I should mind my own business, but I would say perhaps lower your sights for a bit. There are some cheap Kitfoxes sitting around that were never completed or in need of a rebuild. Not later models, but maybe a 1, 2 or ever perhaps a 3. Unless it sold, there is a Kitfox 1 in Ca. that needs some work that could be had for about $5000. They are out there. Avid Flyers as well. If you can't run yet, try walking first..... :-) JImChuk
