    After 2 1/2 years finally complete. The day that I received my sign off from the inspector, L05 (Kern Valley) was shut down for TFR's until early in the morning of Sept 4 (almost 3 weeks). Currently working off the checkout period!!

    Congratulations. I did a crow hop with mine today after a 3 year rebuild. Kind of a special time isn't it.

    Congrats, that' a nice looking bird. Can you tell us a little more about the plane/engine/avionics. Enjoy the flying! I have almost 70 hours since my first flight in February this year.

    Nothing like a new Kitfox to bring forward retirement Phil!
