New Colorado builder

Well, after several years of dreamin' & schemin' about Kitfox-style flying, I made the decision after OSH last year, & ordered a Mod.7 SS kit from John & Debra. Getting to know them just a little, & scrutinizing what these folks are doing now, helped me make a last minute decision to turn away from the Highlander. So late last November, I talked my good friend & Kitfox Mod.4 builder/owner, Stan Specht, into flying up to Boise with me, where we rented a truck & brought my new child home, 900 miles to Denver, CO - John & Stan's excellent adventure! My timing wasn't the best, as I made a vow to myself & my wife to finish a couple of projects at home, as well as complete some serious work on the Thorp T-18 that I built from scratch over a 15 year period, & test-flew in 1990. It is SO hard to keep from diggin'-in. Seeing & touching all those pre-made parts & big instruction manual is really a new & unique experience for me - I am excited! Anyway, I'll probably be able to make some real progress after I retire in a little over a year. I hope to be able to eventually add something worthwhile to the group. I know that the Kitfox will add a dimension to my life!

Congrats John on the Super Sport purchase. Much fun headed your way. Say hi to Stan for me.

Congratulations John. You should have plenty of fun building and flying. I’ve wanted to build a Kitfox for the last 25 years or so and then Stan gave me a flight. I was sold and bought the Kitfox 5 kit he had. Still working on it but someday it will be a lot of fun to fly. Hope to see and talk with you someday. Say hi to Stan for me too!
