New here, Big Fan, I think?
I have been a Kitfox fan (even though I have never actually seen one in person) since the mid 90's. By then I had been flying RC for 20 years and so wanted to build a Kitfox. Then I got my license in '96 and all the cool crowd was flying RV4's at my airport. So I got my tailwheel endorsement in a J3 and finished one of the first RV8's in 1999. But now.... Back to thinking sell the RV and get a Kitfox. But, wow, you guys don't seem to want to sell them!

Re: New here, Big Fan, I think?
why would you sell the rv8. I have an rv7 and I wouldn't sell that. I also have the Kitfox 4, I don't want to sell that either.

Got bored with it actually. I only ever really wanted to just fly around with the doors open on a nice summer evening. Don't travel so don't need to go 200 mph. Yank and bank was fun though. Not sure what direction I will end up doing.

It is hard to find late model kitfoxes for sale, so why not build yourself a Kitfox? If you already have built an RV8 you certainly have the skills to do a Kitfox in jig time.

Definitely checked that option, can't justify the cost of all new. besides, i'm old and lazy now.

Shoot, if we were closer in proximity, we could trade airplanes once in a while and have the best of both worlds! Bruce N199CL
