I have a boat trailer that I have adapted for my Kitfox. I haven't seen a Vixen being trailered, so this may be different from yours. I have included a picture. Supports are always used, either hom ...

When I spoke to Charlie Gibbs, I guess he didn't know about the other two. I saw the wings being put together, partially built. You are right, very complicated. They are covered with wood, but Char ...

I am a little late in response to this question. I was in Grangeville, ID not long ago and came across the 4 place Kitfox cousin designed by one of the same people that designed the Kitfox. He also ...

I don't know of any one that has done that, but would be interested in the conversion myself. I intend on flying into the back country this summer with my Vixen, but some of the strips in Idaho are n ...
