After a few years of having the Kitfox in a trailer, here is the setup that is working for me.
Music from the CD Careless Whisper by the London Starlight Orchestra tracks 5, 7, 11 and 19.

That is awesome. I didn’t know the Kitfox had a folding wing model. Great video

All the Kitfox models fold the wings. I knew I could not afford a hangar so the folding wings was a must option for me.

Wow, thanks! Good video to explain how it is so easy with a Kitfox, I owned one 👍

Wow, your whole setup looks very much like mine…. Except the droop-tip wings on my Kitfox 4 - 1200 won’t fit in the Hallmark trailer while mounted on the plane. Apparently I need a different trailer! Love your set up!

The box of this trailer is 26'. Inside at the very end I have chairs, a table and a cabinet. I have about 2' of space at the end.

Wing fold is such an awesome feature. Saves so much money not needing a hanger. Why do you have to drain the fuel though?
@jimsandoval7633
@jimsandoval7633 2 года назад
When you fold the wings back, the tip of the wings goes down, just over the elevator. The gas tank on the wings also tilts down with the wings and fuel will overflow over the gas cap if there is fuel in them.

For a new Series 7, will there be a problem fitting the sti model into a trailer? I dont know if all the models have the same dimensions when folded. I am new to STOL.

Nice video. How much gas can you have in the wing tanks when you fold them? I didn't realize you had to drain them to fold.
@jimsandoval7633
@jimsandoval7633 2 года назад
My guess is that more than 2 or 3 gallons will overflow. The other thing to consider is that the wing will hang from a bolt when folded and the weight of the fuel will try bend the wing down. So, it is a good practice to drain the tanks.

@@jimsandoval7633 I heard if you use a tail stand, to keep the wings level this isn’t an issue.

Awesome thanks for sharing Jim. Am new to stol world very much interested on same cost effective setup. May I know what specific aircraft model kit and trailer(if possible please provide details if any company customize like same). Also did you built aircraft from kit?

@@toadman506 Very good, this is a model IV. I did not build it but got it with only 37 hours of flight time. This trailer was originally made to haul custom cars to shows. It's 8' wide. I am new to STOL and fix wings also and enjoying it very much.

How long does this process take, from the time you open the trailer door until you start the airplane engine?
@jimsandoval7633
@jimsandoval7633 2 года назад
That takes 25 minutes. One thing to consider here is that before getting the plane back in the trailer, I always take the cowling off, check all the fluids and do a careful inspection, then put everything back in place so that next time that I fly, I know everything under the cowling is ready to go.

So if you don't need to move the camera every few minutes, how long to get set to fly? How long to fold up and put away?

I've been looking for better "wings folded width" numbers on the kitfox, another builder took measurements and posted ~110" for his width, not sure which model.. that seems ridiculous to me, having the width be so close to road legal but slightly over.. which model is yours, if you don't mind my asking?
@jimsandoval7633
@jimsandoval7633 Год назад
This is a model IV. The trailer outer width is 101.5" and the inner width is 97". I have 1.5" of space at each end so that would make the width of the wings to be 94".

The trailer is an old trailer made to haul cars, the box 26'. The person that build the plane also builds custom cars for shows and I got plane and trailer as a package.

8" wide but the frame of the door is a thick as the walls are. If the door frame is thicker than the walls, the plane will not fit through.

You can adjust the video speed in the settings if you want to watch it slower for some reason.
