Snark away Ralph!
I stubled over to their site and fell onto their pricing page.
Looks like a bit over a couple AMU’s plus expenses for 10 hrs. So 3-4 AMU’s roughly. 😮
Weather dependent, it could stretch out a while...
Anyone else in the country do “type ratings” for kitfox? 😃
Re: Kitfox Training and Insurance Qualifications.
Back country training is of course dependent on the back country strips being open by Mother Nature's schedule. Getting training for an upcoming first flight of a newly completed Kitfox is another matter. That might be scheduled easier than back country training.

If you haven’t seen it yet, this sums up Stick and Rudder including lodge stays.
Our trip in May.

Josh, if that video does not convince folks, nothing will!!! Great, great job there, Mister. It did seem like you were driving a little fast on the highway in the beginning, though.... :D
Re: Kitfox Training and Insurance Qualifications.
I would love to get into the stick N rudder school but It seems about $2k to get in there and out with about 5-10 hours of time in their aircraft. Kind of rough when I have a IV I can fly for $20/hr.
I would really be tempted if I could fly my fox to them and train in it. Just got to cross the hurdle of being able to get insured in my Fox as a 0 time guy... Really tough.

Btw, I ended up getting my tailwheel endorsement from John Halterman recommended by Paul. I believe he was trained by Paul as well. Located in North Texas.

Re: Kitfox Training and Insurance Qualifications.
Hockeystud, S&R state that they will bring plane to you. That would suggest that they might consider coming to you without the plane and teach you in yours. Instead of paying for your lodging food and travel costs while at S&R you would just pay the instructors expenses as if they were yours. And you get to sleep in your own bed. Give Paul a call.
Re: Kitfox Training and Insurance Qualifications.
You could also put your plane on a trailer and haul it to them if there is a place to keep it there while you train in it?? We all like to save some money, but just think of how much it will cost to repair something if you mess up. JImChuk
