Another beautiful KF is added to the fleet.
Thanks a bunch for all of the kind words fellas.
I bought this kit off of the Classifieds section here in 2011, then took way too much time trying to get it finished.
I also stopped flying during the entire build process, so had to get back into the saddle starting back in June. Fortunately, I met a terrific local EAA member who has a Kitfox V, and he generously let me fly his plane for several hours in preparation for my first flight. That was a huge help in putting my mind at ease for the first flight; ok, not "at ease," but close enough.
I have a lot to learn about the plane, the 912ULS and the electric IVOProp, so I will make good use of the forty hours.
My panel is pretty simple, and I think I went over-kill on the tablet (gps) size, but everything seems to function OK so far.
Nicely done Doug!

Well thought out and well finished panel Doug. Congrats.
Like that slip indicator. Where did you procure that?
Great to see another Kitfox finished and in the air. Nice simple panel Doug. Congratulations and hope the flight testing goes well for you.
And Josh, as Ross said, 21 and and almost finished your build. Really happy for you. Oh that I had such thoughts when I was your age ...... but never too late.:D
Thanks guys!
Desertfox4, I had to dig deep on that slip indicator question, but I found it:

Would love to see your airplane
