Good to hear, John. Good luck to you. Hope to fly with you sometime. Now I need to take my plane to Joe to balance the carbs. I have the Carb Mate but just can't seem to figure out how to use the ...

Yep. And strength, durability, stability, quality, looks, etc.

John, I saw your plane yesterday. It's looking real good. You really should put the Grove gear on it. It makes a world of difference. I put it on my plane and love it.

John,
You might want to talk with Joe Garfield (801-791-6769) at the Morgan airport. He is very good with tube and fabric. He is an A&P and has helped me and others a lot with welding. Feel fre ...

I used King School also. I found them very easy and fast to learn from.

Lloyd,
Thanks for your reply. Too many of us have been silent too long just hoping we weren't right. Rant over (for now).

Beautiful. Simply beautiful. Thank you, BJ. The area around Bryce Canyon is super cool. Been there a few times and will be going back next spring.
Here's a shot from one of my favorite spots clos ...

BJ,
Ah, yes. The ol' "Two Cuting Board" trick. You know Dirty Harry would be smiling with a great big .44 mag grin! Idea

Pete,
Yes, great question.

BJ,
Great answer(s), on both issues. That helps us other old timers. Having pulled many farm type trailers down the road most of my life I have learned the best approa ...

Guy,
Yes, the FAA thinks they now are "hangar police", so does Homeland Security under the guise of TSA. We have all of the above at my home airport and they do try to wave a heavy hand. My ...

Yea, Pete, I understand. I currently pay $300/month for an unheated T hangar. But, with the Kitfox I also store my pickup camper and 4 horse trailer in it. And, no hangar rash because no one else is i ...

Pete,
Thanks for posting the trailer info.

Guy,
Yes, I like your style. I have 3" letters, above the horizontal stabilizer that run vertical, not horizontal!

BJ,
Nice photos, especially the beach landing. I've landed on the shore ( ...

The BLM strip is our kind of place. Bet you could land a Kitfox on the heli rock if it's as flat as it looks.

BJ,
Great photos! Thanks for sharing your adventures. You are sure livin' the life. Tell us more about your trailer. It looks sweet.

BJ,
Sounds like a great setup. My wife and I like to travel and camp. We have horses so use a pickup and 8.5' camper. I would like to do the same with my Kitfox as SE Utah is close by and a great pla ...

BJ,
Great report. Thank you. It sounds like you use an enclosed trailer. Is that correct? Any photos of your set up? Is your trailer single or double axle? Do you put your plane on the trailer fac ...

Pat,
Yes, I do understand the uniqueness of the building quality of sites like these, and agree that's why most posts are centered around building. I'm just not smart enough, nor willing to put in th ...

It appears that many do follow this list, when it is active. And when people are building they tend to post more than when they are flying. The TKF list seems to be the same way in that builders post ...

Lowell,
Wow! And thanks! I haven't see that one. I will print that and add it to my 85DD history collection.

I agree with you about names. Like you said, it's hard to go to a fly-in and hear nam ...
