Re: First flight in rebuilt Kitfox 1
Jim, that article sure reminded me of the decisions/experiences I went through before I purchased my first Kitfox. Picked up my kit at the Nampa factory Dec.21/89. Dan Denny gave me my first ride in the Fox demonstrator, and the second photo, shows my kit, loaded for the ride home to Calgary.

No low bridges on the ride home I guess? ;-) Are you still flying that plane? Jim Chuk
Re: First flight in rebuilt Kitfox 1
Congrats Jim! Awesome to see.. Hopefully in person.
Re: First flight in rebuilt Kitfox 1
Yes Jim, the kit made it all the way home without problem. Still flies occasionally, just around annual inspection time. My preference these days is my Model 5.
Haven't been able to part with the Model 2, it's kinda like your firstborn.

Re: First flight in rebuilt Kitfox 1
Hi guys. Did a bit more flying in the Kitfox 1 this evening. Did 5 take offs and landings. Got the wife to shoot some video of a take off and landing. I put them up on utube. Hope the links work. Enjoy! JImChuk
