Complete timelapse of my build. Total build time was 10 months working about 40-50 hours per week. Also the first take off and landing on my test flight. Here's some flying: • Kitfox Quarantine
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.
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 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.
