Another Kitfox takes to the air!

[ejoern]

Well, after 5.5 years in the build process, my Super Sport N716EB took to the skies yesterday and flew fantastic right off the bat. The 912Is ran flawlessly with all temps and pressures in the green. I would like to thank my brother Jeff for serving as my test pilot and instructor. He is also a Kitfox owner with over 500 hours and he is a professional ATP as well. He did a great job of flying the first flight with me and then spent a number of hours with me making sure I was comfortable before stepping out and letting me take the controls by myself. I had a great time. Hats off to John and Debra and the Kitfox team and forum members for all the help and support. Its been quite the rewarding experience and bucket list item. I will collect some pics and maybe video's and post them in the next day or so.

Oh that’s great news Eric!! Congratulations on a job well done! I’m ashamed that I haven’t gotten down there to see you recently... maybe someday soon. Have fun and enjoy your new bird!

Fantastic Eddie

I’m quite a ways off from first flight but you guys that preceded me give the inspiration to push forward.
