Thanks for watching!

Merci, nous aimons nous amuser quand nous le pouvons. Haha

Appreciate it

Thanks Luca. We appreciate you watching and commenting.

Thanks 👍

Thanks T Man. Keep me up on your build as it happens and if you need anything I will be glad to assist with info if I can.

@@KitfoxPilot Thanks Harlan. I definitely think I'll be reaching out. Take Care. Todd

Thanks Mark

My STi kit is arriving around October 1st. I, too, am a first time builder. 😬 So I hope to be following your steps by next fall/winter. I’ve been talking to a few other builders on the site, and they have been very helpful.

@@markperkins5664 team kitfox is a great place to learn at. I hope to be able to help you if I can when you get yours.

It's my pleasure

Matt Kalin When is your kit arriving? Was it Julyish?

Mark Perkins Kitfox said late May early June! I’m getting excited!

Mine is scheduled for mid-September, but with the reduced factory production, I’m thinking mid-October. 🤞 I’m getting excited also! I’m bummed AirVenture was cancelled this morning. I really enjoy seeing what others have built.

Thanks Josh, I did learn that later in the build.

Hi Matt, I have watched most of yours and you are much better in front of a camera then me. Haha. Look forward to seeing yours completed!

@@KitfoxPilot Hello Sir, thanks for the confidence boost! I have done some silly things in front of the camera forgetting that “I” am the editor and can cut whatever I want out. The first time I picked up the Cleco pliers, I turned away from the camera so I could figure out how they worked before filming it! Have a great day. I’m working on putting in the seat pan. It seems that most of the front edge covers up the floor boards at the front. Did you trim all that overlap off or at least the areas where they cover up the screws holding the floor boards in place? Have a great day, Matt

@@KingFox76 I think I just ground a relief area out where the pan sits over the screws and left it long. But you can do it either way. Seems like I just put a straight edge on the seat pan and made the front straight and cut off some on the back to make it straight and shorter. The edges need to be shorter than the door frame area or you will drag on them getting in and out. You have a great day too!

@@KitfoxPilot Thanks for the help with that, I will go get to cutting! Hopefully Spring will show up soon. Take care, Matt

Yes we did just don't lean on the walls. haha

Thanks, I hope you enjoy and see something that will help you on your build.

Hello Henry. I found mine at Oshkosh a couple years ago and put a down payment after the show. Hope you enjoy the channel!

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words , we are very busy at work this time of year but still knocking out some work on the plane. Check out our latest video, we just put the wings on! That give us a whole new push. Thanks for watching. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jcmEobCTyLClpmQ.html

Roger, this was a normal STi kit with the quick build wing option. i think the quick build wing is standard now with the STi wing.

Yes sir that is a quick build kit pictured.

@@KitfoxPilot thank you sir!

The wings are the quick build wings and come as pictured. The current prices of the kit is up a lot and can be found at kitfoxaircraft.com

@@KitfoxPilot Did you feel that silver covering for the wings was worth it sorry I don’t remember the name of it is it quite a bit more expensive and does it take the place of painting at all thanks for responding to my first question. I’m really considering one I have an area that could be a runway on my property I’m a commercial pilot retired these things just look like a blast. Oh by the way is this your first build

@@Nordviking8 Hi Gary. It is my first build. The cost of the oratex fabric figured out to be very close to a painted plane and 200+ hours less work and it is a stronger fabric. If you want a show plane you have to paint your plane. If you want a nice working plane then oratex is good. It can be painted but that defeats the purpose I bought it for. A runway at home is the only way to go!

@@KitfoxPilot Your videos are very good I like the fact of showing those little tips and tricks that you’ve learned from other builders to pass along I was thinking that the aura tax product was in Lou of paint and it does look much stronger than what they are usually built with your build looks great looking forward to you taking your first flight I’m just north of you on the eastern border of Iowa . have a great one, looking forward to seeing your finished product you’ve done a great job.

@@Nordviking8 Thanks Gary, stop in if your ever down this way and I'll give you the nickel tour...

Haha, takes a while to get used to that.
