent that tall skinny gear and I think that helped the decision to only offer the present gear.

    I'm finishing a 7SS and starting a model 1, are you flying the 503 to McCall this year? Like to see you again
