    Yes I plan to stay in LSA if possible! So in a Kitfox 7 you can load folding bycicles? I havent seen one in real but in pictures it looks like a narrow area to load through above the seats and below the top of fuse!

    Thanks

    And I load them through the removable turtle deck.

    Those are two Dahon Mu folding bikes, 20lbs each.

    Here is a comparison in travel comfort that might interest some...As far as hombuilts go I have flown in an RV-7 (round trip) from Phoenix to OshKosh
    and I have made the trip from Phoenix to Boise (round trip) in a Kitfox IV three times. The RV certainly wins as a time machine in speed, but the Kitfox took the comfort prize every time. The design of the seats have been well thought out and designed for the KF.

    Hello Bandit

    We do not have a LSA classification in Canada. Suggest you go to the TC website and review the regulations before going too far.
    I thought you were coming down here to at least see what a completed Model V looks like.

    Hi Don,

    I was meaning to and of course, it had to be one of those weeks! I am sorry that I didn't get back to you, and will try as soon as I possibly can! I don't usually have a lot of time in the summer and the week I planned on going to Penticton, everything went sideways! I am going to try again next week sometime, and if it still works for you I will give you a call!

    Thanks
    Brent

    Oh and I know it isn't LSA but is ultralight in Canada, but correct me if I am wrong, it is a similar class?

    Thanks
    Brent
