Looking good Gary, you are nearing the halfway point! I really like the spring assist after I put it on. If you are...

Fred Williams is most known as a Kitfox flight instructor but he is also an LSA AI/AM and might be willing to travel to...

maybe you should go flying today.

Thanks, I'll put a post on rotax-owner and see if I Can find anything. Even though a kitfox is home built, it's still...

Performance in the Avid is not what I get from the Kitfox 4 with the 80 HP 912. If you look at my youtube channel, I...

Thanks all. Appreciate the comments.
