Lead Time for New S7 kit?

[JohnHolman]

Does anyone know the current lead time for a newly-ordered S7 Kit?
If ordered now, when would a kit be available?

Thanks & Merry Christmas to all!

Last I heard its over a year. If you look in classified there is a kit reservation for August 2020.

Congrats guys on your order placements. Well worth the wait but as Tom Petty sang, “the waiting is the hardest part”.

[Hawkertech]

Tell me about it

[VictorV]

Any idea why they are shipping so far out?

[GuppyWN]

Because it’s a small business with fairly high demand.

Great Product, Great Customer Service, A lot of planes completed, Excellent build manual. Oh, and a Great community on this Builder Forum.

Bumped this to see if there is more up-to-date info out there on lead times as of NOV2020. Sounds like it was 18 months this time last year. Any idea if/how it's changed? I imagine the current state of the world isn't helping speed things up. Thanks!

I placed my SS7 order a week ago and the projected delivery date is April 2022.

Hi all, back in Sept I contacted kitfox to ask this exact question and yes told it would be over a year or so. I decided to post in the forum, " looking for model 4 project" and with some luck ,patients and THE FORUM, a fine gentleman from Alaska contacted me to offer to sell me his model 4 project. Feel very fortunate to have a project so quickly coming my way! I guess this is the problem when demand exceeds supply:(! On a good note, what that say about kitfox?
Cheers!

That's awesome, and congrats! Fortunately, I'm not in a situation to start anytime soon. I've got about two years left of grad school, after which I intend to start building, so an 18 month lead time works pretty well for me. Gives me a solid 6 months of planning and research before cutting a check!

Very happy for you as well as planning for such an incredible project like building a kitfox is not a bad thing. All the best in your lead time before you have your kit!
