All,
Last April, I purchased a Kitfox Model IV Speedster - 912UL, It had ~ 200 hours. Unfortunately the original builder, Mr. Joseph Bender, had passed away some time ago. Then the plane sat in a shed virtually untouched for 8 years. I towed it home and over the past 8-9 months I have replaced a lot, and refinished a lot... Well you guys all know what I mean.
I had the condition Inspection last Saturday, by the same man who was the DAR that signed it off back in December 1994.
I also found the pilot who flew it for it's first test flight back then. Today he flew N926JB for the first time in over 9 years. After his test flight he took me up for about 30 minutes. Of course I was thrilled.
Although I'm a commercial pilot, the insurance company wants me to have 5 hours of instruction in type, so I will be starting that ASAP, and have a Kitfox builder on the field who is qualified.
I want to thank everyone on this list. I've learned so much, so many little things, that you just can't get from the builders manual.
And of course I want to thank Mr. Joe Bender for building a great airplane.

Today he flew N926JB for the first time in over 9 years. After his test
flight he took me up for about 30 minutes. Of course I was thrilled

Congratulations Todd. I'm guessing you'll continue to be thrilled as you
play with it more and more. I know I am.
