    Pete,
    Yes, I called Kitfox too for doors for my model 1. They did not have them. I also called LP Aero Plastics and they wanted $550 for a tinted set (plus freight) plus $3,000 for the mold to make doors for a model 1.

    I just checked with my manufacturer and they confirmed they can make doors for the model II, or Avid for $400/set, clear or tinted, your choice. They will need one door frame from your airplane to use in making the mold. When I sent them my door frame, I had it back, with the new doors in about 2 weeks time. You pay for the freight both ways, which was about another $150 from/to Utah.

    Steve please contact me when you get a chance.

    Caution guys.. The reason we do not have specific bubble doors for the Model 1 and the Model 2 is because there where about 3 different frames. We can have them made but need the door frames from your aircraft to be able to provide them.
