    Happy to do it guys. Hope to connect with the guys down on the ulralite area. Keep missing Larry (Mangy Fox) at the booth.
    Had great visits with several TeamKitfox members so far and dozens of interested folks from all over the world. Fun couple days.
    Got to visit with a few of our forum sponsors today and personally thank them on behalf of you members and myself for supporting our website and the Kitfox community. Ill catch them all in the next two days. Some were so busy at their booths I couldn't get up to even say hi. Love that.

    Planning on making Larry's get together Friday evening. Looking forward to that.

    Off to bed. Up early to get the Speedster down to show center so Kyle Franklin can fly it during Wednesdays airshow. Hoping for better weather than the forecaster is predicting. Fingers crossed. BTW, Kyle just won a very prestigeous aviation award tonight in The Theater in the Woods. See photo in previous post. Congrats Kyle. Justly deserved. Great airshow pilot. Night all. Wish you were here.

    It is so great to see all the Kitfoxes and the people at the show. I am truly jealous . Hope Kyle's show is a ball and someone shoots some video for the archives, its quite a legacy and baton pass.
    Thank you again for all the great pics.

    A few photos of the Wed. airshow with Kyle Franklin flying the new Speedster.
    The rain let up just in time to get the routine in.
    After, he stopped by the booth for photos.
    A fun and histric recreation of his dad's flight 25 years ago.
    He loves this aircraft.
    A little soggy at times today but the evening arrived with nice temps and clearing skies. Off to watch the nightime airshow.

    Would love to have been there so have been catching what I can on the webcams.The kitfox speedster aerobatics were great considering the weather appeared a bit unfavourable.
    It looks like New Zealand even got a flag up on the entranceway unless those darned Aussies beat us to it again (they have 5 stars we only get four,I can't zoom in to confirm)
    For those who are there it looks like a great show.We need pictures and video

    Yea the fern would be cool but we have just been through a vote on a flag change and the status quo remains.

    Looks like they have a nice elevator gap seal on the speedster.
    I wonder if this will be available from Kitfox.
