It has been a while since I posted any photos or updates so here are a couple photos on the build. Yes that small wheel is in the front, I have over 500 hours in tailwheel planes. Most time is in a Rans S7 and L16A's so why not this one you might ask. I have been giving Young Eagle flights for several years and the kid has always been behind me and can not see out over the cowl very well or at all. When you sit in the typical Kitfox tailwheel configuration the same issue is there while sitting still, taxing and depending on your style of departure until you level off. This is of course can be somewhat different depending on the size tires and such, there is no right or wrong style here, personal preference. The Kitfox also gives me side by side seating, a big plus. Once in the air they pretty much fly the same. So this is my mission for this plane.
