Something NEW in the KITFOX " Skunk works "

[Billy]

Watching an "air adventure" video with John , Brandon and Heather.... John made a subtle remark something is in the works at the Kitfox factory, Does anyone know what is being designed? billy

I saw that. Thought about it. If they had something almost ready, they probably would have announced at Airventure. I think we’ll have to wait a bit before hearing about anything new.

We could start some rumors….. like a 4 place KitFox? I’d love something like this so I could put it on floats and fill it with gear so my son and I could camp/fish out of it…..

Here's a thought.... Vans announced a high wing, back country model ... the RV-15

Maybe Kitfox will offer a new model with low wings and cruises at 160 mph!

Ya think!..... NOT.

Lower and slower!

I'd buy a 4 place Kitfox in a heartbeat. If the Vans is a 4 place, I'll buy it in a heartbeat.

How about a tandem 2 place with either the standard or STI wing?

Check out the date of that article. That should shed some light on when it's coming on the market. :-) JimChuk

I don't think the design of the Kitfox can transition to 4 place without a clean sheet of paper.

My wild guess is that we are about to see the Kitfox 8, with significant improvements in prefabrication. You know, less "art project" (to borrow a term from others) and easier build. My guess is based on the recent picture published which showed some CNC mills being unloaded at the factory.
