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.
