Another great video! Keep flying your Kitfox, cause I can't fly mine for now.

That's a great video, Dave!

I'm assuming that is one of your friends that crashed around Parsons. Praying for him.

Nice job getting her back on the ground. We take life for granted in till something like this happens. I’ve watched your videos, but now it’s time to subscribe. Thanks for sharing.

Would love to, but have to fly commercial... 🇳🇴

If my crypto does well this year, like REALLY well, maybe I'll get to that next fly-in! That would be a dream! Thanks for the videos!!

Love it!!!!

Very nice!

Too cold? Get yourself a snow machine suit, gloves, and boots, like we do in New England when ski flying.

Beautiful sunset!!!

Glad to see you and Troy getting some landings at 7up👍🏼😎

These vibes sir are spectacular! happy to have found this channel

Where are you venting your header tank to ..?

Good stuff!

Another awesome video Dave.

Cool video! Now you and Jonas need to make a trip to sunny South Africa!🙂

I wish I could fly out there…I’ll keep dreamin

What’s the useful load of your plane?

So when you have get together out at the hanger, where do guests go to take a leak? Drive over to the city’s pilot’s lounge?

Hey David, I enjoy watching your flying sequences. You and Troy have shown us that you don't have to own a $200K KitFox to have fun flying one!

What engines do y'all have in y'all's planes??

That 4-wheeler had an Aft CG for a little bit

Stumbled across your channel today, I’m from Miami area and have a sister living in altamont, Worked in Oswego several years,

Nice buck. FLy a circle over Baxter sometime.

I got a 9 point Buck the other day. It was a baby compared to these. Nobody around here let's them get big. Lots of out of state pay hunters. Congratulations on some nice bucks. On that 4 wheeler, go backwards up that hill. Well, try that. Might work.

Flying, fishing and hunting. No where better than Kansas. Awesome video.

Great video brother!

Some monster deer up there! That slow fuel flow is not normal and I'd figure out what's going on ASAP. There are arguments both ways for shut off valves. Kitfox does not show them in the installation manual. They can be restrictive. I'd get rid of them. Also, I'd replace any and all rubber lines from the tanks if they are old. Could have some deterioration going on in the lines causing fuel to slow. Obviously check the finger strainers in the tanks, especially the slow one. There is a vent line that runs from the header to the right tank. Usually it's thin clear tubing. It can kink very easily, especially when using zip ties for routing. If your getting fuel transfer from uncoordinated flight, it sounds like it's free and clear but still worth checking.

David, What's your mount setup for the insta 360 on the droop tip mounting screws? Also, what thickness lexan did you make the new turtle deck out of? Great content, and thanks for the info!

Nice buck

Hey David, did you get to the bottom of your fuel feed issue yet?

Hey brother, I think we're from the same neck of the woods. I fly out of KBUM in a rented C150. Are you flying out of Pittsburg Kansas?

I built a Model IV Kitfox that I have now been flying for several years. Every year during the condition inspection I raise the tail to flying attitude and measure the fuel flow AFTER the fuel filter. I have always had over 15 gallons per hour. This is just gravity flow. Then I change the filter. I figure that takes care of most of the fuel flow issues. from the tanks to the fuel pump. Nice landing!!

Nice landing with grain. Also in old days all the propellers were made of wood so when the engine went out you had a dead stick.

Do you drain the tank sumps and the gascolator before every flight? also when I use mogas I ALWAYS fill my cans with a Mr. filter funnel.

Seems like a vapor lock. My brain says it’s tied somehow to the right fuel cap leak? I dunno. Occam’s razor comes to mind. Easiest answer might be accurate. You did a great job, bro! I’ve been a pilot for over 30yrs. You stayed calm and got her on the ground. That’s the important part and you’ve learned something, too. ✌️

Man, I’d love to fly again! Been 6yrs now. Trying to come up with a plan to get back at it! Kitfox, RANS look perfect for my needs. Glad you’re safe!! 🙏

I'm an old UL Pilot, a little over 200 hours in a Flightstar UL. I had two engine outs in those hours, one on takeoff when the Rotax 503 single ignition failed at about 150 feet, I was taught to use all the runway and just dropped the nose and put it back down. The second was a cold seizure on the engine at about 1500 feet agl. I found a convenient field and put it down. I caught one of your terraces and bounced back up in the air, put it back down pretty hard and had to do a gear repair but it is certainly a learning experience. Ignore the haters, keep flying and be safe!

HI,great story about the build of the Kitfox, great airplane I learnt to fly in one back in 1989-90 in the desert at Alice Springs Australia, there is an old bomber airstrip called Bond Springs 20km north of Alice township great days, good wake up for all of us with the engine out well done. Dx

You are lucky man that there are so many fields in your area. The pilot and airplane are in a working condition and ready to take off again. Great life video. Thank you. My Sub for your incredible video.

Not a pilot here, and likely never will be (Age and health!), but I'm glad that you're closing in on the cause of the problem. My guess is that you'll be checking fuel condition before every flight after that scare.

Found you today. Glad that you landed safely. But that return flight must have caused some anxiety.

"Haters gonna hate"..... Even if you touched down faster than you prefer, it still looked smooth and you got it stopped short!

Enjoyed this! you handled that really well. Man, you were lucky you were fairly high when it happened, and that there were plenty of fields around.

For the entire 58hrs it took me to fly from CA to Oshkosh and back in '92 I was waiting for that Rotax 532 on the nose of my Kitfox Model 1 to crap out, but it didn't.

First, I’m happy everything turned out alright. Second, the last thing you said was “I gotta go crappie fishing over here”. And then you went silent. I could see prop wasn’t spinning but you didn’t talk. That I found surprising or not. Perhaps you were so frightened that you could’ve speak.

Dogs make everything better

I have a Kitfox 7 but I think the fuel system is basically the same. The vents face the wind creating positive pressure on the tanks. If one cap isn’t directly into the wind and the other is, it can create differential pressure and cause one tank to flow faster or fill the other tank. A bad fuel cap gasket can do it as well. Do you have the newer style fuel pump with the return line to the header tank? It helps reduce vapor lock. Nice dead stick landing BTW.

Header tank needs a cross fed vent system - The Nan Chang has a low header tank and all three tanks are vented. The Kit Fox I built had multiple vents and pick ups Header vent and pick up two inlets. Tanks had cross vented & cap vents with pick ops fore & aft tee to single line to header and a low fuel light on the header from an R-22 helicopter.

Kinda sounds like you might have a vent plugged. Usually for the fuel to drain it needs a way to vent the exchange of pressure for it to feed correctly. I would say look at all of the vents: CAP and bottom vent. Possible there is a clog in the lines, but very rare.
