    Moved my Model 7 to the airport today, now for reassembly, inspection and some test flights.

    Hey Marv...Congrats on the next big step....Brings back memories. In my case it was the Middle of December, 10 degrees F and a 30 MPH wind....made the move one day before we got 8" of snow. Glad you didn't have that to deal with that!

    Wishing you great success on that first flight.

    I'm still trying to figure out why you bolted it to the wall and are lying on your backs admiring it?? ;-) Jim Chuk

    Marv, I took it off the wall and put it back on the floor. Hope that was OK.

    Yes, thanks Steve guess I didn't notice. Just want to say thanks to Steve for starting me on this journey with a ride in his Four and then in Papa's Seven, I was hooked. Then a trip to Boise and 11 hours with Paul at Stick and Rudder and a factory tour meeting John and Debra and the crew. Wow what a fantastic aircraft the Kitfox is! Thanks to everyone that contributes here couldn't have done it without the forum. Very exciting times, soon it will be my turn to get someone hooked.

    Happy to see another Kitfox lover born from something as simple as a ride. Truth is that is all it usually takes in this airplane Marv is a ride to set the lifetime "hook". I never got that ride but resolved to give as many as I could when I got my Kitfox. Well over 200 now. It is always a thrill watching an aviator discovers the aircraft they've been searching for and dreaming of.
    Marv, you will be a good ambassador for the design and I know you will extend that hospitality to others in the future just as so many others on our forums have done. Looking forward to glowing reports on the flight characteristics of your new Kitox and, maybe a ride.

    Great looking plane Marv! I seem to recall a ride Desert Fox 4 gave me about 10 years go and it led me down a very similar path. These planes are as addicting as any drug I know. They give you a little taste and before you know it you're looking for another fix. Heck, I don't mind telling you I can be found main-lining as often as I can. Ha Ha

    The trip up to McCall put me over the top and all I can think of now is to get back up there and do some more back strip flying. You are hooked my friend and what better high can any of us ask for?
