Nov '08 KOTM - Bruce Hoisington

[Cowboy]

Bruce's plane is a perfect case study for the Kitfox's ability to switch landing gear configurations too.

I have a bunch of pics of Bruce's plane that I'm referring to as I build mine as an example of "how to do it right".

Randy, thanks for the November KOTM and I appreciate the very nice comments on the plane.

Thanks
Bruce

Bruce,
Great Airplane. I am new to the Kitfox world and am interested in purchasing and building after returning from Iraq. I have absolutely zero fixed wing time, for now! I love the Kitfox for many reasons, but the owner/builder aspect and the thrill of just playing around in the sky are a couple of them. You've got a great airplane. Your pride in workmanship shows in every detail. Look forward to getting to know more of the Kitfox Family as the reality of building my own grows closer.

Great Job,
Chris Holaday (CW2, US Army)

Chris,

On behalf of TeamKitfox Forums , welcome.
Glad you are considering a Kitfox for your civilian flying. We're happy and honored to have you as part of our Kitfox Family. A great big THANK YOU to you and all your fellow soldiers doing the hard work over there so we can enjoy the liberties that you guarantee. Please come home safe and let us know what we can do to help. If you've never flown a Kitfox let us know and we will get you a flight in one.
Just be warned. One flight and you will be hooked. The Kitfox has many fewer moving parts than the Blackhawk you currently fly and has a slightly lower operating cost per hour. Thanks again Chris and please keep in touch.

Beautiful Plane!
I am thinking of building a series 7, because I want a Tri-Gear, mainly because my daughter wants to learn to fly. I have 30+ hours of tail wheel time in a J3 & a C120, but it would be better for my daughter to learn in a Tri Gear. That is the reason I am thinking of getting a Series 7 so it can be convertable. Once my daughter learns to fly I can convert it back to a Tail Dragger.
One question about your plane, what is the Cruise speed, Climb Rate, etc. ?
