Thank you for all the kind words. It was truly a surprise for me, and I am very appreciative to be able to represent the KitFox community.

Thanks to all for the support!!

Enjoy the accolades Mike. The Grand Champion Light Sport award is right where it belongs.
Well done sir. :)

OK Mike, I wanted to build with the radial but was informed that it was the heaviest engine put on the SS7. I was surprised to find you were register a light sport. How much does it weigh? I am now contemplating another build since your win but I would like a reasonable useful load. Probably could be done if I use Oratex again. I didnt Know about Oratex when I bought.
