Hello! There is a Kitfox model IV - 1200 that was built in 1998 and flew for a little over 300 hours, but has been hangered the last 20 years. I am looking to start flying it, hopefully pretty soon. I am looking for as much information as I can get about it. I know this is a lot of information and I am brand new into Kitfox so anything helps.

Service/Maintenance Help
  • It has a Rotax 912 UL 80 HP engine.
  • It has the standard bungee gear. (Replace bungees?)
  • What are things that should be looked into/thought about before getting it airworthy again? (I know everything, but anything Kitfox specific? Checklists?)
  • How do you find any service bulletins for it?
  • Anything else to know about getting a kitfox airworthy that has sat for so long?


Flying Help
  • I got my tailwheel endorsement in a Cessna 140
  • Is this an easy transition?
  • Flight manuals?
  • Things to know about flying a kitfox in general?
  • Tips, Tricks, Techniques?


Thank you in advance!
