There was an "Outdoor Recreation Symposium at the college and the organizers asked our EAA Chapter if we would put up a display. The College has a fairly large four year aviation degree program and several faculty and students are members of our chapter. The Kitfox generated lots of interest. Many of the aviation students came by and checked out the kitfox. They liked it! Some of the first year students are just now completing their private pilot rating and commented that the kitfox looked like it would be a blast to fly. Pictures attached.

Looks like it will work out just fine though. Got everything home today and even got to sit in it and make engine sounding noises while I moved the stick around. Got the wife to snap a few pictures even. Looked at them tonight and thought, there is a guy with his priorities in order, unfinished tin covered garage, but he has a plane in it!!!

Require 1 hour of flight training on the control and maneuvering of an airplane solely by reference to instruments for student pilots seeking a sport pilot certificate to operate an airplane with a maximum airspeed in level flight with maximum continuous power (VH) greater than 87 knots calibrated airspeed (CAS) and sport pilots operating airplanes with a VH greater than 87 knots CAS Notice it says "of AN airplane...." it dosen't specify that it must be LSA or sport pilot eligible. A Cessna 150 would cover that issue.

I hope this list only applies to pilots and instructors, and not to aircraft, otherwise it's a disappointment. I really thought they'd clarify the weight issue. And what about that altitude restriction! I guess Lynn will have to get the portable O2 system!

From: "darinh" I am curious where you guys have place inspection holes in your wings. I have placed one for access to the plumbing for the pitot tube and another for an OAT probe sensor for my Dynon but can't think of any other reason I need more. These wings don't have any moving linkages that are inside so can anyone tell me why I need any additional inspection holes? What has everyone else done? -------- Darin Hawkes Series 7 (Painting) 914 Turbo Kaysville, Utah Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=177812#177812 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kitfox-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kitfox-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kitfox-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kitfox-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
