    If one was to include all the variations that spawned from the original Avid/Kitfox design, I'm fairly certain it is the most popular experimental kitplane in the world. Where I live there are significantly more Kitfox type aircraft around than there are RV's. And there definitely seems to be more interest than ever in Kitfoxes, Highlanders, etc than anything else I hear about.

    I like the Vans RV airplanes a lot. But the Kitfox offers much more versatility along with much lower operating costs. So I believe as time goes on the Kitfox will only become more popular.

    Zenith is right up there. I recall that they had sold 5000+ kits a few years back including high wing and low wing designs. At the time, RV was #1 and Zenith was #2.

    How many are flying is another matter.

    I thought I heard Kitfox had close to 5000 flying, with many more than that sold.

    for me it depends on which hangar I go into.

    OK I can't hold it in any longer.

    The KitFox is Number 1 in my books andf that's all that matters.

    I am sure there are many here that feel the same.
