    Congrats on getting it there. Your plane looks very nice.

    If you changed the red color to green you could put a Packers emblem on it. I still can't believe the Packers beat Detroit the other night on the last play. I'm a Michigander and was cheering for Detroit.

    (I'm a Packer's season ticket holder… I can't believe their entire season! )


    I'm still clinging to the idea of flying it before the end of the year.

    Nice pics! It's December though, where's the white stuff? Glad you had good weather for the move though.

    Also, all due respect to Dave, but why isn't your mug in some of the shots? Pretty soon he's going to be taking all the credit for the project.

    Yeah, beautiful here today.

    Dave does deserve a lot of the credit. He's been very helpful throughout this project! Besides, I don't want to scare people off with photos of me...

    I see a "Kitfox of the month" for sure... really nice looking bird, Larry! And it sounds like it's gonna' be a real performer too. Speaking of "Kitfox of the month" I wish guys would stop being so humble & submit some of these beautiful airplanes for this honor. I'd love to see pictures and a write up on the builder and the features of his Kitfox. I've sure seen a lot of beautiful Kitfoxes in the short time that I've been a builder of one. This is a special one, Larry!

    Yesterday I saw Larry's new (rebuilt) Kitfox. Seeing it in person, I can tell you the pictures we've all seen don't do it any justice. It looks even better up close! And I absolutely love the mods he did, and really hope he will take the time to explain in detail all of that for a Kitfox of the month writeup.

    But I'm sure that his priority is getting it in the air. I can hardly wait to hear how it performs with that Zipper kit and that monstrous prop. I'll be surprised if it is anything less than awesome. I think he is going to have the best combination between mega STOL and an airplane you can still go places with. His strip at his house is pretty tight, but I think his new Fox is optimized for places like that.

    Congrats Larry on a beautiful job, and on that runway you always talked about having at your house. You've hit most aviators dream... (that's a picture of a bunch of us, green with envy...)
