    Default Could this be the first KitFox to Fly

    A friend is restoring this KitFox Serial Number 002

    Could this be the first KitFox to ever fly? The documentation seems to say so

    Not to be a killjoy, but that does not look like a Kitfox 1.

    The door shape is wrong.

    Yep, door is not right to be a model 1 Kitfox.

    Here is the # 1 or possibly # 2 Kitfox Model 1 kit sold according to Dan Denney.
    Just now being built for the first time here in Phoenix.

    Obviously not the first one to fly but the oldest kit not yet built and flying.
