    What's going on over there, Rooster? Not poking fun at the price on the starter but, a 700 weight steer alone here would cover it. Well, nearly. We were right @ $110/hundred.

    Well, Ramos, I have just sold my steers on a Video Auction....

    We Got R 33.80 per kilogramme for them. That's just on $ 2.53 per kilo.

    At 7.5 Pounds for the starter, it comes in at R 3162.00 per Kilo ($ 233.82 Per Kilo)

    I've been paid, so will take the plunge and buy the skyTec!!

    Heck, Rooster, you beat us by nearly five cents on every pound. As depressing as the price has been the last two years, I still would not recommend looking at your aviation expenses on a per pound basis!

    A brand new factory built Kitfox is in the neighborhood of $150.00/pound.

    We just got back from a week away in the Simpson Desert and Lake Eyre
    region of central Australia. Here are a few pics to give you the idea.
    will post more later with a bit of a story. But the Kitfox performed very well!

    cheers

    That looks like so much fun, Ross! I'm so glad you're using and enjoying your beautiful airplane as much as you seem to be... I really look forward to that too.
