    Default Looking for a demo ride for some insight.

    Hey all,

    Kitfox is one of a few kits I am considering building. I only have 200 hours under my belt. My concern is over the sporty or aggressive flying characteristics. I want to know if I would love them, find them tiring, or they would simply concern me. I live in the Milwaukee WI area and am looking for someone within a half days car drive that can possibly give me a ride so I can understand this wonderful machine. I will pay for fuel plus any other incurred costs you feel,,, were incurred.

    I appreciate any help I can get.
    Thanks much!

    Alan

    I would say the model 7SS can be quite docile. But like other light planes, it can bounce you around a bit in high winds. And if your worried about it making you tired, install autopilot to lighten the load. Hope you find someone nearby to help out.

    If you'd like to see and fly with me in my Model IV, The Mangy Fox, send me a PM.

    I'm in Merrill, Wisconsin, just a couple hours north of you.
