    Default Kudos to josh

    So I check out my latest edition of EAA's on line magazine and find that Josh's airplane is featured in the "What our members are building and flying" section.

    So great to have our people like Josh letting the world know how great building and flying a Kitfox is.

    My message to others nearing completion - might consider doing a write up and photo submission to EAA when you get your bird in the air for the members section.

    I know! I know! we'd rather be flying than writing; but sharing one's accomplishments enhances our greater community.

    Thanks Dave! Good point to make! I would have never submitted it if someone didn't prod me to.

    Thumbs up Re: Kudos to josh

    Nice plug for teamkitfox too! Dave does have a good point. Kitfoxxers are a very active pilot and builder group, but you'd hardly know it thumbing through any given flying mag. I feel like we're turning a corner with a surge of interest in backcountry flying spurred by the popularity of the High Sierra Fly-In and the visibility of some very talented youtubers. While Kitfox doesn't need any help making sales these days, submitting to this section of EAA SA is one way we can all help promote the planes we love. Nice writeup Josh!

    I agree. Kitfox needs to be promoted more. Im tired of stuff I see with the RV group. I get it, but.....
    Why did I just get a promotion for "stranded pilot" insurance and VANS airplanes are included among the Certified fleet of airplanes that are eligible. I bet my Kitfox will be every bit as reliable as an RV. EAA has too much advertising for RVs and now I notice Zenair is being added to that. Why not Kitfox? Submit your photos and story when your done. Hell, submit to both SportAir as well as Kitplanes. There seems to be a number of us finishing first flight soon. Get the info out there! The more we can Help sell Kitfoxes the more fun we can have since we will have more Kitfoxers out there to fly around with.

    First - Good job, Josh! Looking Great! Hope to see it at OSH.

    Second - To EAA presence, the Kitfox Community will hopefully be making a major positive splash at Airventure 2019 for their (our?) 35th anniversary. I hope that this will garner some much deserved press and recognition for a great product that continues to grow their market with it superior performance and FACTORY SUPPORT that the other kit manufacturers can't even come close to matching.

    Nice write up. One great set of wings and some good PR for Kitfox.

    Way to go Josh!
