I am looking for an instructor with a tail wheel Kitfox. Anywhere I guess.
I have been shopping for insurance and the only workable offer I have requires
5 hours dual in same model Kitfox. I need to respond with a binder within 30
days. I want to know if the instruction in a Kitfox is even available before
I fork out the money.
Hi ! Tom,
Goodluck with getting instruction and insurance. I'm in Australia so I guess what applies to me may not to you but I was fortunate that here one can train in their own plane according to our rules although the authorities don't seem to want it to happen. Anyway I was able to get my tail wheel endorsement and also cross country Navigation in my plane. Also part of our membership with our governing body Recreational Aviation Australia [ it was Australian Ultralight Federation ] gets us $5 million third party liabillitty cover. Our annual membership is about $140 so it's a good deal I think.

Rex, I have a couple of generous offers on the training so things are looking up.
We can use our own planes for instruction in the US, but not an experimental while it is in its initial flight test period...called phase 1. This is usually 40 hours, except sometimes with a certified engine and propeller combination it is reduced to 25 hours.
Yes, I would say that Ausi insurance is a good deal.

A retired airline caption flew my model 4 for the its first flight six years ago and then offered to fly the rest of the 40 hours off. He loved the little kitfox but I wanted to fly the test phase myself. So here I am six years down the road and getting closer. I can take off land the Stinson now with out things getting too out of hand.

I too, wanted to fly off the 40 hours on my plane, but wasn't quite a
pilot yet, so I got a current airlines pilot to test fly my plane, fly
off some of the 40, then let another 2 pilots fly off the remainder of
the 40. Then I got instruction in mine, soloed in it, and now have over
120 hours solo in it. All this since March of this year. I couldn't
have stood to wait SIX! years for this to happen. In my younger years,
I would have flown it myself, wrecked it, and still be crying.
Please don't let the pride of wanting to fly your own test program rob
you of the joy of getting up there before another large time frame goes
by. I don't know what your situation is, but once you are flying your
own plane, you will forget who flew off the 40, and just concentrate on
who's flying off the next 40, 80, 100....and that will be you. Have
fun...soon!

Kitfox.
If your aircraft has dual brakes, you may find a
tailwheel instructor locally. If not, and your plane
is not limited in useful load, contact me off list and
I can give you the name of a CFI with lots of Kitfox
time. He stopped commercial flying for a career
change and may be interested in giving Kitfox
instruction to supplement his income. He may even
come to your area and/or ferry the plane to you. John
