Well, the journey began today. I purchased the deposit that a builder posted on Barnstormers and my kit's production date is April 2021. I'm live in the shadow of Lucky Peak on the SE side of Boise, hence the name - One Lucky Fox.
Plans always change, but I can say for certain that I have settled on the STI version. I'm about 90% sure I'll go with the 915is engine to compensate for the higher elevations in Idaho. We moved here from the Midwest where I had a Pietenpol Air Camper (N8031) which was decent plane for flying at low altitudes over a huge runway (i.e., corn and bean fields). But, flying in/near/around mountains is definitely going to be different so extra power is warranted, I think.
