hi all, leaving for homedale in the morning to pick up my neighbors ss7 kit, that will be 2 kitfoxes flying and 2 kitfoxes under construction at 03nc. we will be driving and pulling a trailer. it looks like about 3 1/2 days out and 3 1/2 days back. will have the spot up if anybody would like to follow along:)

Good news! Be safe out there... there are "crazies" driving that want to do ya in!:D

[Flybyjim]

Why the long drive both ways, I understand kitfox can provide a delivery.

[jamesmil]

That's right Kitfox does a very good job of sniping kits.but just as it would be easier to buy a flying airplane to us this is part of the building experience

[Flybyjim]

Yes, you right, it is about the trip not the destination some times. How large of a enclosed trailer are you pulling?

[jamesmil]

This is bill and his son in law with the truck and trailer at our first rest stop in sc.

[Dutch]

Awsome Jim!! Just look at those Kitfox grins and they dont even have their kit yet.

looks like your making good ground ..padocah on the horizon :)

[SkyPirate]

still making good time,..speaking of time,,don't forget to turn your clock back when you park for the night

[jamesmil]

A motly crew! Just turned 2000 mi from the house.

[jamesmil]

Sorry about the Pic, I took it while we were inverted in a roll.

[War Eagle]

You might just want to increase your altitude a tad on those rolls. The ground looked a little close for my liking! ;)

Hope the rest of the trip is uneventful for you!

[jamesmil]

Fixed it. Still rolling, ran through some snow but all clear now

[jamesmil]

Loaded up and ready to head home.

[jamesmil]

It was good to see john and Debra again. This is bill and stewart with john now to get back home. It has been a great trip out hope the trip back is as good.

[jamesmil]

back home, six days on the road and 5169 miles and back at 03nc. what a great trip the rocky mountains and west are incredible to a flat lander like me. bills truck and trailer will need about a week of washing to get clean. bill is ready to get started on his kit as soon as he gets every thing cleaned up. if the kitfox looks as good as the cars he builds it will be a show stopper.

[SkyPirate]

welcome back guys~!! and some sweet rides there ,..Hey James,..do you remember seeing these trucks in and around Jacksonville early 90's?

I built both..one is a 1ton the other is 4x4,..,..but they were no way as pretty as Bills gems

[jamesmil]

way good looking trucks, can't say that I have seen them but great looking work.

[SkyPirate]

thanks ,,thought maybe you see them running around back then,,I was the only mobile welding set up with stick/tig/heli/mig set ups,,did allot of work for the local contractors around lejuene,..and Burgaw up to Raleigh

[jrthomas]
