    Hey everyone, just wanted to say hi, I just joined teamkitfox, don't have one yet, I just started to get back into flying after about 25 yrs or so. Started taking lessons again last yr and still love it. I'm going to try and buy a plane this winter, looking for a complete 4,5,6 or 7. I can't have any projects because of a time restraint and also want to stick to the LSA class. I only want to fly for fun and live in the mountains so I'll need a 912 for the power. Thanks for reading, if you did. JON

    I can see them too. I just have to cock my head up a little so they show up in the right spot in my glasses!

    Hi Jon
    I am just north of you across the border. Did the same thing as you after about 25 year "drought". Bought a Model 5 Vixen 3 years and currently running 100 hours per year. Keep at it!!
    Cheers

    Jon,
    Sounds like me, but that was almost 20 years ago that I started again after 25 years, so I think I have a few years on you. Kitfox is a good choice. Are you tailwheel or are you going tri gear.

    Thanks to all of you for the replies, I knew there was a pretty large group of kitfox dogs in the area cause Kelly told us so! Anyway it'll be great to get to know all of you better and pick your brains with any and all advice I may need (concerning the plane) I have part Canadian in me cause I bought my drill rig up there........and they kept a big part of me!...... JON
