Kicking the cobwebs off...

[jdmcbean]

Been a long and interesting winter here in Idaho.. So now that the weather is turning towards spring we had a good day to go kick some cobwebs off... :D

Holy smokes, Sir! If you still have cobwebs, you'll just have to live with them...

First I have seen of the STi wing actually flying. It would appear to be, well, awesome. Not that the Titan does not help it look good, LOL. Any comments on the STi package with 100hp pulling it that you would like to share?

Anyway, thanks for sharing the video. Really added something special to my day! Thanks again, John!!!

Wow... that's pretty darn cool John! What's the empty weight?

John, great video. Glad the snow has slowed and you are Kitfoxing again.

Can I bring The Mangy over and play, too?

:cool:

I guess I can speak of seeing that motor in the crate next to that airframe November of 2015 while placing my order there at the shop.
Does that arrangement take the aircraft outside the LSA limits? If not, have you got a firewall forward cost yet including the motor?

P.S. Awesome video!
Heading out to work on mine as we speak.

Pure fun! Thanks for putting that together John.

Looks like you had some fun John. I need to go there sometime.

Very nice John! Looks like an amazing performer. And I love that spot - very fun.

Very cool Kitfox John. And I love the video. I think our beloved little Kitfox is growing up....

[Monocock]

That is quite something! :eek:

Looks like those cobwebs belonged to a big spider ..... Great video and like av8rps says, the Kitfox is starting to grow a bit more .... so when does the PT6 version come out ?!

[Av8r3400]

A PT-6 powered Kitfox...

Hmmmmm pt6🤔

Certainly interesting video and looks good John. I am interested to read the performance figures when available. I would hope the cruise would be more than 100mph and the STOL more like a Cub!

It would also be interesting to see how the standard SS7 would perform with the Titan 180hp power plant and compared with the STi version.

Going a bit further, I am wondering how the UL Power 6 cylinder engines would marry with both the SS7 an the Sti version??

It is great to see Kitfox pushing the envelope as always and offering interesting options!

cheers

Im not sure I like all these options. I bought nearly all of them I could when I ordered my SS7 and now I am wondering how I am going to pay for a PT6?:D

Getting ever closer to being an off-airport rocket ship!! Excellent John!! Excellent!

[av8rps]

Looks to me like it already is an off-airport rocketship.

Now about that PT6....
