My Kitfox is ready to Fly but I need to get current and certified in a Kitfox but there are no CFIs around me that are certified in a Kitfox . How did you guys get started flying your planes? Is there a list of instructors anywhere? I know stick and rudder aviation does it in Idaho but I am in NY state.
You might give a call to Paul Leadabrand at Stick & Rudder and see if he knows someone teaching in a Kitfox out East. It seems like I heard that he sold one of his older flight school Kitfox's to a flight school on the East coast. Maybe I am dreaming, but its worth a try.
I have been talking to him but he did not mention it . His weather is too iffy this time of year he said.
I did find a fellow KF guy that is a LS Cfi near me but my 7 is certified at 1550 so I am not sure how that effects the training I am already private pilot but need to get current.

Do they have a kitfox to train in?
Hi. I’m having the same issue..... How do fly a new certified kitfox 4 for the 40 hours if you can’t train in it and nobody around has Kitfox experience.
I’m in Dutchess NY
LSA Kitfox and 1550 Kitfox will fly the same. I did my tailwheel endorsement in a LSA Kitfox in Texas... If you want that guys info, let me know. Good luck.Quote:

They specialize in only kitfox training and can answer your question about the 40 hours. I could not find anyone on the east coast. I have a couple local instructors with KItfox time but no airplane and I don't have insurance son mine to rent it. Stick and rudder is set up for what you need.
I put my 7SS in the FAA Additional Pilot program my CFI has Kitfox 3 and 7 time he flew the first 10 hrs with me
I have a lot of time and a fair amount if tailwheel time one thing I found was that the aircraft was a dream to fly, only a couple of snags in 10 hrs, the problem was ME
