    Default Lead Time for New S7 kit?

    Does anyone know the current lead time for a newly-ordered S7 Kit?
    If ordered now, when would a kit be available?

    Thanks & Merry Christmas to all!

    Hi all, back in Sept I contacted kitfox to ask this exact question and yes told it would be over a year or so. I decided to post in the forum, " looking for model 4 project" and with some luck ,patients and THE FORUM, a fine gentleman from Alaska contacted me to offer to sell me his model 4 project. Feel very fortunate to have a project so quickly coming my way! I guess this is the problem when demand exceeds supply! On a good note, what that say about kitfox?
    Cheers!

    That's awesome, and congrats! Fortunately, I'm not in a situation to start anytime soon. I've got about two years left of grad school, after which I intend to start building, so an 18 month lead time works pretty well for me. Gives me a solid 6 months of planning and research before cutting a check!

    Congrats guys on your order placements. Well worth the wait but as Tom Petty sang, “the waiting is the hardest part”.
