Louisiana Super Sport build.

I agree!! However, it’s been so hot and work has been so busy. But I’m looking forward to fall, winter, and spring! Maybe she’ll make it to the airport before next summer.

We also have had a hot spell for the last month and work does get in the way of our hobbies. haha. Cooler is coming, I hope! Hope to fly alongside you someday.

Hi Ben,
I am currently rebuilding a SS7 with a Continental 0-200! A friend of mine had an accident with this airplane and gave up flying so I ended up with this project.It was originally a tricycle that he converted to a Taildragger so I don’t have the proper written balance for this Aircraft. Have you flown your aircraft yet or do you have any weight and balance done? Will you have to add tail weight and how much?I am currently taping the fuselage and was wondering if I need to make access in the tail for added weight. They had The battery in the tail along with 7 lbs. 10 oz. ballast. I’m planning on putting an X earth battery right behind the baggage area and using ballast were needed. I might also convert to the T3 tail wheel assembly also. I am also needing a prop and was wondering how you liked your DUC?
I really enjoyed your YouTube channel and your posts on team Kitfox! Thank you for sharing!

Hello all, I’ve been checking in on the forum every morning but haven’t been very active. I’ve been so busy with “life” and work that I lost interest in the kitfox and actually considered selling the project. However, I recently started looking around the shop and I can now feel the kitfox bug again. Hopefully I’ll have some more progress pictures soon. I did do a little fitting on the wingtips this weekend and it felt good to be back on it. Anyhow I just figured I’d give an update on my build.

Lose interest? Say it ain't so Ben. You've got such a great airplane there and you're so close to flying it!

Yeah man....don't quit. That feeling of "I built it, and now I am actually flying it" that only like .000034 % of the general population gets to feel, is so worth it.

[Benbell4140]

Thanks guys. I’m looking forward to getting back on it consistently here in the near future.

Just get in the shop every day, if possible, Ben. Even if it's to square away your build area.

I'm on year 4 and somedays I just don't feel it as well, but after a good day it feels really good to make some progress.

Hang in there!

I’ve been jumping around working on different things while waiting for supplies to come in to finish each individual project. Here are some random photos to keep the log somewhat up to date.
