    Congrats Paul. I know it's been a long road to this day but from the looks of the finished product it was so well worth the effort, time and money.
    One of a kind bird.
    Spectacular aircraft worthy of that beautiful radial engine.

    That Kitfox is absolutely stunning!

    Good luck ever getting away from the fuel pumps at a new airport in under an hour. Admirers are going to stream out of the FBO offices when you pull up!

    Rolled the first photo into view and... OMG! is all I could say. Unbelievable beauty. That is something that could inspire me to a second build. I am enjoying my build now but I want to fly soon so a project like that is something I could consider as a slow build while flying the one I have. Im jealous.

    I know very little about what the radial Rotec does for performance, but based on all the custom fairings I see along with exquisite attention to fit and finish, you just may have a real Kitfox racer. I can hardly wait to hear flying test results.

    So how did you do the panel? Let me guess, wood in the shape of a Monocoupe panel
