    Talking The Wait is Over

    March 1st may have come in like a lion here in Arizona but it brought with the very badly needed rain, a very special delivery from the great State of Kitfox , ah, I mean Idaho.

    Like so many of you on these forums, I too have anticipated the arrival of something very special from our friends at Kitfox Aircraft LLC.

    Yesterday a trailer arrived with some gorgeous airplane parts in the form of a fuselage kit, several large and a few small boxes and lots of dreams tucked safely inside. What a thrill. Having John and Debra personally deliver the kit and being able to spend a great evening with them and Phil, Phil's family and Col. & Mrs. Col. Prokes was the icing on the cake.


    The TeamKitfox members have certainly set the bar high for me with all the beautiful craftsmanship I've seen over the past years. Thanks for the inspiration and I'll make no apologies for stealing some of your great ideas over the next months.
    Let the fun begin.

    Below you'll see a photo with 3 folks that without their dedication, hard work and love of this wonderful aircraft design, this day would not have been possible.

    lucky man, and an Ace! You are now my true idol!

    Excellent, what a delivery team! I like the new "quick build" wing in the truck
    What a cool plane and community.

    Yep, that really is quick build, isn't it? Wings for the 914 powered
    Super Sport Bill and I are building. We had to get Doc 's kit out
    to get to my wings.

    Steve has a a very nice model 4 so can't wait to see his SS as he builds.

    Congrats on the move Steve

    Congradulations Steve!

    I like the black powder coating! Thought maybe the factory was offering a super quick build wing option. There is lots of work in those wings. That is some good customer service from John and Deb as usual!

    Good luck on your build!

    Thanks gentlemen. I appreciate the encouragement. I'll need all I can get after seeing the show planes coming out of all your garages and hangars lately. Lots of talented aircraft builders hanging out here.

    The wings are beautiful. Love the color.

    Wait till you see the rest of the Kitfox Phil & Bill are building. Spectacular as always.
