    Default Kebo's Super Sport

    It's been a long wait (30 years since I first wanted a Kitfox and 4.5 months since I ordered my kit) but this is a sweet early Valentine's day gift.

    Hope no one minds but I like the way Esser and Noble are posting there questions, etc to the group through a single thread and plan to do the same.

    Happy early Valentine's day everyone.

    (I know someone in Michigan is going to happy in a few days. There is another one in the trailer and it is on it's way.)

    Right on. Let the fun begin! If you need motivation later this spring, maybe I can fly out your way and we can go flying!

    Super Excited for you. My poor kit is still in storage waiting on my permanent residence. You'll have a blast.

    Thanks everyone.

    Andy your always welcome. I enjoyed checking out your bird at Arlington last summer. I'm sure it took some of your time polishing the drool off of it! In fact, I sent my Honey a picture of it telling her I was going to get us one just like it. That didn't result in an immediately nod but it got the ball rolling. So in part I credit you with being responsible for the purchase and delivery. So a big thank you goes to you.

    I thought I'd give an update. I'm about half way through the fuselage section having just varnished the floor boards and epoxy/riveted the adjustable pedal and flapperon brackets to the center console. I should be making airplane sounds, etc soon.

    The build manual has been great. It's just like putting flat pack furniture together only way more fun.

    Here are some obligatory photos. The rotisserie makes it super easy to rotated for accessing the underside, just lift the tail, rotate and set it down couldn't be easier.

    That's a really neat fuse rotisserie, very simple and functional. I have seen several, but not one like yours. I like it.
