Well, that depends upon how you define, "back in the air." I got a
new medical about a year ago and have been actively flying the Turbo
Arrow since then. I'm VFR, IFR, and night current. 
The new Kitfox is coming along (slowly) but it will probably be at
least another year and a half before it makes the transition from
"pile of parts" to "hey, that's an airplane!"
Lowell is exactly right about my comments on nose wheel versus tail
wheel. There is no right or wrong, only personal preference. In my
book, Kitfoxes are beautiful, regardless of which end the third wheel
is attached to.

Mike,
I guess you are back in the air. ! Glad to hear it. I didn't realize
you were flying those other things.
And Hey,,, I concede most of your points about the little wheel in front.
I think the tail wheel advantage over trigear for rough fields is less if
the trigear is in the hands of an experienced pilot. But for me, I like the
tailwheel for the fun. And my Fox can still do much more than I can make it
do - so I am still having fun learning.
I (almost) regret my part in stoking up the holy wars again.
Randy

That's the best reason to make a landing gear choice--because it's
what YOU want!
My original comments were aimed at those who felt the original poster
should provide his reasoning for making HIS choice. I'm truly
thankful that we all don't share the same preferences on every
topic--what a boring world it would be!
