    Seems about right to me John. Everyone seems to be in the 110-125 range with the Model 7 with the standard wing.

    That kind of performance with the 915 Turbo and STI at 17,500 is pretty cool.

    Auto-Pilot would be really worth the weight at that point.

    Anyone know how high a kitfox has been? I think John had mentioned the flight levels?

    17,500 is the highest I’ve hear. 500’ short of flight levels.

    I will try and find the interview, but John mentioned they have had one up in the flight levels. I will file and take mine up to the flight levels when done with my GoPro😬

    That would be nice to see.

    I got mine up to 17,200' on a Phase 1 flight to find out what the service ceiling was. I took off at gross weight and kept climbing till it wouldn't go anymore.
