Looks great Rooster.

Hi Reid - your 'new' Strip looks great! No lazy approaches or departures for you!! Looks like a lot of fun. Perhaps we should fly the Kitfox over the pond and try it out?!
Hope it rains soon for you!! Hate to tell you but we are in the middle of summer and just had 45mm over night! Crazy weather patterns.
cheers

Happy new year, Ross!
Yup even drought has its opportunities - I am cleaning out my dry dams so that when it rains again, they store a bigger volume of water.
You are welcome anytime, even to visit and fly mine!! Kim and I love visits.
We can play Kitfoxes and talk any sports except rugby
That goes for you guys from the States, too!
Kind regards
Reid

Powder Day. Airplane cookies in the snow check.
AirFox!
That is one of the most Stunning photo's I have ever seen!
It must be so awesome flying on a morning like that. No wonder we have to remove cabin heaters when we import planes from the "States".
Getting ready for some winter flying, myself...

Not so mangy, Mangy Fox. Looking good with her new slippers on!

Did you make those slippers yourself? Looks like Chromoly tubing with some type of plastic on the bottom.
I worked with Airdale on these, they are the prototype of his design. I don't believe Airdale is in business anymore, unfortunately.
The main bows are made from 5/8 x .036" 4130 tube, with some 1/2 x .035" for the superstructure, with 1/4" UHMW (plastic) on the bottoms. I put a second set of Grove axles to the inside of the gear legs to mount them on. They work really well for the type of skiing I do. I may work on a tail ski when time allows.
Beautiful summers morning here in Mt Beauty today! Had a few friends call by for a BBQ. from left. Stinson, Super Cub. KF7, KF4 and Highlander.
