[@jerrymcrary3559]

Hey, Trent. I just want to let you know if you're ever up North. In the panhandle of Idaho got a place for kit foxes to land kitchens working on the ADUs right now. Good enough for a couple of people to stay. Give me a shout, thanks. Jerry

[@adamr9215]

You are really pushing Soylent green? I guess you have never watched clockwork orange? Yea, not buying that. Go eat people if you want, not me.

[@haroldnelson3734]

I can't blame anyone for wanting a KitFox so much that they just go ahead and buy one...and then worry about the pilot's license later.

[@SooSmokie]

Talk about motivation to hurry and get your license.

[@jamesordwayultralightpilot]

That's what I did...never needed the license tho.

[@aleeexxx9]

if its a good deal and you know for sure you will get your license, i see a smart move.

[@larrylaitner3473]

I bought a 1946 Ercoupe in 1970. I soloed it a week later and had my license in about six weeks. Much of the $2000 I spent for the money I spent for the plane would have been spent on a rental, which was $20 per hour back then. Of course I had to buy my own 80 octane fuel for around a dollar a gallon, so that's an extra $4 an hour. Well worth it.

[@haroldnelson3734]

Smart! Love those Ercoupes. Such classic planes.@@larrylaitner3473

[@lobopropredatorcontrol]

I've been wanting a kitfox for years and have dreamed of flying since I was a boy. I've bought land at the end of an airstrip in Elk City Idaho built a small cabin and hope to live long enough to make it all come true. Love your videos

[@jhmcglynn]

I see that N146KF is a Kitfox IV like the one I used to have. Mine was an 80 hp Rotax but I bet 100 hp Kitfox goes up like a rocket. Did I tell you I miss my Kitfox😢

[@NathanTenney]

Fun fact, A co-worker of mine was an extra in Soylent Green. Every time I see a Soylent ad, I think of him.

[@blueman5924]

alive ? or dead extra ?😂

[@Soylent]

Couldn't have made it without him!

[@albtrauf4455]

Yeah, Maule. One of the quirkiest and at the same time versatile planes to grace the skies. I absolutely love my MX7 235!

[@submechanophobia768]

Probably much more room than an M5. Early mauls were nothing more than Pacers with the tiniest back seats. you had to have stick legs to fit in. Plus the doors suck. I f'd up my back trying to get into one.

[@michaelsamson3276]

I got my first job as an A&P at the Auburn airport in ... 1976! It was a much different airport then. I look old but don't see myself as this old, kind of bizarre. I still fly a taildragger too!

Thanks for the video Trent! Also, the comment about “that’s how you land a SuperSTOL” made me proud. 😊. Sorry I was late to the party. Waiting for the oil to get a little higher than 120. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it!

[@TrentonPalmer]

Haha, you were all good, and see how the other landing looked fine from the outside also? I know you mentioned it felt bad but looked great to me

[@Frequentlytryingtostayflying]

[@jeremyMcBeth]

DUDE!! I am in the beginning process of getting my private license (like looking at the ground schools early) and I am looking for a Kit Fox. I found a 4 with the trailer and all that looked brand new and missed the sale that I feel was a steal. Been crying every day since but I will one day have a Kit Fox. Love the vids. Love the back country.

[@hometownchico]

I'm surprised to didn't invite Juan Brown along, he lives right there in Auburn.

[@craigwhiting4255]

His story is similar to mine! I bought mine 2 months after I started flight lessons in a J-3. Actually my 1st solo and my checkride were in my own plane, a Kitfox 4-1200!

[@pablofb75]

I hope you cleared that landing at Nevada County with Juan Browne @Blancolirio !

[@FlywithBillyByers]

Nice to see a Maule in the video! I have a m6-235. Love it.

[@1asdfasdfasdf]

I sure hope he got his medical before buying that plane. My CFI told me to get a medical before I started my training. If I failed the medical due to say color blindness I would not be able to get a check ride. I've heard rumors that some FBO's will let you go through the whole program to the point where it's time to see an AME only to fail the exam and have wasted all that money.

[@Maybe-So]

"Soylent Green" was a movie from 1973. Earth had run out of food, and this great new product came out. Turned out "Soylent Green" was "people" - what a horrible marketing idea. This is what happens when folks forget history, or don't research a name. Maybe it's a good product? Sorry Trent. I'll never know.

[@NeoIsrafil]

They named it that as a joke, but it's worked out good for them. They grew from nothing very fast. Honestly name recognition has done more for them than it has hurt them. Remember, humans kinda run off name recognition to a degree, same reason the same idiots get elected over and over when we all hate em. The people who know the joke will buy it to be like "yaaaaah I'm eating peeeeepool" and people who don't, realistically, probably wouldn't have bought it anyway.

[@nyontozel]

Or maybe it's still people.... like in the movie...

[@SooSmokie]

It's actually really good. A good food replacement. After watching the hills have eyes, do you refuse to go on road trips also?

[@kistovisback]

The naming is intentional. They know about the movie. It's meant to be funny.

[@SooSmokie]

@@kistovisback I've been to the plant. Where do you think all these illegal immigrants are going? 🤣

I almost bought his old idaho livery kitfox. It sold so fast it was in the very beginning of my airplane shopping.

