I'd sure like to have been a fly on the wall and overheard the
decision-making process at the EAA's publishing offices when they
choose the two pictures that accompany the article "Kitfox Classic
Return(s)" in Sport Aviation, and Sport Pilot this month. I wonder
what Kitfox Aircraft LLC thinks? How about it John? Would you have
chosen the orange plane to grace the announcement of the Kitfox
Classic, being as it doesn't really look like the Classic any more?
In the cowling area, that is....and the landing gear. Maybe a fly on
the wall at Kitfox Aircraft LLC could tell a better story. : )

They probably just picked the best looking Kitfox 4 they could find.

Lynn,
Being that was your aircraft... it is not the pic that was sent to
the EAA... Why they substituted the pic is beyond me...
Here is the pic sent..

Somebody up there must like me! : ) I think they took so many of the
plane when we did our air-to-air photo mission, that they were/are
going to get their money's worth.
I saw that picture...N91KS...on the wall of the FBO in Laramie, WY,
in 2007 when I stopped there for fuel during my return trip from
California. It was signed by 3 people: C.O. Denny, Skip Calderquist
(sp?) and Patrick xxxxxxx? When I mentioned this at the time,
somebody named all three of them...can you add anything more, John?
The photo on the wall there has certainly seen it's share of sun
hitting it, and is faded badly....wanna send them a fresh one? It IS
a beautiful plane, as are all Kitfoxes...oops, now I'm being a brown-
nose. : )

91KS was the first kitfox I had a ride in. In 1994 I went over to the old Skystar to look at the Kitfox. I got a demo flight with Patric Rediker I think his name was. We flew down the Boise River at treetop level. I was impressed. Enough that I ordered my kit before leaving that afternoon.
I think that aircraft was sold overseas a few years later.
I used to have one of those posters but left it hanging on the wall of my shop in Oregon when I moved to Washington. Do not archive

A little longer wing and colour matched floats and I'd be drooling....
Did I fool anyone??
That's one gorgeous plane!

I've got that one on the wall. I demoed that in Grand Prairie, TX in
1992 and got the poster when I ordered my kit from Sue Downs. It could
have been perfect, but the framing shop didn't do the best job.

You'd want orange and white and black floats? Come to think of it, so
would I. : )
