Jud and Clarissa Parker (Jud and Clarissa) - Wilder, Id
Series 5 TD
Rotax 912UL Xtra, NSI CAP 140
Started June 95, finished January 2001 (hours to complete ?)


We received our kit in June of '95 and began work right away. We only took one break from working on the kit when we moved in 98 for about 2 months, but with 4 children and my work where I traveled 230 plus days a year the progress was slow. Thanks so much to the Kitfox factory for so much help all those years. Received our airworthiness certificate in February of 2001. The 40 hours were flown off fairly quickly, we had written out a very detailed flight test program including spins that took almost 30 hours. We tested at every type of loading weight and CG location we could come up with. The plane always flew great and never produced any undesirable flight characteristics. When the 40 hours were done we started to take it to airshows where we have been lucky enough to win some awards including a Bronze Lindy at Oshkosh 2003. We have flown it to almost every western state, west of the Mississippi. There is now over 470 hours of pure fun that we have been so grateful for. This little airplane can really change your life!
