 |
|
Here's a really nice looking KF Series 7:
<http://www.kitfoxaircraft.com/images/Recent%20Completions/BHoisington.htm>
I wonder which way the conversion was done? Started out as Tricycle gear or conventional?
Maybe Bruce learned to fly in it as a tricycle gear then transitioned to tail dragger
or maybe he too needed to move the main gear forward and decided to instead, convert
to tricycle.
Anybody know the story on this?

Paul,
If it is a 7 I am pretty sure they come from the factory able to convert
back and forth from Tricycle to tail dragger, a very nice feature. John
McBean could confirm.

I found more information here:
<http://www.teamkitfox.com/Forums/showthread.php?t 23>
Which is another Kitfox forum that I discovered has a lot of members I'm familiar with
from the past, like John King.
You might have to register to view the pictures, not sure what the limitations are.
He says: "The conversion was not to difficult and took the better part of one day"
So you're probably correct, fairly straight forward conversion.
