Kitfox First Flight
Просмотров 2306 месяцев назад
2.5 years after bringing the Kitfox home I finally take it into the air. It was a long journey and I learned a lot along the way. It was so satisfying to see all of my hard work pay off. #backcountryflying #kitfox #experimentalaircraft #stol #taildragger

Repairing my Ground Looped Kitfox
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.9 месяцев назад
In this first video it's all about the frame. I explain the backstory and get right into the process of repairing the longerons. I ended up cutting out the whole section and replacing all the tubing rather than trying to salvage any of it. #kitfox #backcountryflying #stol #experimentalaircraft
So glad you are enjoying your plane. Fly-ins are fun. My Model 2 Kitfox did fly, but I need to adjust the wings. It has a heavy left wing. Everything else is fine. Still looking for light sport flight instruction, but it should be easier when the new MOSAIC is in effect.
Nice Video. Nice meeting you at the Fly-in. We bugged out pretty quickly on Saturday due to the incoming weather.
Hey Pilot! Great to see you enjoying your aviation adventure! 👍
Hey mate, would you have some dimensions on the fwd support brace for the Wing. I have a Skyfox here in Aus I need to transport 2000kms. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers
When I get home today I will take some measurements and get back to you
Overall length of the brace is 56inches. The straight part is 42 inches and then the curves start. The braces are made out of electrical tubing so easy to hammer flat for the wing bolt and also bend to attach at the wing strut.
Cheers mate, greatly appreciated
So glad to see her flying again!
It’s a blast! Totally was worth the work and patience!
Thanks for posting. I enjoyed the flying!
Keep it up. Good job

Good video.
What did you do about replacing the tail position light?😳
Don’t have one. My plane is set up for day VFR. If I fly at night I’ll have to add a tail position light
What did you do about replacing the tail position light?
GG man

@@Statue_13 Great to see you putting your mojo on 'er! Keep fixing and tweaking! Your are very honest about what your going to do and how your going about it. With enough time you and airplane will both be refined. Given your your good attitude you will get to altitude.😁👍
@@WatchmanForthePeople thanks for encouragement!
Good job! The first time I painted some aircraft parts on a Boeing 737 I was told that my paint job should be in the Olympics! Because it had a bunch of runs!
great job
Keep up the content!!
Today is 15 Feb. 2024 and I just found this video. It is hard to find how to repair different problems on Kitfox airplanes. on the internet. I started a channel too to show what and how I repaired stuff on my plane. I like Teamkitfox but sometimes the info one needs is not there. I can't figure out how to load repair vids on Teamkitfox. Anyhow I subscribed and can't wait to see more videos. Don't worry about video editing, All my videos are just plain raw.
I can relate. There’s so much info on teamkitfox it’s hard to sift through it all to find exactly what you need sometimes. Plus, I like visually seeing it. More vids are on the way!
Nice job. Good to see "real " people out there just being honest and true. Don't worry about the fancy cameras and video production. Main goal is to get that bird safe and have fun. Appreciate you sharing the experience. Keep us informed on your progress. Thanks.
I've been through this type of work a few times, and I would say this, if one is going to reinforce the sides, I believe the reinforcement should extend back to the lift strut brackets. Notice, it bent right at the end of the plate reinforcement. That is not a particularly strong area to stop at. There is a lot more structure at the lift strut bracket area. But no matter what, a bad enough landing will bend anything. Get it fixed and get it flying. The Kitfox 4 is a nice airplane. And keep up the videos!
