A wonderful video for a very fun looking aircraft! 70 kts is a bit below my ideal flight speed. Perfect for real life but a bit slow for me in the sim. Thanks for making such a lovely video about the Fox!

Excellent review of this wonderful aircraft. I will buy it on Friday 😄 I discovered Trent Palmers KZbin channel a couple of weeks ago and I have watched it every day since then. So entertaining and a lovley guy to follow. Looks like I discovered the Freedom Fox little to late when he has it for sale. I will still enjoy it in the sim. I have been flying got friends gravvel and carbon cub lately in Idaho country where Trent fly alot. What I have been missing is avionics. The Freedom fox looks like it checks all of my boxes with great avionics and wonderful visibility due to the glass doors. It looks like it performs like the other STOL planes I have been using lately 🙏 I can’t wait for bush flying in MSFS 2024💪

@@MagnusThornberg hey many thanks, and the great thing is since this video released they have continued to update it so you can fly the Fox2 with a TDS GTNxi 750 if you want and there is also a steam gauge version for people like me that prefer old school instruments rather than glass cockpit.

@@Dreamsofwings that’s really cool 🙏 I love that they give us all the choice✌️if you haven’t been flying in Idaho you really need to. Start at Lower Loon Creek and fly through the canyons to nearby airstrips. Very fun approaches and challenging. I tried it with a 172 Skyhawk and was not possible 😂 the stall warning was beeping the whole time and the aircraft felt so underpowered.