I thought I heard lawn mower engines flying over my house the other day at KGOO. 8:54

[@jaycooper2812]

Trent, you need to get a Maule yourself. I live in Alaska and they are a very popular aircraft here for the heavy payload they can carry. The Maule M-9 can carry 2 people, 250 pounds of luggage and 7+ hours of fuel. The gros weight is 2800 pounds and we have a lot of them on floats.😊

[@Squawk-VFR]

I'll check out the insurance. Just got my Sport certificate last week, and haven't flown cause insurance premium quote is high for the rental aircraft I want to rent

[@Wild_Bill57]

Buying a Kitfox sounds like a brilliant way to motivate oneself to get their pilot’s license. Trent, your buddy there sounded like he was hungry when the video started. He did say that he gets a little crazy when he’s hungry. So, guess I’m saying, he’s brilliant and crazy at the same time. Didn’t get the paint scheme until, I remembered the expression: Keep the Blue Side Up! ⬆️

[@boogerwood]

Insurance is ridiculous! That said... day 1 of actually taking possession of my new airplane, the FBO towed it with the parking brake on... $7k damage. Had to file insurance until they subrogate. Was glad for insurance!

[@harpandharley]

Bought an airplane and can’t fly it? In the same situation as I bought Leonard Milholland’s original Legal Eagle late last year. Severe health issues have grounded me for now. I’ll get better but don’t know when yet. Great video Trent!

What happens when you slam the throttle to the floor in airplane? Like doing a burnout in a car but in the air does the airplane just accelerate super fast?

[@joseruiz-Joecool]

Good luck to your friend on finding instruction to get either his Private or Sport Pilot Certificates. If he finds someone please, please announce it. I own a Kitfox 2 with a D-MOTOR and since covid have not been able to get instruction in a Kitfox. I have been looking for instruction a long time. The instructor in Denton, Texas tells me he is booked till Dec. 2024. I own a Kitfox, but never have flown in one. I taxi mine ever so often, but that's all I get to do.

Trent, I have your Freedom Fox in MSFS2020, what is the stall speed in various degrees of flaps? thanks,

[@TrentonPalmer]

I rarely practice stalls in anything other than full flaps so its hard to recall, I want to say no flaps my stall speed is right arounf 42mph and full flaps I indicate around 36mph at the break.

[@av8or971]

just an FYI.. you are not clear of the runway, until you pass entirely over the hold short lines., then you are clear.. just sharing the proper time when to announce clear. whats the latest on the inspection pass BS? i mean you all did inspection passes on these flights and landed when it was safe, which is the correct way to do it.. so just curious if that BS is over yet

[@NeoIsrafil]

The FAA would like to speak to you about your planes extended warranty 😂

[@DanFrederiksen]

Stol plane should be relatively low cost to ensure because it doesn't go fast enough or weigh enough to destroy things and I assume the big wing is harder to stall and can do the impossible turn with relative ease? why no low wing stol planes? I'd think that getting the wing deep in ground effect is better. Bit of aerodynamics might not be bad either. And do the wheel really need to be that big? do you ever land on 15cm (6") boulders? airless tires might be great for aviation because we don't need a great ride. Planes spend so little time rolling. And ruling puncture out has to be peace of mind.

[@danielsmith6782]

I'm going to assume you are being sarcastic or trolling and not just making a statement that dumb.

[@trustyaeronaut]

Most Stol planes are taildraggers which are more difficult to handle on the ground leading to more accidents than your typical nose-draggers, they are also often landing off airport on unknown surfaces which is riskier leading to higher insurance rates. High wings are usually preferred off airport since the wings can clear brush and other stuff that a low wing might hit. The wheels probably don't need to be that big for the majority of the off airport sites, but someone always has to land first at a "new" spot and it's hard to really tell how rough a spot will be until you land...hence the desire for massive tires. And the ride inside is quite a bit bumpier than it l looks like, you want all the suspension you can get and the air in those big tires helps a lot.

[@DanFrederiksen]

@@danielsmith6782 A wise man in a Steven Seagal movie once said assumption is the mother of all fuckups.

[@DanFrederiksen]

@@trustyaeronaut I get you can land in a narrow track with a high wing but how often is that done in reality with obstacles taller than your gear. I was thinking a narrower square profile airless tire with very little hub such that a much smaller wheel has similar give and tread. A smaller wheel could be in some kind of wheel pants and be much less drag. To combine STOL with travel capability. I don't hear many stol plane accidents but maybe you guys do a lot of non fatal ones? tipping over and stuff. STOL insurance could have a high deductible so you pay for your own mistakes unless the plane is totalled or you wreck a building or other planes. I think the low speed and stall difficulty keeps you out of a lot of trouble. whereas bonanzas are dying left and right

[@trustyaeronaut]

@@DanFrederiksen Ahh, it's more than just landing, taxing around and parking and stuff is all easier with a high wing and the visibility below is much better. A stol machine that can travel at a decent speed is the dream! haha. But, like most things, it's easy to build something that is good at one thing, but making something that is good at multiple things is a bit more challenging. I think usually the allure of landing somewhere new and unique outweighs the desire to get there quicker. As far as accident ratios, I suspect a lot more guys are bending props out in the bush than dying in Bonanzas, but I don't feel like looking up the data :)
