Kitfox STi Build Update 26: Final Touches, Final Inspection, First Flight…

[@michaelriley4230]

Good information for those of us that are considering the experimental direction. Seems to be an more affordable direction considering not everybody can afford to fund a certified plane.

Congratulations! (and "yikes!" on the autopilot servo!)

[@kitesurfjerry]

Congratulations!! Been following your progress from the beginning. Very informative. Getting my STi kit next month. Will be watching all your videos again as I build mine for reference. Thank you and blue skies!

Freefly...will you be creating build content to view on KZbin?

[@kitesurfjerry]

@@markstoll9636 I haven’t decided yet. Are you building a plane?

[@markstoll9636]

I will be building a back country type plane soon. I have to figure q few things out with regards to which brand I'd prefer to go with..but the online content is a very useful tool for all of us to learn from.

Down here in Ft Myers, this is my lifelong bucket list project. Great to see one of these here in Florida flying around, with bush wheels even.

[@davidlangford3841]

Have followed your build videos for over a year from here in New Zealand. Congratulations, you are a very impressive young man. Wonderful role model. Your hard work and attention to detail along with your humble disposition makes the videos very special. Best wishes from here on.

Awesome series, watched every episode now. inspiring for sure, even if i end up building another aircraft than a kitfox this was still very educational. Keep up the great work!

[@artisticallydesigned872]

Well done!!!!!

[@KitfoxPilot]

Congrats! Going to put my deposit down this week! Big waiting list :(

[@markstoll9636]

Good job. Its been fun watching you build this plane.

[@HookedOnUtah]

Great video, and congratulations, super cool. Put a spinner on your plane, it will increase your speed, and you'll be able to use a prop balancer to get the vibration or of your prop. Way to go!

[@MarkAlanHoran]

Congratulations. I’ve enjoyed all your videos. Your honesty about your frustrations with build process have been very helpful.

[@notinservice3724]

[@curtisjackson355]

Just noticed you took off on 27R I grew up on that airport

[@dogfoodking]

Interesting comments about the elevator trim....

[@randycamden6926]

Congrats! Basically binged all your videos over the last three nights! You did an awesome job on this build and I hope to start one for myself someday soon

Great job... Just started my build and have learned so much from you and farmfox... Thank you!!

[@martinjnee3986]

Have enjoyed all your videos. Let us know how you rigged out that heavy wing, I have the same problem on a kitfox 4. Thanks .😊

[@vernerradialkitfox4083]

Great job!

[@markperkins5664]

Nice job! So happy for you. It has been enjoyable to follow your build. I’m way behind you on my build, but I’m hoping to make some good gains over the winter months. Congratulations!🍾

[@TheJasonmurphy2005]

Hi Mark!

[@josephwilliamcosta]

you referenced a couple times in regards to your cert, but the video prior to this was before the cert.

[@leviathanatos6886]

Congratulations!!

[@Project2Aero]

Very cool build man!

[@CaptainCharlieBravo]

Nice build brother! Been following since the beginning. I just got started on my Rv-14. Let me know if you’re ever in the Kentucky area. I’d love to get a closer look at your craftsmanship.

[@trentru]

Félicitation Bravo

[@jefish]

Can go 75mi, or 25mi? (11:36)

[@wadestoelting5942]

Congrats. Did you have any issues with insurance? Did you choose liability only or decide to insure the plane too? Did not sound like you did 10 hours in type prior to meet any insurance requirements.

[@Colin_Holloway]

Personal question... how tall are you? It looks like you have good headroom.

[@gaetanosagliocco1866]

Congratulations!
