KOTM for March 2010 Andy Karmy's Model 7.

[Dorsal]

Congrats Andy, Great looking plane and inspiring write-up, just what I need as I head down the final stretch. Hope I get to see it in person someday.

awesome Andy,..nice layout on the new panel too,.. I see you have the same problem as me though ..you fly the kitfox way to fast and your forhead is sliding back mine slide so far back I can't see it anymore ha ha

Fantastic airplane. Way to go. Just to let you know, the RV's can fly low and slow just like the kitfox. I do it all the time, the only thing I don't like is the wing is in the way for seeing down. The way I see it, if I want a LSA I pull the throttle back, way back. If I want to get there, I push the throttle forward. I burn the same if not less fuel in the RV when flying 110kts it's something like 4.5 gph.

You have something very special there, enjoy.

Well, I know that well. I've been into my share of 1000ft grass strips with the 9A (with 2 people onboard), and we've talk about that being at the limits for some Kitfox pilots here on the board!

You are such a good salesman for both planes, and as we all know they both are great planes. Yes the RV can do everything...

but, I still am having a ton of fun with the Kitfox. Just Sunday I was roaring in and out of a small strip, using just 400ft of it. I also really love the downward visibility. That's something I really missed in the RV's. Oh well, glad we have both options out there for everyone to choose between!

Andy ..a challenge for you ..beat my record of 75 foot of runway for a landing and don't bounce

(no i didnt land in the grass first then roll up onto the runway using 75 foot ha ha )

I already beat that, but than again, I had a nice head wind, I felt like I could reach down and pull some weads while I was landing.

Oh my, I'll have to work on that a bit. Might need to slow down a bit more... also not sure if a Series 7 can do quite the same things as the earlier models! (at least that's going to be my excuse).

I see a landing contest, with flour bombing and TP shredding in the future over at Steve's place this summer!

[SkyPirate]

now that sounds like it would be fun~!! I'd like to say "Your On~!! but chances are I won't be ready for this summer dern it

I guess what I was getting at is the RV's can and will do the same low runs as the kitfox, it's just most Rv'rs don't like flying under 10000msl. Me and my airplanes all get nose bleeds at that altitude or attitude.
