Stopped in at SS Tuesday to look around. It didn't look anymore "wonderful" than before. Only 4 cars in the lot. All those new employees necessary to build the new sports planes must be waiting elsewhere to work. But then I flew all night to get there and was a little tired and confused. Maybe I missed something that should have inspired me? Sorry, but I am still worried about them.

They are only making the -7 ones now, but they said there were a good number of upgrades being done. You might contact them for names and addresses for those that changed to -7's, if you need used -5 flapperons. If you contact someone who upgraded, they will have removed the control horns etc off theirs, so you will have to re-add them. The upgrade is about $1000, plus shipping. You too will have to use parts off your old ones though. I got the impression that they could get new flapperons off pretty quickly though. Kurt S.

You probably seen the one that has the Aerocet floats. They no longer manufacture these but there are some used sets for sale every now and then.Have you heard of the Full Lotus floats?

Other than that one photo skystar had no other info or contact, no name of the floats or the like. To be honest I think I am a bit too cosmetic minded, the floats I saw had the look of aluminum anfibs you would see on a cessna 185, but small, very attractive. Most of the floats I see for the Fox are "duck feet" plastic, huge, unatractive. Don't get me wrong, I live in Southeast Alaska and need them to be hearty, durable, rugged floats too, but maybe that's why I never married, I want it all! >From: "Marc Arseneault" >Reply-To: kitfox-list@matronics.com >To: kitfox-list@matronics.com >Subject: RE: Kitfox-List: Kitfox 4 on Czech floats question >Date: Sun, 30 May 2004 22:19:42 -0400 > >--> Kitfox-List message posted by: "Marc Arseneault" > > > >Hi Kyle, > > >Can you tell me under what did you see these floats on Skystar's website as >there are a few on floats.
