    That was hard to watch. The way they tore up that nice airplane. They should have found one in need of new fabric to do that. -------- 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=355577#355577

    I think you are looking at a promotional sacrifice, the guy who donated and flew the aircraft is the same gentleman that owns the Belight design. I'm sure that plane has been re-covered back at the factory. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-kitfox-list-server@matronics.com > [mailto:owner-kitfox-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Tom Jones > Sent: October-20-11 2:38 PM > To: kitfox-list@matronics.com > Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: myth busters duct tape plane > > > That was hard to watch.

    Yeah, but that wasn't a registered airplane. That was a kitfox Lite ultralight. I own and fly a Kitfox IV with a Subaru engine on it, USA Registration Number N44CN. It's a real fun toy, gets off the ground quick (100-150') and flies at about 95 mph., lands almost as short with a stall speed of around 35 mph.

    Looked like a new plane. Guessing it came from the factory as a loan to get the free advertising. Bet it was back at the factory and recovered in a month. I also fly a Subaru powered classic IV. N205AK has a stratus conversion and about the same specs. It goes places that cessnas can only dream of.

    Just for the record, it isn't called a "kitfox" any longer, since Belite bought the rights to market it...or at least that is my understanding.
