Comments
Most aviators know that the Kitfox Series 7 is one of the best performing, all-terrain STOL-cruisers, with excellent luggage storage, cabin width, visibility and comfort. And that's how it's marketed. Designed & made in the USA. Good Performance. Dependability. Comfort. Many will ask why this aircraft has been 'restored'. There's no accidents here. It was found to be a nice aircraft when it flew to the current owner last year, but it just needed some TLC. New owner then went to work; fuel lines, carbon fibre upgrades in baggage and seat areas, new side-windows installed, screens replaced, tips painted, and a long list of other improvements made. Estimated 1-2 weeks of assembly work to complete and fly again; original avionics is available, or new panel already designed, waiting for advanced avionics, if that is your choice. Airmaster propeller system completes the package.
