Do you know if Kitfox offers a balistic parachute system and if so did you install one or would you consider installing one. I know theyre pricey but safety first.
As far as I know they do not offer the system. There are a few kit foxes that I have seen on line that have put the system in. I really don't see a need to carry the extra weigh since I can land almost anywhere if I am high enough to put the chute. Then you have to have them repacked every 5 years I believe. Just my opinion but I don't see much safety factor in a slow low flying plane. In a high speed night flying plane, that would be a different story. Harlan
@KitfoxPilot i see and all valid. I too have seen experimental aircraft install the system in planes thst weren't originally designed for a parachute system. Just curious what your thoughts were. Thx
@KitfoxPilot nice to know. I'm getting closer to putting a plane in my life. Two kids in college are holding my back. If you had to do it all over again would build a kitfox?
