Matt,
I am with you all the way in this, but time marches on. I was on an email
list for Kitfox starting in early 1993. It went on for a time, then
Matronics sort of inherited (Or took over) the effort. Then Team Kitfox -
at least as far as Kitfox is concerned - took over in a sort of
insurgency. I was not happy at the time, but time marches on and I am only
one voice. Now, and Kitfox related, as is my interest, Team Kitfox has
been blindsided by one of its more prolific members opening a Facebook
private group. Looking at the traffic on all of these groups indicates
that traffic has reduced to a trickle of what it once was. And then
considering that Kitfox that shipped 40 or more kits a month when I got
involved and after several new owners, ships 3 kits a month today. Am I
happy, NO, but I am one voice.
I can't remember the last post to the Matronics Kitfox list. And recall
only about two, each with a couple of responses in the Rotax Engines list.
Many things are changing. One of Sacramento's larger shopping malls is in
redevelopment and the talk is to transform it into an apartment focused
residential area. Do most of us like it? I doubt it, but.... Probably
time to move on.

Matt, I read Lowell Fitt's letter to you. I am afraid I am of the same
opinion as Lowell. I have been a Kitfox Matronics subscriber for years. The
site was worth gold years ago. I could not have completed the rebuild of my
plane without it and the info from Lowell and other members. But, there is
no longer activity on the site. I really was disappointed in Team Kitfox's
site and did not use it. As Lowell pointed out "Kitfox" is not the Kitfox
of the past.
I wish to thank you for your past efforts. I still have my Model III. I
miss all those old Kitfox members and have for a long time now.

Matt, Lowell and Pat have hit the proverbial nail on the head. There was a
time in 2006 when I had my first Kitfox, this list was a daily read and ve
ry valuable information from very talented and friendly individuals.
But times have changed for sure. The Facebook groups seem to be growing, un
fortunately.
I am sure we all appreciate everything you have given to make this forum la
st and be useful.
All the best, Grant

You know, guys, all it takes is for a few people to start a conversation. Ma
ybe not for the technical help we all once relied upon, but maybe the advent
ures we have with our airplanes. I=99m as guilty as any of us.
After I wrecked my Model IV-1200 in 2004 I bought a new Series 6 kit. I did s
ome work on it over the next few years but eventually decided that the deman
ds of work and life were keeping me away from it too much. So, when a comple
ted Series 7 went up for sale in Oklahoma, I bought it.
I flew it back to Arizona and installed a Stratus ADS-B transponder in time t
o get the FAA =9Crebate.=9D Then, I decided it was time for some
thing more modern than the steam gauges the builder had used, so I built a n
ew, all-glass instrument panel for it that I just recently installed. I need
to finish hooking up the engine sensors and have Murle over to do an annual
, then I=99m ready to test it out.
