    Unhappy Wisconsin Kitfox Down

    Looks like the occupants survived. Sounds like they have non-life threatening injuries (I pray). I don't know the plane, but this isn't far from me.

    Bummer for sure. something is goofy with the N number though. The article calls it a Sea Hawk with an O-320 engine. That is what showed up when I searched the N number as well.... Just for a hunch, I added an F to the number, and then it showed up as a Kitfox 4 with a VW engine. Hope they aren't to badly hurt. JImChuk

    I think that's correct; the second photo in this story looks like a VW engine.

    It’s a model 4 with a VW. I have identified the owner who I don’t believe is a member here.

    Yes, the picture shows that the N number on the vertical stabilizer is followed by the word FOX on the rudder. Not proper, but the person who did it was being a little "innovative" I guess.
