I'm in the research phase of picking a kit to build (1st build). For those of you that store your kitfox at home and transport it to the airport, how big of a hassle is it? I have a shop that it will already fit in, and I'm within 15 minutes of a great GA airport, but I'm wondering if I'm dillusional i thinking that it won't be a big deal transporting the airplane back and forth, folding up the wings, storing it, etc.

My other question concerns the tricycle gear. I have a few hundred hours, but no taildragger time, and I'm considering building it as a tricycle gear and converting it to a taildragger at a later date after I get some time in type (trying to keep my insurance at a reasonable cost). What are your experiences taking a Series 7 tricycle gear into the ID and MT backcountry strips? I know that some are out of the question, but how about the more popular ones like Moose Cr, Fish Lake, Johnson Cr, etc? Thanks
