Monitor the list every day. My partner and I finished our KF-4 (N23PK) in =9996. Now has abt 525 hrs (150 or so on a 912ULS). Should be flying it more, but I=99m approaching 85 years old and slowing down a little, besides having other airplanes I fly fairly often.

It is neat to have the emails come in the inbox instead of going to the website. Had a 5 Vixen back in 2007. It was great fun. I sold it a month before a hangar fire in the next T hangar, totaled my Bonanzaand I had no insurance on the Vixen. Two years ago I found an almost finished 7 SS with a Continental and flew it a year, but then needed to go faster and went back to a 62 Bonanza. Lyle, I hear you. I am 74 and certainly cannot do what I used to dobut I keep on keeping on. I have a friend in Gainesville, Fl., who just sold his Bonanza and is looking for something else to fly--he is 86! There is a line in the "The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel" movie said by an older man who has memory problems"first the knees and then the names." I am nearing the "knees" part. lol Y'll take care, Grant, Gainesville, GA.

Joel near Seattle ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 12:10:38 PM PST US Subject: Kitfox-List: Re: still here also From: "jrevens" Although I haven't actively posted on this forum, I'm a builder of a S7 SS for several years, just getting close to flying. I get the email compilation of daily posts (if any) every day, and always check it. Having been a user of bulletin board type forums since they first existed, I fully appreciate them... I'm glad to see a little activity here. However, I think that the attitude shown by one recent poster, stating that the Team Kitfox forum was a "pain in the "a##" should be rebutted. I'll tell you what is a pain in the you know what - when people post to a forum like this and somehow include every previous posting on that thread at the end of theirs. It is a genuine pain to scroll through dozens & dozens of duplicate posts, over & over again before you can get to the next new one. Team Kitfox has literally thousands of viewers and participants, and the value to builders and enthusiasts is great. There are features that make it very nice to use, posting pictures, searching, etc. I'm not here to sell that site to anyone, and I think this forum is good and important - but I support anything relating to this great airplane in all its incarnations. -------- John Evens Thorp T-18 N71JE (built & flying) Kitfox SS7 N27JE (building) Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=467881#467881 ________________________________ Message 8 _____________________________________ Time: 04:09:03 PM PST US From: Patrick Reilly Subject: Re: Kitfox-List: Re: still here also John, Thanks for the rebuttal. Sorry bout it, but this is a user friendly site format. Team Kitfox with secret screen names, pass words, etc is still a pain in the ass.
