    Default No flying today!

    Though I have become pretty comfortable with the Kitfox in windy conditions this might be a bit much. The airport is putting new doors on some of the hangars so I was suposed to be out on a tie down this month, glad I found someone who just sold his plane a was willing to rent me his hangar.

    Congrats. on snagging a hangar Dorsal for the duration of the storm. Best of luck. Those are very Kitfox unfriendly wind speeds.

    Now you guys know what we in the south east deal with most years. The Carolina's get this a lot. Hope all get there foxes inside. Great thing about a Kitfox is we can fold em up and put em inside small places. Try that with others. Be safe up there guys, we're sending help every day. Power trucks on I 95 rolling.
