Rotax debut

[Brandon Petersen]

Some have wondered why we’ve been so quiet lately..... we’ve been busy!!

It’s been tough to keep this under wraps! But, here is the KITFOX Series 7 STi featuring the BRAND NEW prototype Rotax 231HP 918iS!!! Six cylinder, turbo charged, fuel injected 2023cc of awesomeness.....ohhhhhhhh, and it is smooth!

Thanks to all who helped to make this happen, even by the midnight moonlight!

Hahaha, now Trent might feel the way the rest of have after his upgrade to the new engine. Are we at the point we can hover the dang thing now Brandon? I can't even fathom the climb rate that thing must have. What can you divulge here?

Shoot! Now I know I should have gone with a Zenith. They have the new 8 Cylinder Viking engine in theirs. Sure like that 35 inch tire up front too. Hauls up to six people and leaps off the ground in under 40 feet?

Don't get me excited like this. The timing makes me waaay too skeptical.

And visions of dollar signs danced in my head!!

Hmmm, odd this comes out on April fools day.

Thank you for indulging in our twisted sense of humor! We had fun planning and staging our prank today!!

We love all of our customers, builders and fans of Kitfox Aircraft!

The best comment of the day made reference to the Photoshop picture and middle bank of cylinders and the exhaust being "Bluetooth". Very clever.

Special thanks and shout out to my brother Doug for sharing his amazing photo editing skills. We even had Rotax convinced they were releasing that engine.

Happy April fool's day!!
