    Nice paint scheme. Oh, and I love the name. Nice choice that gives it some personality before it ever even flew.

    Is that an original Kitfox 1 smooth cowl or is it a retrofitted Avid cowl?

    Started as an Original Kitfox model 1 cowl strait from 1985, but to fit a Jabiru under it I had to add a few inches to the back and chop the front off and re glass it to make room for the heads and exhaust then cover the propeller hub and rebuild the top lip that lays against the windshield and glass the boot cowl together.

    You have a wonderful looking plane there. I did a double take on your posting, I spent many wonderful times in Maurice at my grandparents home as a kid growing up in Iowa. I hope you have many great flights in your Kitfox, she's a beauty!
