    Brilliant minds and all that with the panel

    (Eurofox, not Kitfox, so a smaller bit of real estate to work with).

    Now I just need to get the radio to talk to the EFIS so it can be test flown

    The pictures don't do this justice. This plane is beyond amazing.

    Thanks Desert Dave.😀

    I had a nice write up to go with the pictures. Lost it in the process some how. Wanted to get a few photos posted anyway. I have some incredibly talented people to thank for helping from start to finish on Tangerine. I will do a rewrite and try to do justice to their contributions. Love the Kitfox community.❤️

    Steve, Looks fantastic. Can't wait to start on mine.... Curious on the weight. Looks like a lot of weight saving going on.

    Paint is Air-Tech custom mixed (orange) color. Stripes are a dark gray to match interior. Polytone white was shot over the silver PolySpray U.V. coats then finish colors applied.

    Thank you Someday7. Empty weight is 763 lbs. Tried to pay close attention to every gram of weight during construction. Carbon fiber cowls, Kitfox Aircraft carbon wing tips, carbon sandwich baggage compartment floors, lightweight Grove gear, magnesium Grove wheels, rudder pedal adjustment handles deleted, brakes pilot side only along with Puka rudder pedals pilot side only.
