Well guys....
Thought we would get out from under the stack of stuff waiting for
us upon our return from Oshkosh... No such luck... which is a great thing.
We are very busy. Oshkosh went very well and we appreciate all the support
from the builders/owners and a special thanks goes out to those who flew
their Kitfox's to the show. It was great to see them there.. Maybe next
year we can get them all together AND have a camping area.
Congrats to Tim Petsche's award for the OUTSTANDING WORKMANSHIP , KIT
BUILT. Most of you have seen Tim's Series 7 on our web..

As for the weights.... There are several things other then the gear.. it is
just that the gear is one of the weight saving areas that has a gross weight
limit attached to it... It is amazing how an ounce here and an ounce there
really turns into several pounds... For the record there are several early
Series 5's that are in the 600+ pound range and several 1550 GW 5's, 6's
and 7's that are between 700 and 800 pounds... Most of the heavier ones 900+
incorporate the use of the Lycoming, Continental and NSI engines.. Some are
even over the 1000 pound range.
The Super Sport will have a 1320 gross on gear (1550 option) 1430 when on
floats and the empty weight of 750 is obtainable... (most likely not on
floats unfortunately.. although that would be very nice.) yes we are looking
into floats.... For both the 1550 and the 1430.
We are also re-introducing the round cowl for the Super Sport so both will
be available.
Fly Safe !!
