    Way to go chase! Excuse my ignorance, but so much input to this forum, yet this is your first? Surely not? Great looking plane. Any details? Model, Engine, Avionics? More pics are expected when you gt her home! Congrats again!

    Love it Chase. Knew you had to have another one before too long.
    Happy birthday BTW.
    Nice present from a great wife.


    Enjoy modifying it and making it yours.
    Great talking with you Thursday.

    this will be my second kitfox it's been since 2000 since my last which I had to sell along with all my other planes( 7 of them) to finance finding my daughter,..

    model 5 outback,.it has a 912ul,..completed in 2006, has a little over 500 hrs on it,..registered lsa weighs in at 750 empty very basic panel,..which I am going to redo ,..so it is very basic,,which is fine with me,..I will mount my ifly in it,..add nav lights,..wheel pants,..and any mods that will help cruise/fuel burn,..but other then that,..the only thing I wish it had that it doesn't have is the bump cowl,..I like the bump cowl better,which down the road can be changed
