    I like it! Looks awesome.

    Are kitfox really that heavy on the tail? 67lbs seems really high for the tail on a fabric airplane, especially with a large engine up front. My metal airplane with scott 3200 tail wheel was only in the 20's on the tail. Not to challenge judgement but it was performed level and not tail low, correct? That seems to be a common high tail wheel calc with home builts (weight and balance performed in 3 point stance instead of parallel to ground).

    Congrats. Hope the Boss Fox hauls the mail. From a previous post. I like the resemblance.
