    Default Add one more to the fleet!!

    Last Wednesday was a pretty big day - received the airworthiness certificate.

    Two days ago (Monday) was the first flight - all went well. Flew hands off and positive stability was exhibited in all axis.

    So, add one more to the fleet.

    Thanks to all for your support and encouragement over the last two years.

    Congratulations. It's a very big accomplishment. The plane looks lovely sitting on that mowed grass.

    Darrell..... Congrats! Heather and I are incredibly happy for you!! I remember sitting across the table in your kitchen and hearing how frustrated you were with your previous project and I was eager to see how you were going to enjoy the Kitfox build. Your plane is gorgeous. Something you should be proud of. I know your attention to detail and I'm confident it will be something you will enjoy!
