CFI researching planes to buy for training

[Jerrytex]

"And for those that bought a Kitfox or other experimental and you didn't have your pilots license yet (sport or PPL), how did you go about getting training?"


I bought a Kitfox and fininshed it back in 2009. I had a Sports PPC license. I took training in an Areonca Champ to get my fixed wing endorsement. Afterwards, it was a fairly easy transition to the Kitfox once you master the cowling angle difference.

My 2 cents is.... the Champ or Chief would probably be the best of both worlds and offer training to a broader group.....the kitfox enthusiasts, and people wanting to add a tailwheel endorsement.

You might have a chat with Halterman Aviation. Just as Jim suggested, they offer training and rentals in a 180hp 172 and a Kitfox SLSA.
