As many of you know.. We (Kitfox Aircraft) do not normally attend Sun-n-Fun and haven't for many years. Well here is the update just posted on the web and will be released Monday.

Kitfox Going to Sun ‘n Fun!

Surprise! Earlier this year, we announced that Kitfox would not be able to participate in the big air shows of early 2014. Our large backlog of orders is good news for us but bad news when it comes to sending resources to the spring season air shows. But just a few days ago, we received a call from the U.S. distributer for Rotax® engines with an offer we just couldn’t refuse. They asked if we could display our newest Kitfox S7 Super Sport at the independent Rotax® Service and Training Centre booth (SE-014 at the main entrance) at Sun ‘n Fun this year, as a means of demonstrating the long time support Rotax® has provided to both the kit plane and S-LSA end of the light aircraft market. As one of the most experienced users of the Rotax 9 series engines and manufacturer of both kit and S-LSA airframes using the Rotax® engines, we were honored to be selected as the company to represent Rotax® use in recreational aircraft.

I am expected to leave our Idaho factory location on March 25, allowing time for meetings with Rotax® staff and a briefing on important announcements that are expected from the Rotax® side of the house. While production issues are still of the highest priority, John commented, “Should I consider it a compliment if my team says they can do just fine without me at the plant? Seriously, we have taken a good look at the production line and this trip will not impact deliveries. The opportunity to support our good friends at Rotax® is just too good to pass up. We hope our Kitfox family will stop by and say hello. We may have some surprises to announce and I look forward to greeting folks in person.”
