    Default EAA OSH 2016 video

    Just watched the short video clip that EAA has of homebuilts at Oshkosh this year. So the question is, Who is that with a Kitfox shown in the video?

    Which video? I watched the one that came out in this week's EAA email, but it was mostly about RVs and Sonex. I didn't see a Kitfox in it.

    Could be wrong, but it looks like a Kitfox at 1:01 seconds in.

    You are correct, but there isn't much to identify it.

    It looks like it is a model 5 or newer with bungee landing gear. The wing is all white with purple on the wingtips and flaperon tips. There is a card on the prop that says "Auto engine conversion". It has a smooth cowl and a 3 blade Warp Drive prop. It's going to be hard to ID unless someone is familiar with the plane.

    Here is the link: https://youtu.be/Mudw9g5oJvE

    I copied this from the video.

    That's an Avid, I think.

    Avid is my thought as well, got the avid style cowl right where the air enters to cool the cylinders.
