Just got back to Phoenix from the Kitfox reunion fly in.  Lotsa

Kitfoxes, old friends and good food.  One of the high lights

was the arrival of Dan Denney in his Special Effects Kitfox.

Was really great to talk to him again and see him fly the

Super Sport with John.  First owner and the current owner.

Kitfoxers flew in from California, Colorado, Arizona, Oregon

and Idaho.

See you next year!

Maybe Dan was there to get in line to buy the existing Kitfox lite  line that is for sale that no one wants to talk about  <very>

All,

         I have replied to Mr. Whitman off-line. As he is, for the 

time being, no longer capable of receiving list messages there is no 

need to respond here. Feel free, however, to abuse him directly at 

his personal email address prominently displayed below.

I've heard that people in the upper latitudes can sit in front of fluorescent

lights for extended periods to relieve depression and other

Sorry, I seem to think everyone has been around Kitfox since 1984.
	


Dan built a Model 4 Biplane 10 or 12 years ago.  It was painted a

neon yellow with metallic  blue scallops.  It was named "Special

Effects".  The biplane wings are now gone and it has a custom

high wing.   I'll get pictures on in a couple of days.

I saw the bi-plane version one night late on some unknown website and have

never found it again.  I would be interested in a picture of that if anyone

knows where or how to get there.

Here's another view.   At the factory fly-in of 2000 or 2001, Dan flew it over to Caldwell (from Napa) for the Sat evening banquet.

How did he get in? A catwalk on the lower  wing?

Aside from the shear beauty are there and numbers for performance,

efficiency?  I would think the extra set of wings would add weight and

drag. Maybe the are half as long, don't know. While I was looking at the

pictures my mind envisioned it as a low wing as well. Very nice.

As I recall, I read somewhere that the performance wasn't all that great as 

compared to the mono high wing, nor was it expected to be.  It was just a 

one-up concept.  I think the wings were just halves.  All in all it was a 

beautiful airplane and I always thought it would look good at the Oshkosh 

museum.  A rightful place for it amongst many other concepts.  I saw it up 

close and personal at Oshkosh and it was as pretty as the photos.

Thanks to all of you who sent photos.  You made my day and week.  Cool stuff like this really gets me excited about the true freedom of building and experimental aircraft.

I am not a fan of biplanes, but that is one cool looking Kitfox  !   I love the colors, that is the paint job I am going to do on mine, black scallops over cub yellow
