I was informed today by my instructor that the FAA would not allow me to take my check ride for my license in a Kitfox. Some business about it being too much like an ultralight... Sounded fishy to me. I this true?

Sounds weird but I don't know for sure. Who is your DPE? Ask him.

I believe the decision is left up to the examiner. I took my PP check our ride in N24ZM back in "98. My instructor took the examiner around the pattern a few times to check her out in the Kitfox and when they landed I hopped in and we did the check ride. On the way back to the airport she informed me that she would do the flying and landing. I thought I must have messed something up badly as she seemed not to want me to fly any more. She bounced it and then turned to me and said "congratulations, your a pilot, we'll just tell them you did the landing". Turns out she liked Kitfox so well she just wanted to fly it some more:)

    

   PS: I sure miss that airplane:(

Danny:



I took a picture of this plane in Sun&Fun 97, one

month before I bought my Kitfox.  It was literally a

"magazine aircraft".  As a matter of fact, I remember

seen it in ACS catalog and EAA magazine.  Most likely,

still have a copy.  No doubt I'm a fan of the

checkered tail Kitfox.
