    Jim, and Glenn, My Kitfox Model II, started in 1989 and first flown in 1991 in the UK, is now a US registered and certificated ELSA (Experimental - Light Sport) and I am it's Repairman/Inspection rated owner. So there *is* such a thing as an ELSA Kitfox and I believe there are many others who have elected to certificate the new-build Kitfoxes as ELSA.

Let's try and keep the jargon straight. There is no such thing as a Kitfox ELSA. An ESLA is an airplane built from a kit that produces an EXACT copy of the equivalent factory-built SLSA. Kitfox Aircraft just introduced it's first SLSA (for $84,000+) and may in the future bring out an ESLA based on it, but so far all Kitfoxes are Experimental-Amateur Built. I assume that the reason you asked about ELSA Kitfoxes is because you are looking for a Sport Pilot legal airplane. A Sport Pilot can legally fly any airplane (LSA, Experimental, Type Certificated, or Ultralight) that does not exceed the limitations on the Sport Pilot credential. Model IV and earlier Kitfoxes without cockpit adjustable props are Sport Pilot legal, but any later series Kitfox is not, because the gross weight is too high. (Unless the builder had the foresight to certify the airplane at 1320# gross weight. A thorough check of the FAA records would be necessary to prove that.) -------- Jim Feldmann, 3rd owner 1994 Kitfox IV Speedster / 912 Working on my Sport Pilot Certificate Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=255662#255662

    Subject: Re: Seat belt damage
    From: "Tom Jones" <nahsikhs@elltel.net>
    Good post Mike. I figured that was a wear point so spent a lot of time checking the fit and making sure the edges of the seat belt slot in the seat were rounded and smooth as I could make them. I take the seat out and inspect the belts each condition inspection. I also extended the plastic tubing the rudder cables run in farther back than the manual showed to prevent the cables from rubbing on the out side seat belts. -------- Tom Jones Classic IV 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=255844#255844

    Congrats!!! My first flight was January '09 in N100VX Vixen. (Speedster wing.) The first flight is a big thrill, of course, but your fun is just beginning! The FAA only mandated 25 hours to me for phase I and I now have over 50 hours on " Alaula" (First light of dawn in Hawaiian.) I've also done a Young Eagle flight with our EAA chapter here in Hawaii.

    Subject: Rotec TBI success story
    I bought a Rotec TBI-40 mechanical fuel injection system while at Oshkosh, and spent the last 3 1/2 days making the throttle control bellcrank, the air intake tube adapter, and the fuel line, and after all checks and double-checks, I fired her up. The TBI performed as advertised....right out of the box. The first flight will come tomorrow. As advertised, this thing will not drip fuel like the other well-known Bing replacement on the market. Nothing against them, but I am VERY happy I made the decision...so far, anyway. Flying might be another thing, but so far, so good.

    It is Stan's plane. I spent a while talking with him about it, getting ideas for the restoration of my Mangy-Fox that I have now. (I got to have one of those cargo pods!) No better example to get ideas from and a very friendly, hospitable fellow in Stan, thank you.

    Congratulations, Stan Specht! Nice picture of your Kitfox Speedster. RECOGNIZED IT RIGHTAWAY as we flew together for 3-1/2 weeks all the way to Barrow Alaska in 2002. It was also nice to see you personally at AirVenture 2009. Herb Gottelt Kitfox 4-1200UL Mt.

    From: "Paul Franz - Merlin GT" <paul@eucleides.com>
    Pat's hotmail account was closed due to spamming from it. It was a breakin. Does anyone have a phone number for him? He lives near Rockford Illinois. I had just started to help him but his account was closed as I predicted and I don't seem to have his phone number. -- Paul A.

Can't get you to open up at all. ;-) What is the "other system" you're referring to; I don't know of any available on the open market.
