There's a rancher in eastern WA Rowdy Barry that owns one. He can tell you all the ins and outs. Great guy

Gentlemen, when the enemy is committed to a mistake we must not interrupt him too soon.

Ive wanted a kitfox for years, two seat, not slow like a cub, wings fold so you dont have to pay hangar fees, economical...

Building one would be fun, but its way cheaper to buy one flying.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Those STi kits are pretty spendy, but I do like the idea of a turbo, sure be nice for density altitude take offs...like way up in the Frank Church at cabin creek....with a load of meat.
