Gentlemen,
I am selling my Kitfox due to military orders (I had posted earlier this week about a pending move). I have a 2013 Super Sport 7 with the Dynon avionics suite.
I am currently deployed, and have a buyer that has committed and made the deposit. He's a first time buyer, excited, and asked me to assist in the shipping or ferrying of the aircraft. I thought I would start here. The aircraft is wings folded in my shop for the winter (Alaska) and would need to be trailered to the local strip (I have a trailer). It is in annual, and a very solid and well equipped aircraft. I am advising against shipping due to the harsh roads and how hard it is on the bird.
So the short of the long...anyone know of an experienced Kitfox driver with enough experience to aid my A&P buddy unfold the wings and fly it back to Chicago area (obviously compensated)? I have made the flight several times by helicopter and fixed wing. I can tell you it is a blast and once in a lifetime.
Also, to present all courses of action to this gentlemen, if someone knows of a reputable shipping company, I'd be interested in that information as well.
Aircraft has the 912 ULS with 100 hours total. Log books and all documentation will be available for inspection.
