Very cool... Noticed your airspeed indicator registered right around 40...................I've been plagued for years with my fox on why i have such a high stall speed.
Takeoffs with alot of wt i've started using a trick from an old pilot by pulling up quickly on flaperons after tail is up. That gets me up into ground effect lickity split. But landings on a short field or pasture or river bottom can be really tricky when i land at about 42 stall speed? Just seems a bit high when book and so many others get 32?

PS you want ot go for breakfast flyin this weekend ? A few others are talking about Reeces corner again near Sarnia. It a grass strip but you could land at Sarnia and I could pick you up and take you in if you like . A few grass runways not gonna kill your floats. My amphibs had over 1000 takesoffs and landing on grass but there is wear to show for all that .
PS did i tell you that aerocets land nice on grass with gear up ?

I purchased a new digital still camera. It does short full motion video clips too. I dropped a few of these onto Google Video. Go to Google, select the more option and pick video. If you type Kitfox as the search criteria...you will see them..and a few that others have created. Quality is not the greatest, as the Google streaming video degrades them a bit. You may find them interesting if you are new to the list and thinking maybe the Kitfox is the plane for you, or if you just like seeing a Kitfox fly.
