Kitfox S7 Super Sport Time Lapse Build Video 

Reid Bacon please I want to learn how to do plane

You wore the same two or three shirts for "approximately 1500 hours" over 2 years at least while "building" a "quick build" aircraft "at home" at a "liesurely pace"? How many hours did all your "helpers" that appear to do WAY more of the "tough stuff" than you do as you spend way more time by the "workbench" than by the "workpiece" put in?

@@deeremeyer1749 you ever think maybe he has just a few sets of clothes that he wears when working so he doesn't ruin his nice clothes?

blancolirio different shirts. Just lots of Orange. Dad is an Oklahoma State University fan. 😁

Haa!...great 'continuity' as they say in the movie biz.

Great video! Hello from Stillwater

Orange one finally got up and walked away

lmao! i didnt notice the first time hahaha. buy your dad a few OU shirts ;) id like to see some videos of the finished product. thinking of building a kitfox

Time lapse was good. Music not!

@@ronbarden7210 I get the impression your a real joy to be around

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. The song is Tukka Yoot's Riddim by US3.

pilot5173 Thanks! I just bought it on iTunes! Excellent piece of music! I dream of flying one day. In the meantime, I will have to stick to my Microsoft Flight X. Happy and safe flying! ~Peace

JD. Sorry for the late response. Hopefully you've made a decision on which kit to go with and you're building already. As for the kitfox / sonex decision, my Dad had the same question. His decision to go with the Kitfox was based less on cost and more on usability: more room and easier ingress/egress. As for cost, I've never asked him the total as I figure it's kind of like asking a lady her age. That said, you can do some basic math by looking at the kitfox pricelist. Quick build kit, upholstery kit, rotax 912, prop. Plus add in the Dynon SkyView, intercom, breaker panel, radio, paint, etc etc etc. I suspect the total is somewhere in the range of 3x the firewall back kit price. Good luck.

Bob, empty weight ended up just shy of 800lbs.

It doesn't need to be that strong. The frame does; the fabric used for wrapping is synthetic, and is certified for aircraft covering. It is popular with "bush planes" (planes that often land/take off away from a runway), because they are easy to repair if the fabric is torn or damaged.

Kitfoxes website just google them and contact them through their contacsite

2 years

Pat, the frame comes already welded and powder coated from Kitfox

السلام عليكم كيفك ابو المين لو تفيدنا بخبرتك وتصنع وحدة

Builders prerogative, but it's certainly not against the law, nor should it be. When you build yours, you can certainly put it on conventional gear. ;-) ...or floats, or skis.

I'm just messing with you man, solid airplane. What kind of Rotax you got there?

No worries. The engine is a 912UL (carbureted).

umm he chose to do this. Most planes are built in factories
