Re: My Baby
Oh and by the way, I had my first start today with no issues. I tried to upload a video from my IPad and it tells me that the file type is not recognized. That 912 sounded wonderful. I am going down to Idaho for my tailwheel endorsement with Stick & Rudder and more training as I haven't flown PIC in 31 years. My first flight is looking to be about May 17 if my inspection goes well :)

Re: My Baby
Stan, congrats on several topics but really, way to go on the empty weight! She'll be a great performer. Betting the inspection goes well.

Re: My Baby
Oh great to hear Stan. Your story somewhat parallels my own. I have not PICd anything in 25 years myself and have the same plans made as you regarding Stick and Rudder. Great looking Kitfox. Congrats on the first start.

Stan,
I sent you a PM about the Stewart paint.

Re: My Baby
Stan, I'm really curious how you came out with a 736# empty weight? Mine came out 834#, almost 100 lbs heavier. In your empty weight did you include: engine oil & coolant, unusable fuel, fuel in the header tank, the bigger tires, all interior carpets/cushions, everything painted, baggage compartment, lift strut fairings? My weight also included the heavier duty ABW tailwheel.

Jim & Stan, my Series 5 came in at 833 LBS. Way to go Stan.
