What is a Superfox?

I fly with a Savage Cub and a Carbon Cub and as I was rebuilding my Classic IV I kept the guys informed as to the modifications I was making. Speedster tail, Wide body mod, Arizona style baggage compartment, replace 582 with 912 and a custom exhaust, all new glass with bubble doors and clear turtle deck etc. The guys started calling it a Super Fox (instead of a Super Cub) so I went along with it. I even put it on the nose.

Sorry Sioux201 I did not mean to hijack your post. $175 is a great price for a matco. Just not is the budget right now.

I did not get to Oshkosh this year but I had a friend check your plane and he says there is nothing mangy about your Fox any more. Said your workmanship was good and it's a nice plane. Still a great name.:)

Well it isn't even flying yet but with the registration being C-FOXD we have been referring to it as Foxed

I saw a Kitfox years ago with a name that I thought was cool. ( And today probably even more appropriate than ever due to all the back country stuff that's becoming more and more popular) In a nice script on the cowl it said "Hayfield Harrier".

I also liked the Kitfox Speedster that was all white with wheel pants that was reminiscent of the famous Howard air racer Mr. Mulligan. That one was called " The MulliCoupe".

I've yet to come up with a name for my Kitfox... go figure. But after all this discussion, I think I'm just going to call it "Foxy". (Or should it be Foxxy, or Foxey?). Yeah, I like that one....

Wife named ours "Ruby" owing to its color.

Ruby is a great looking plane and if I'm not mistaken has now started it's second life. Did you do a rebuild on Ruby and how long have you owned her.


Oh and I bet "Ruby could take your love to town".

Freedom fox says it all,the high Sierra video is what kitfox flying is all about!
My rego is ZK JFA and unfortunately gets referred to as the Jaffa which is a rather unflattering referral to the residents of our largest city.:(

Hi Norm:

Ruby is a new build actually. Have owned her for two years now.

The black and white photo in the album made me think it was a plane you had for a long while and rebuilt. Very nice job. Great looking plane. Thanks for sharing.

That's pretty offensive....Anyone who has that displayed on their airplane shouldn't run for office...
