    Default We have an Airplane!

    Got that pretty little pink card from the DAR today!
    It took 2 1/2 years and 2250 hrs. of mostly enjoyable and very educational build time. I must say that the information I've gotten from this forum has been invaluable. Thanks to everyone for the great support.
    Now I'm headed out to Stick and Rudder in June to get current and tailwheel qualified. It's going to seem like an awfully long time to wait for that first flight, but I'm excited about learning from the Kitfox training experts.

    They are the Desser 21/800-6 tires

    The tailwheel is the 8" Matco that came stock with the kit.
