Looking for builders in Lakeland FL area

[mbuto]

Hello!

I'm thinking of building my 1st plane and Kitfox is at the top of the list at the moment. I will be coming down from Canada to the EAA building fundamentals course in Lakeland Feb 3-4 2018 to see if building is right for me. I was planning on taking that course in Oshkosh the week before so I could stop in at the factory on the way home, but then the "Wisconsin at the end of January vs. Florida" hit me :)

It would be great to meet up with anyone with a Kitfox (finished or otherwise) on the Friday (2nd).

Thanks!

Mike

Mike, i'm only a 25 minute drive from lakeland. I have a KF 7 SS with an O-200 that i finished 1 year ago. I'd enjoy getting together with you and hopefully have favorable flying weather for us to go up. Ken

Mike,
I expect to be in Lakeland for a Sun n Fun fly-in meeting on Feb 3 and so will make a point to be there the afternoon of Feb 2 to visit with you. I am in Ocala, Fl 115 miles N of Lakeland and am building a Model IV-1200 with Rotax 912 and IVO prop.
I hope Ken can fly his bird down because I have seen it and it is outstanding but differs a bit since it has the 0-200 engine.
I am easily reached by e-mail at bud.davidson@gmail.com
