Kitfox Market Value for Models 1-3 in 2014?

[rdooley79]

Avid's, kitfoxes and a few others use almost the same design. Avid's are the original design and Kitfox is the offshoot of that, if I'm not mistaken. Anyone please correct me here if not so.

Avid's are great airplanes. There are a few that pop up and since they're not as known (I guess) a good deal usually. Nice planes and if you sat one by a kitfox most people couldn't tell the difference. Take a look at Avid Heavy Hauler's a lot like the Model 3. The only thing I personally don't like about Avid's is that the engine mount is upside down. Rotax are supposed to be able to run either way. However guys have had issues over time with fouling plugs from oil pooling on the top of the cylinder when not run, even after just a few days. Most of the time though it's not a problem, just a major difference in my opinion. There are tons of posts about this and other avid topics.

barnstormers.com is your best friend by now I assume. hahaha about 3 times a day do a search for "fox" and "avid" and some times search for "582" or "rotax 582" and some things will pop up you wouldn't normally find. Also craigslist is very handy. There are planes on there around the country. http://www.searchcraigslist.org
This is a good tool to search all of craigslist for every state.

Buy a plane out of state? It's CRAZY!!!!! who would do that?!!! http://www.teamkitfox.com/Forums/showthread.php?t=5308
I'm about to set off in 4 days, from CO 1500 miles to TN with my brother where we'll be picking up a KFIV-1200. The thing that makes it do-able is that the plane comes with a light duty trailer made with a tail support. So you might like to check out the info I'm gathering as you may need to replicate the trip, if everything goes right that is!! *fingers crossed*
