I saw that. Thought about it. If they had something almost ready, they probably would have announced at Airventure. I think we’ll have to wait a bit before hearing about anything new.

We could start some rumors….. like a 4 place KitFox? I’d love something like this so I could put it on floats and fill it with gear so my son and I could camp/fish out of it…..

RV-4 built and sold :-(
RV-10 built and flying
KitFox SS7 built and flying and now on amphib floats!
Here's a thought.... Vans announced a high wing, back country model ... the RV-15
Maybe Kitfox will offer a new model with low wings and cruises at 160 mph!
Ya think!..... NOT.

I'd buy a 4 place Kitfox in a heartbeat. If the Vans is a 4 place, I'll buy it in a heartbeat.
How about a tandem 2 place with either the standard or STI wing?
Could it be this?? https://www.kitplanes.com/kitfox-ann...-rotax-engine/
Check out the date of that article. That should shed some light on when it's coming on the market. :-) JimChuk
I don't think the design of the Kitfox can transition to 4 place without a clean sheet of paper.
My wild guess is that we are about to see the Kitfox 8, with significant improvements in prefabrication. You know, less "art project" (to borrow a term from others) and easier build. My guess is based on the recent picture published which showed some CNC mills being unloaded at the factory.
