Looks awesome! Great to see how it's done, thanks for posting this! I really want to build a kitfox but I'm not sure I can afford it or have the time! I listened to this while watching and it was a pretty cool mixup: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UZrNr1KAors.html
I love this video! Obviously i am very curious about the process, which is why i am watching this. I do have 2 questions that i feel are critical for my situation and it is possible other people might have the same questions. Question #1: Was the kit delivered to an address of your choosing or was the only option to pick up at an airport? Question #2: I am only equipped with what i feel are very basic tools. (Most “advanced” tools i own would be a nail gun + compressor) Do i need access to a lathe or band saw or welding equipment to be able to build this? I am not entirely sure if cordless tools with a tape measure and a miter saw puts me in qualified position. Again, beautiful video. Thanks for the upload!
Hey Gio, you can have it delivered to your house or you can pick it up at the factory. Call Kitfox they are super helpful. Also you certainly do not need a bunch of special tools. A dremel will do most of the work. No welding needed. If you are decently handy and can follow explicit directions, you can do this.
I can’t wait to get my ppl taken care of lol, it’s cool to see you gettin to fly with Palmer now too! Hopefully by the end of next year I’ll be landing in some of the spots I’ve watched you guys drop into!
Awsome Joe! I built my Kitfox 4 back in 1993 in 9 months, which was pretty fast. You did it in 3 minutes :-). Nothing compares with that feeling of the first flight. Congratulations on a beautiful plane and video.
Joe Ruscito my wife and I started a new adventure and moved into our fifth wheel full time in feb. We were going to start traveling across the USA and canada this summer until the virus hit. We are putting it all on our RU-vid channel Downsizing Makes Cents. We will bring our rig to so Fla at some point so I can take you up on the ride. m.ru-vid.com?uid=h_0qAuir3s9Jho0B7ZTjHg
Out-freaking-standing! Many of us watch the more instructional, step-by-step build videos, and some of us build airplanes, but it was simply fun to see this video. One thought amused me...when you were a beat behind the left-turning tendency on that first flight, I imagined - AND THANK GAWD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN - a first flight ground loop, followed by the queuing of that music again, from the top, followed by a timelapse video of its repair 😂 🤣
I remember when Joe couldn't even stay upwind. I took him under my wing and showed him the 1 trick I had. Now look at 'em. Joe, Don't forget the guys at Crack Park.
